Wow, it's been awhile since I posted an update. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!
With the holidays behind us now, it's time to get down to some serious stitching time! I'm sure by now everyone knows that stitching helps to relieve stress! And these days, we all have plenty of that to relieve!!
First, I want to share all of my new cross stitch releases.
It's no secret that I absolutely love cats!! I really love all animals but cats truly are my favorite. I've started a new series of cross stitch patterns called Colorful Cats! These are modern style, geometric cat designs each with a very unique name:
Are these fun or what?!! I need to stitch one of these, probably Nightmare because I had a Nightmare kitty.
Worked mostly in full stitches with just a few 1/4 stitches and a twinge of backstitching, these design use one Kreinik metallic in each design for a touch of sparkle.
Of course I couldn't stop with cats! With Spring and Easter coming, I decided to do some Colorful Bunnies as well:
Like the cats, these Colorful Bunnies are worked mostly in full cross stitches with a few fractional stitches and a twinge of backstitching. And they use a little bit Kreinik metallic.
My Crazy Ornaments have been so incredibly popular. I have loads of ideas for more but for now, my newest ones are Snowmen and Daisies:
These can be worked on Perforated Paper which makes them quick and easy to finish into ornaments, refrigerator magnets, package tie-on's or bookmarks. Of course they can be stitched on 14 count Aida as well.
I actually stitched up one of the trees and one of the shamrocks:
Mine are worked on Perforated Paper by Mill Hill and I'll be making them into refrigerator magnets.
These and all of my cross stitch and crazy quilt products can be found in my
Etsy store. Be sure to use Coupon Code: STITCH1 when you place your order.
Also, there's a really cool new Facebook group for stitchers who like to make ornaments! If you would like to join, here's the link:
