How to cross stitch

2008-10-07T08:41:00.002-05:00

I am posting this video by Yarn Tree, for those who want to learn how to cross stitch. This video shows how cross stitching is really simple. The Yarn Tree is a retailer for supplies for cross stitching. :)

I am so thrilled to have Sleeping Beauty added to my stash.

Rose

2007-10-01T14:13:00.000-05:00

This is my first scan of a small Rose I am stitching for my MIL. This is a San Man Original Design. This is going to be a gift for her. She does not know I have a blog and she does not read blogs, so I am safe showing this here. :)

Unlike 2 other gifts I am making. The bell pull and needle roll will have to be posted after Christmas, when she gets them. :)

Autumn Queen

2007-10-01T13:29:00.000-05:00

This is what a completed AQ looks like.

This is my progress so far on Autumn Queen by Mirabilia Designs.

I am stitching her on 28 count Jobelan. The color is English Rose. I love the color combination of floss and the fabby. :)

You will be sick of seeing my progress I am sure, but I do plan on working on her on and off until Christmas. Then after Christmas I will concentrate on just stitching her. :)

Mail Art

2007-09-26T18:03:00.002-05:00

This is my first mail art. Since my "partner" received hers, I will now post the pic.

This is the front. I blacked out the addresses.

This is the back. This is the 4th time for me to do button holes. I was proud it worked out so well. :)

It was really hard to part with my stitching and not have it "protected". Surprisingly she got it all white. :)

I am still working on Autumn Queen. I forgot how much fun it is to stitch on evenweave. I love the colors!

I dyed the fabric myself. I love how the yellow turned out.

Biscornu

I completed my first Biscornu. Well, sort of, I still have to find the "Perfect" button for it, but no biggie. :)

Biscornu is a French adjective that means "that which has an irregular form, with projections" or "complicated and bizarre."

Stitching

2007-07-29T09:43:00.001-05:00

Hello this is my 3rd Blog. This is strictly about my stitching. I have been cross stitching on and off for 17 years. Darn I am old. I could not stitch while my kids were little because needles, floss, fabric and juice does NOT mix.

I like to stitch all sorts of different things. Over the years my taste have changed many times. Since the internet my eyes have been opened to different designers. I am still discovering designers that I love.

I know I will never stitch every single chart I have, but I can try. :) I love new stash, be scissors, floss, fabric, or needles. I just love everything about stitching. It is my addiction and I refuse to give it up! :)

So happy Stitching.
