All In For Cross Stitch




I posted on FB about floss drops
this is what I use
search on YouTube for specifics and how-to
a special tool to wrap your DMC floss around
then cut



Put on the floss drops
an easy way to keep control of the floss you are using



Did I mention I was going to hook today
Wrong!


 This chart is on it's way to me
just looking at it makes me happy

*****

To answer a question...
I won't be returning to my local needlework shop 
because I didn't feel comfortable there

As for charting my designs for x stitch.
No.
Hell no.
Feel free to use my freebies and booklet designs
you've purchased to do some 
uncounted cross stitch
I've done a lot of that
for myself

I'm not interested in making another job for myself
I'll design and hook rugs
sell the patterns on linen
that's about it

I do need to do a big destash
of some wool
overdyed that are too bright, textures I don't like

Cross stitch is for me 
I used to do a lot of it
samplers I've made up as I went along
mostly schoolgirl type with 
alphabets, numbers and a few motifs
a bunch of uncounted
I don't share many of those
maybe when I finally finish them

*****

Wishing your piece of the world
brings you joy.

  1. LOL...well, guess that answers my question. 🤣 Looks and sounds as though you are as proficient with your stitching as you are/were with you hooking. Holy smokes. I don't do a lot on IG but will have to look you up. ~Robin~

  3. The pandemic got me back to cross stitching after decades of absence. So now I don’t hook. I am obsessed with the cross stitching.
