Cross Stitch Supply
Continuing the theme of my cross stitch supply, I will show you a wonderful Heritage Crafts kit named “Little Sew and Sew!” by Peter Underhill. The kit consists of 14 count cream Zweigart fabric, two charts with and without backstitch and instruction, John James needle, and DMC stranded cotton. Approximately design size is 6,5″ x 7,5″ or 18 x 19,5 cm. I got this kit as a gift from my daughter, and I love looking at it. Why don’t I cross-stitch it? I think I like to put off the pleasure for later, imagining how beautiful the already embroidered picture will look. I agree that it sounds weird, but I have a few kits that I like to bring out and look at them, go through the threads, smooth out the fabric, wonder if I should replace Aida with evenweave and then put it back. That’s just how I am.

Orange Poppy Garland
Yesterday a customer asked me if I could crochet orange poppies garland. Of course, I could. However, I decided to check what colours poppies can be. I was shocked: in nature, poppies can be white (Islandic poppies), yellow, orange, red, and purple. I think it’s worth crocheting the garland in each colour so my customer could choose the bunting by their preferences and home decor.
New Collar
I found out from my competitors that they often take photos of crochet collars on dressed mannequins. I decided to try too. It turned out that I hardly have any dresses because I wear jeans all the time. I guess it was time to do some shopping. But for now, my mannequin is dressed, and a new lace collar has its photos.
Quaker Ball
One more part of the Quaker Ball Sal by Durene Jones pattern – a bird. As always – before backstitch and after it.
Quaker Ball
Lakesideneedlecraft Quaker Ball Sal bu Durene Jones pattern in progress: beautiful batterfly with flowers.
As you can see, I wrap a hoop so that it does not slip and I can achieve the right tension of evenweave. I usually wrap it with a simple bandage, but you can do it with any thin fabric you like.
New Cross Stitch Pattern
New Sedge Warbler cross stitch pattern from our little summer birds series. The sedge warbler is a small, quite plump, warbler with a striking broad creamy stripe above its eye and greyish brown legs. It is a summer visitor, and winters in Africa, south of the Sahara Desert.
