My last post for 2018 features four cross stitch projects I completed this year. Over the years I have sporadically cross stitched, and this year I enjoyed it while watching TV at night. It has been fun!
"Love Coffee" and "Love Tea", Hinzeit patterns purchased at Stoney Creek hang next
to the coffee and tea station my husband made for me in our kitchen. I made them
twice as big by stitching over 2 threads, because I wanted them to be readable!
Lori Holt's "Farm Girl Fall Cross Stitch", purchased at Fat Quarter Shop is still unframed.Recently I discovered Lori Holt's "Vintage Christmas Sampler" cross stitch pattern, which was released on November 28, from
Fat Quarter Shop. I was unable to start it because I wanted to use the same vintage oatmeal 10-count cloth that Lori used, and FQS has been out of stock! So I ordered something similar in a 14-count cloth and will make the adjustments.
I'm looking forward to more cross stitching in 2019!
Loved seeing all your pretty cross stitch projects Linda! Wishing you a wonderful New Year and looking forward to seeing all that you make in 2019! Christine xx
ReplyDeleteSo nice to hear from you Christine! I hope you've had a great holiday season, and Happy New Year to you!
DeleteI love all of your cross stitch projects, Linda! I kept thinking one was my favorite, but then it was the next one, so really, I couldn't choose a favorite. Cross stitch was my first craft, so easy to do when the kids were little, but I haven't done any in a long time. The Christmas Sampler is really tempting!
ReplyDeleteI know, I know, I feel the same way! I think I'm going to start the Christmas Sampler after I finish a crochet scarf to keep my neck warm this winter. :)
DeleteI love seeing other people’s stitching projects. I haven’t stitched in a while, and I’m ready to start up again. I need to decide which project to do first. I enjoyed looking at all of yours. I think the farm girl fall one is my favorite because of the vibrant colors. Sometimes I am very slow at stitching, and I’m thinking that I should start my Christmas stitching right now. Happy new year, Linda!
ReplyDeleteI am very slow at stitching Pattie. I always plan on starting Christmas projects in September, but then life interferes and I end up not getting any Christmas-y stuff done. Like you I should start right now!
