First Robin Of Spring Cross Stitch Pattern

Okay, so Spring is still 6 months away, but if you start now, you can have this finished in time for Spring!

Little by little, I'm re-working my cross stitch patterns into new leaflets.  This was the mystery stitch along that I did for Spring of 2008.  It's one of my most popular designs:

2017 Counted Cross Stitch Halloween Mystery Stitch-Along

If you enjoyed my "mystery" cross stitch projects in the past, you'll love the 2017 Halloween Mystery Stitch-Along!

This is a 4 part/4 week mystery.  The schedule is as follows:

The start date is Monday September 18, 2017 for Part 1.
Part 2 Monday September 25, 2017
Part 3 Monday October 2, 2017
Part 4 Monday October 9, 2017

This design is my traditional style, similar to the 2007 Christmas Mystery.

Here is the basic information that you will need to get started:

Stitch Count:  134 stitches square
Fabric:  14 count White Aida or 28 count White Evenweave over 2 fabric threads
Finished size:  9 1/2 inches square
Fabric size for framing:  15 1/2 inches square
Fabric size for a pillow:  13 1/2 inches square
Threads:  DMC


209, 210, 211, 310, 550, 552, 553, 745, 772, 975, 3345, 3346, 3347, 3348, 3823, 3853, 3854, 3855, White



Each part of the 4 part mystery will be released and available to download via my Etsy shop.
The mystery is $10.00.  That will be broken down into 4 parts as well.  You will have to order each part separately at $2.50 each.  Each part of the design will be available as an "Instant Download".

One week after Part 4 is released, the Instant Downloads will be removed and replaced with a " hard copy, leaflet only" full pattern.  So please, download each part as it becomes available.  I've had a horrible time with copyright issues over the years.  I'm hoping that by doing it this way, I will eliminate having to chase my copyrights all over the internet.

So that's my news for today!  Gather your supplies and get ready to stitch a beautiful and fun Halloween project!  Spread the word too!  The more people we have stitching this, the more fun it will be.

If you would like a nice place to discuss the project, you can hop over to Facebook and join the "Fans Of Kitty And Me Designs" group:   https://www.facebook.com/groups/fansofkittyandmedesigns/
There a lot of nice ladies over there to talk with about your project!!!

UPDATE - I'm going to rethink the payment plan and where to upload the files.  International ladies will end up paying way too much in Etsy fees.  Let me think about this over night and I will post the revised upload/payment plan tomorrow.
