I found this on Instagram and thought others may enjoy it too. The curator of the textile pieces at Mount Vernon tells a little about a set of cushions that Martha Washington stitched and encourages anyone with UFOs to find new ways to finish them to renew their interest.

The link is here:

Hope you enjoy! ! 😄

I found this really neat resource for anyone out there who likes to or . It's from Wee Stitches, and it shows how she makes floss swatches to make things easier when she's designing. The article can be found here: weelittlestitchescrossstitch.b

It also includes a free PDF you can download. Hope you all enjoy! ! 😄

@alexandrasweetie Slip stitch, invisible ladder stitch, feather stitch, may be a few others you can use, depending on what you're doing. You may also want to look at pictures of crazy quilts to get some ideas for decorative joining stitches.

Hope this helps! ! 😄

, both with *and* without embroidery floss! 😄

Found here: threads.net/@borde_mx

A text box that says, "The important thing is to start, even if it's not perfect. Moving forward with mistakes is always better than staying where we are." Surrounding the text box are bobbins of embroidery floss, a bobbin box filled with embroidery floss bobbin s, a bowl of ORTs ("Old Ratty Threads", or the leftover thread after fastening off from stitching), some scattered embroidery needles, a small black pair of scissors, a small crocheted or knitted cactus in a terra cotta pot, and a white tape dispenser with Scotch tape in it.

The rest of my design stages! 😄 I apologize I don't have time to explain more here, but some descriptions in the Alt text.

Hope you enjoy! !

Beginnings of getting my cross stitch pattern into my design software. Most of the image is still in black and white on the graph, but the ladybug, the stems and leaves on the flower in its varying stages of growth, "God" and "Rain" all have their colors finished.This stage has a lot more color, but the "f" in "for isn't finished yet, and neither are "Flowers", "He", "gave" and "me." The preliminary shading on "He" is in place, though.The pattern is finished on the grid but is shown as solid blocks instead of in actual pattern form, and it says, "I asked God for Flowers and He gave me Rain." Flowers in varying stages of growth are to the bottom left, along with a ladybug "friend". The flower fully in bloom and the flower bud are both hot pink, while stems and leaves are shades of forest green. Petals and leaves have raindrops on them. The ladybug beside them is bright pink and red, with a black head, antennae, legs and spots. Just below and to the left of the ladybug is a goldfish colored seed in the ground. The top layer of soil is a darker brown to denote that the ground is soaked with rain, while it is a slightly lighter brown just beneath that to show the ground is dryer. Rain drops are dripping off of the "I", the "f" in "for", the "a" in "and" and the "R" in "Rain." Most of the lettering is in a peachy-gold color, except for "God", "Flowers", "He" and "Rain." "God" and "He" are in shades of forest green. "Flowers" is in bright pink, with a light yellow flower representing the "o". "Rain" is in deep shades of blue.The finished pattern simulated as if it were stitched.

Ever wonder how to measure your cross stitch fabric so you can cut it perfectly *the first time*?

In my new YouTube video, I not only share some tools to do that with, but also give some tips and show you how I cut out fabric for my next project!

Feel free to come check it out! :-D

A YouTube thumbnail of a ladybug logo. There are two black cross-like stars on the right and left of the ladybug. Over the top is written "Love." Beneath the ladybug it reads, "in stitches." The title of the video displayed above the logo is, "How to Measure & Cut Cross Stitch Fabric". At the bottom of the image is "ko-fi.com/stitch26". The background is a pastel blue and purple watercolor.

trees are often some of the most beautiful, personalized things we can find during the holidays. Whether indoors or still live outside, whether abounding in decorations or standing proudly alone in their own natural handsomeness, they remind us in the dead of winter that life goes on & beauty surrounds us no matter what time of year it is!
