I know, I know… I am a quilter and not cross stitcher. But there is something perfect about these tiny little masterpieces that stretch a completely different side of my design and stitch brain. So in an effort to keep learning new things and for keeping things interesting, I am going to try to make sure we have a few seasonal cross stitch patterns to offer at Fig Tree. Each design will be inspired either directly or indirectly by my quilt designs… it feels like we are stitching tiny litt...| Fresh Figs
Maker Dana Jones, of Selah Creative Company, is our guest this week. Dana and her laser cutter/engraver are a rather creative duo that produces a wide variety of items designed to enhance your hobbies. For needleworkers, those products are her animal thread bobbins. In addition to those bobbins, Dana has created a very useful travel bobbin and a unique sampler you stitch on wood. Our conversation also touches on Dana’s experience with counterfeiters (she won), and her Selah Retreats, which ...| Fiber Talk
We’ve located Wednesday so it’s time to chat. This week Beth asked the question: If you could only keep 10 projects what would they be? That simple question triggered a lot of stash searching and two lists that are really not all of the projects we would keep. Also, Gary cheated on his list. But Beth made a second list, so basically, we ignored the 10-project limitation. We also have a drawing this week for one of two Avlea Folk Fabric bookmark kits. Be sure to enter by midnight Eastern, ...| Fiber Talk
August was a decently good month for craft variety! I’ve been trying to continue to do more crafts than just knitting. While I didn’t do as good on that front as in some months (no sewing in August, for example) I did still combine knitting, spinning, and cross stitch for some nice variety. I’m hoping… Continue reading WIP Wrap-up for August 2025→| BookWyrm Knits

The “W” day has arrived and Cindy and Gary gathered to talk about Iowa State Fair results (lots of ribbons) and becoming a Fiber Talk Patreon subscriber. We also discuss analyzing a design and determining whether to stitch all of it or to modify it to make it the design you want. Then we move on to the process of selecting threads/colors for a project and learn that, basically, Gary needs to sit down and organize his threads so he can assemble the needed colors without spending hours hunt...| Fiber Talk

After putting together my roundup of 3D printed tools for crochet (which you all seemed to really enjoy), I figured, why stop there? I spend a good chunk of my time stitching (no regrets), so it only made sense to look into 3D printed tools for embroidery and cross stitch; because if crochet gets all […] The post Top 10 3D Printed Tools for Embroidery And Cross Stitch appeared first on Atelier Delilah.| Atelier Delilah

I was recently called to be the Primary Chorister in my ward*. I was super sad to leave Young Women, because I truly had such love in my heart for those good kids! But I love those cute little Primary guys too -- even the naughty boys in back who think they're too cool to sing. They're not too cool when I threaten them with solos! (hee hee hee -- I might be just a little bit ornery about that.)| Natalie Ever After
My favourite type of cross stitch patterns are antique and folk art samplers. It is for me never boring to look at a sampler with all the little different motifs. For those among us that find it interesting too, here … Continue reading →| Cosmic Handmade

I didn't plan to make a cross stitch chart for General Conference this Spring, but I just couldn't get this idea out of my head! It's just perfect to work on while you listen to General Conference, to finish up before April 17th when it's Easter. | Natalie Ever After
At October General Conference, I always like to do a little project -- and this year is no different! One thing I like to do is make up a little pattern for the new Youth Theme. There are several on this blog -- you can download any and all!| Natalie Ever After
Well, everyone is getting ready for General Conference -- and for a lot of us, that means getting a little project ready!| Natalie Ever After
When I came up with my Love at Home quilt (see THIS post!), I actually came up with the cross stitch chart first! Since I like the orientation of my quilts to be vertical, I knew I didn't want to do it this way; but I absolutely LOVE orienting my cross stitch patterns horizontally, and I knew it would be such a pretty and fun project for General Conference!| Natalie Ever After
Wow, I haven't done one of these in a LONG time! But I've been working hard on some more cross stitch charts, and I think you'll really like them. Since I haven't done any blogging for a while, I have the 2019 and 2020 charts below. Each chart is JUST a chart -- I have not assigned specific DMC colors, because I think that really depends on what color of cloth you're using (aida and linen come in many colors!). Please feel free to change up the colors however you want -- that's half the fun!| Natalie Ever After
Hey everyone -- long time no blog! I'm pretty excited about the coming year, and I've got a REALLY great plan in place to be successful at this blogging business (which isn't a business at all for me -- I'm not monetized!).| Natalie Ever After
I just love Bonnie & Camille fabric by Moda! Those ladies are some that I truly look up to -- I just love their style and hope to be able to publish patterns myself soon! (I'm in the process of starting a little company, updates will come soon!)| Natalie Ever After
About a year ago, I got a cheap little seasonal project to do at night while I watch TV with Joel. I got the XS pattern by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery (check out their version -- it's super different colors!), but I just used whatever I had on hand, and didn't document what I used. When I finished it I knew I wanted to put it in this 8x8 frame, but Valentine's Day was over, so I wasn't really motivated to finish it up right then. I knew I'd remember and pull it out during the next Valent...| Natalie Ever After

Day 88/100. I remember my mother sewing cross stitch patterns. The evenweave fabric with its neat grid of dots stretched taut into wooden hoops or frames. The neat rows of X’s in different colored threads that would turn into shapes. I think my mother sewed patterns that were houses or flowers or small landscapes. I think there were also Precious Moments-type children characters. Or maybe I think that because even now in our bedrooms back home, there is a blue framed cross stitch of a boy t...| Ailian Gan | >140
