New Releases for June

I hope everyone has been enjoying this beautiful early Summer weather.  Back in April, I was starting to wonder if it was ever going to warm up!  Thankfully it finally did.

I have some new cross stitch pattern releases to share today. 

This one was inspired by Kris Herber who runs the Kitty And Me Designs Facebook Group.  She loves her coffee and suggested something with this phrase.  Since I love anything antique and vintage, I thought a vintage style coffee pot would be fun!

The coffee design then inspired the Cross Stitch Keeps Me Sane pattern.  How many of us need our needlework and hobbies as a stress reliever?  

I also worked up the June and August Colorful Cats patterns for the 12 month series.  This is June.  She features strawberries and gingham.  The ladies on the Facebook group have told me they love gingham.

And this is August.  She features a variety of flowers and looks like a warm, late Summer day.

My patterns are available at many needlework retail stores both online and brick & mortar shops.  And you can find them in my Etsy store as well.  Be sure to use Coupon Code:  STITCH1 when you place your order.

Semiquincentennial Eagle Is Ready For Framing!

Ready for framing. I finished the Semiquincentennial Eagle yesterday. After being off by 1 stitch on the right side of the eagle and spending quite a bit of time trying to find the mistake, I was able to move forward and complete the project. It was a joy to stitch! If you would like to stitch the pattern, you can order it from everythingcrossstitch.com .

I stitched my project on 28 ct Light Taupe Lugana over 2 fabric threads.  I used Kreinik #002 #4 Braid for the metallic.  It took a little more than 1 1/2 spools.  Kreinik is hard to come by these days but if you have 2 spools in your stash, it should be more than enough.  I'll take this up to Hobby Lobby and get it framed.  I'm thinking something simple like a metallic gold frame but I have to see what they have.  I'm not framing it myself, I don't like doing that and my Hobby Lobby does a nice job. 

And don't forget, we're having a stitch-along on Fans Of Kitty And Me Designs Facebook Group. There are prizes for the 1st 2 stitchers who complete the project. Hop on over and join us!
