I have been itching to get back to cross stitch. The problem?!? The totally crappy designs in kits at my local craft stores. I mean seriously! I think most of the designs sold there are from when I originally learned to cross stitch in the late 80s.
The solution? I bought a pattern online and purchased the thread and cloth separately. Cross stitching is cheap! I had no idea how cheap. Fulfilling too! I am well on my way at getting this project finished in no time flat, just TV watching time.
I plan to frame this bad boy and use it as decor in my craft room. The teal/aqua of one of the hearts is a great match to the paint color of my craft room walls.
Details:
Pattern: Pink Typewriter from the Tiny Modernist Etsy Shop
Thread: DMC floss in 760, 3712, 3713, White, Ecru, 445, 907, 3849, 347, 3023, 3799
Cloth: Generic Aida 14
This is SO CUTE! I love cross stitching and I agree with you on the kits. Such a great idea to find modern designs online!
