Cross Stitching Is The New Trend!

If you hear the words cross-stitching, you may be envisioning something old-fashioned and sweet but let me tell you, cross-stitching is the new trend for artists!

If you have never tried your hand at cross-stitching, this book Stitch-It Kit is fantastic! It goes step by step introducing the tools you will be using and the best part is that there is so much inspiration including: a baby onesie with a demure poodle, ties displaying a dancing hula girl and a vintage guitar, a baby's bib decorated with a 1940s blue bird and more!

Jenny Hart who is the author behind this book has inspired a TON of crafters to take up embroidery. She founded Sublime Stitching in 2001, the first company to bring cross-stitching to a whole new level introducing alternative patterns and kits.

Try your hand at FREE cross stitch patterns to get you started once you start dabbling into the whole cross-stitch world. It is so much fun. I dare you to put your cross-stitch down!

    This is a great resource for cross-stitch patterns. I tried it once but lost interest and my daughter ended up finishing it. I have done tapestry years ago, and there isn't much difference. Maybe when I get older I will do it again. Great lens. *SquidAngel Blessed*
