Small alphabet using whole stitches and half stitches

Small alphabet using whole stitches and half stitches


Hello everyone,

Here is a cross stitched alphabet made of big bold letters, theres no thread colour suggestion as this can be sewn in any colour that will match the design its being paired with. 
This design would be nice on big bold signs, maybe a nice snarky comment design? 

Much love and happy stitching

Hello everyone,

A friend mentioned that there was not many cross stitch designs of modern trains. Of course as any seasoned cross stitcher would know there are loads of designs of steam trains (or even Thomas the Tank Engine characters) they make some lovely stitches to sew with all the detail and the beauty of steam. However there are many kids who would associate trains with the modern sleek high speed trains we see today.

So this one is for all the train enthusiasts who want something a little more modern for their stitching or decoration.

Much love and happy stitching

Hello everyone,

Its been a while hasn't it? I have been working super long shifts at work so have not been able to devote as much time to cross stitch design as I used to. So heres a cute little unicorn design which should be fun for anyone to sew as it does not have too many colours and only a few half stitches.

Much love and happy stitching :)
