To start 2021, I designed this modern, handmade arts and crafts themed SAL project - Made to Create! Its a celebration of creativity and the crafty hobbies that you love (not just stitching!) Pre-order your kit or pattern from 26th November 2020 onwards.
Giving a cross stitch gift for Christmas goes beyond someone making a pretty project; you’re creating a space of relaxation, mindfulness, calm and creativity that they can enjoy every single day.
If there was ever a time to take up stitching, or a good time to get into your first (or 40th) stitch-a-long, this is it. Christmas is one of my favourite times of year and although pre-order opens in August, like anything worthwhile, our festive stitching takes time.
As we slowly start to emerge from the lockdown of the last few months it’s a great time to be finishing projects and starting something new. In my previous post about how to finish off cross stitch we talked about hoops, bookmarks and backing boards and in this post I want to show you how to finish cross stitch ornaments, bags and cushions.
The brand new Positivity Rules Stitch-a-Long starts in May 2020 and its perfect for beginners. Equally, if you're already a seasoned stitcher, I hope you're also going to find plenty in this pattern to entertain you!
If you're interested in cross stitch and love flowers and gardening, this is the stitch-a-long you've been waiting for! We actually carried out a (totally non-official) survey earlier in the year and found that along side reading, gardening was one of the cross stitching community's favourite hobbies!
When it comes to Christmas, are you a meticulous planner who has everything sorted before the shops bring out the mince pies? Or do you leave everything to the last minute, vowing this is the last year you’ll resort to socks?
If you're interested in cross stitch and love Christmas, this is the cross stitch kit for you! Christmas is by far my favourite time of year, putting up the tree, baking the cake and buying gifts for your favourite people.
