Another card for the very same friend, for her birthday Pattern from an X-stitch magazine, a set of animal birthday cards. DMC threads used again.

Current Mood: Happy

The card I sewed for my friend when her daughter, Melody was born. Bought the kit from our tiny local craft shop, Bizy Fingers, and added the notes myself (my own design too, *pride*).

The birthday card I made for my sweetie’s mum. Not as nice as the teatowel I made for my mum but still pretty.

Pattern from Cross Stitch Flowers, one of many very pretty ones

My latest favourite site!

Enter your dimensions, count, stitching, border and framing allowance and not only will it tell you how much fabric you need but show you a preview too!

I love it!  <3 Check it out at Scarlet Quince (a slightly dubious sounding name though..). They also advertise free patterns, though I haven’t had a chance to check them out yet. What’s also neat is floss coverage examples and finishing and cleaning tips.

Funky, monkeys!

A small crotchet in cross stitch. No preview yet.

Another music note for your stitching pleasure. See my previous post to see what it looks like when stitched.

A pattern for a musical note in backstitch. Free for personal use

Looks best used on 16-count or 18-count aida. Use one strand for a delicate look, two for a well defined note.

For an idea of what it looks like in the flesh..fabric, check out my card.
