Extra Solos This Weekend!

admin — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 19:57:27 +0000

I’ve been busy working on an extra batch of Solos this weekend. I’m not 100% sure what time they will be ready, but it will probably be late this evening (Saturday). Maybe I’ll list them very late for stitchers out of the US. Any thoughts? Anyone itching for Solos?

This batch is all 13″x18″ size and includes 14ct Aida, some 28 and 32ct lugana opal, 32ct belfast opal, and 36ct linen.

Most of the colors are bright/deep colors – purples/blues, deep pinks/corals, etc.

Congratulations to 2009 Showcase Winners!

admin — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 19:48:45 +0000

Wow! Every year the Showcase gets better and better! This year we had nearly 500 entries.

Our panel of over 30 judges did a fantastic job. I’m glad that I didn’t have to pick! I know that one day, I would see a project and think “Oh, that’s my favorite”, but then another day, I would see another one that was my “favorite”.

Each and every single project that’s entered represents a true work of art. Whether small, medium, or large, each project has a stitcher behind it. From carefully picking a complimentary fabric/pattern combination to crossing each “X”, they are all winners!

For the 2009 competition, our judges have selected the following winners:

Small Category:

1st place

Design Title: Voice of the Shepherd

Designer: Told in a Garden

The Flying Cloud

Who doesn’t like free cross stitch patterns, right?

Visit www.XstitchPatterns.com to download “The Flying Cloud” free for one week only.

Valid July 17-23 only.

Also, you’ll see that the other patterns in that category are 1/2 price at the same time.

This pattern is rather large, with a stitch count of 366×258 (which means a finished size of 27″x19″ on 14 or 28 count fabric). The detail in this pattern is stunning, which you can see by the many different shades of blue in the water! Although this design is large, it is made up of only full cross stitches, so no fractionals or backstitching.

Visit www.xstitchpatterns.com to get this free pattern.

And here’s another beautiful cross stitch pattern for free:

Katie's Tiger

Katie’s Tiger

Visit www.freexstitchpatterns.com to download and print your copy of this stunning design, and learn a little about the artist behind the artwork.

The stitch count for this design is 167 x 189, which stitches out to 12″ x 13 1/2″. There are only full cross stitches in this design also.

We hope you enjoy these two free cross stitch patterns.
