Free Pattern Friday – Origami Crane
I've been slowly moving along with my 1000 crane quilt. I've been trying to dedicate a bit of time every day to stitching them, I really keep to be finishing them at a more steady rate if I have any hope of finishing them by my 2018 goal. I've gotten a huge amount of interest and support for my project on Instgram and I've had multiple requests for the pattern. I've emailed it to a few people but I figured I would post it here for anyone who wants a copy.

Free Pattern Friday – Bunny

I made this bunny hoop for a friend's daughter awhile back. The actual hoop is 6", but the bunny is only about 2.5" tall so it stitches up really quickly. (Please note: Affiliate links are indicated by an asterisk*) I used Water Soluble Cross Stitch Canvas* when I stitched this up. Water soluble canvas is by far one of my favorite cross stitch tools.

Free Pattern Friday – Coffee Love
I am relatively new to the coffee drinking scene. Somehow I managed to survive the first three years of Evie's life without coffee. But now things are different, it didn't take long for me to become a "don't talk to me before I've had my coffee" person. My Tea Love cross stitch pattern is consistently my most popular, so I figured I would expand the caffeine love to coffee. When stitched on 14 ct Aida the final piece is about 5.5" so it should fit into a 6" hoop. Download the PDF here – Coffee Love Cross Stitch Pattern There are more free patterns to ... Read More
