Silent Night Barn Owl Stitchalong

Happy mail this morning with the arrival of goodies to begin stitching my second new start for 2024.

The design is Silent Night by Emma Congdon in the latest issue of Cross Stitcher magazine. The minute I saw it I knew I had to stitch it. Do you fancy joining me in a stitch-along? I’ll call it #silentnightemmacongdonsal and will be starting today but you can join anytime. 

Supplies purchased from www.willowfabrics.com.

What do you do with your Orts?

To close the year I like to empty the little jar where I collect all the thread remnants (Orts) from stitching and hand-quilting worked on in 2023. 

It’s such fun to hold it in my hand and see a visual history of the projects intertwined. The threads are stored in a ziplock bag to use later on as filling for small ornaments.

What do you do with your year-of-threads bundle or Orts as they are also called?

Celebrating Love

 

If you're looking for a cross stitch project to celebrate ❤️LOVE❤️ then my 'Treasured Love' design is perfect for Valentine's Day, a Silver Wedding Anniversary Celebration, Wedding Gift or in Memoriam of someone special. It's available for instant download in my shop.

Treasured Love is 96 x 96 stitches (6.9 x 6.9 inches) when stitched on 14 count cream Aida or 6 x 6 inches on 16 count. Thread used is DMC. 

 

An alphabet chart is not included in the chart pack because there is already a large library of cross stitch alphabets available online and in publications.

Spring - Sheep Cross Stitch Chart - NEW!

As it's officially Spring I decided to re-release and update a design of mine that was published in Cross Stitcher magazine 10 years ago.

Enjoy stitching and don't feel bound by my colour selections, you can use whatever floss and aida/evenweave fabric you have available in your stash.

Cross Stitching - Green Goddess

I've been having a little break from crochet and knitting since completing a single bed crochet blanket and a jumper for hubby in November.  I have been enjoying myself working on the Green Goddess designed by Joan Elliott.  I'm almost finished but here is a look back over my progress during the last few months.
