FREE VINTAGE 'EARLY BIRD' CROSS STITCH PATTERN

January 14, 2016 2 Comments

I thought I'd break away from the alphabet-related theme for a moment and design this little chap I've called "Early Bird". I don't tend to design a great deal of animal/nature style patterns (although watch out for our next cross stitch kit which does include a rather wise owl) but I really enjoyed putting these DMC shades together and adding the cherry blossom as a finishing touch. I love his chubby little tummy and bright beak.

"Early Bird" is now available as a FREE pattern to any newsletter subscribers. You can add your email in the box in the footer on the website or in any pop up box and the link will be provided to you.

I'd love to see the pictures of your finished "Early Bird" and any different colour combinations you've used!

Happy stitching!

I love cross stitching because I find stitching so meditative and relaxing and the patterns are so beautiful. There’s such a sense of accomplishment when you’re done too!

I wasn't aware of the difference a great quality fabric can make both to the experience of stitching and to the appearance of the finished work. So, I thought it would be really interesting to go back in time and find out everything about the needlecraft fabric brand we love and what makes it so special.

3 GREAT WAYS TO FINISH OFF YOUR CROSS STITCH PROJECT

June 05, 2020

If you’ve been working on cross stitch in a hoop then it’s easy to finish off the back with a neat piece of felt. You’ll need your finished cross stitch piece, the hoop you want to frame it in, a pencil, some scissors, a needle, cotton thread, embroidery thread and a piece of felt that’s at least as big as the hoop.
