Many months ago, I pinned this design because I wanted to attempt to make my own. Boy, was I thrilled to see the kit at a local craft show! I purchased this cross stitch kit from chez sucre chez. It came with everything I needed! The pattern and directions were very easy to follow.
Cross stitch is fun because you don't need a lot of skill to complete certain projects. Now, if you have a lot of skill, your projects are going to be fabulous - but if you're like me and just starting out, don't be intimidated. All you need to do is count and stitch.
I love this sweet little design (it's only 5" in diameter). I made one for Charlotte and Esther as well. The kit comes with red floss for the heart, but I switched it up for Est and Char. Char's is a color somewhere between mint and teal and Esther's is neon yellow. Yes, there is neon floss! It's a little tough to work with, but it was worth it!
Check out chez sucre chez, especially Kimberly's portfolio - it's amazing!
You're really good at that. You know your grandma has done a lot of that cross stitch and your mom is great at it too. Me...terrible at anything related to fabric and thread. Just ask my husband how many shirts with a missing button became missing shirts!
