The Joy of Cross Stitching

Hi! Are you ready to move on spring or are you still enjoying stay at home in coziness?

February for me has been the month of coziness for sure, and I’m not still prepared to spring, also because it’s still windy and cold outside, I know that March will open up things a bit, but for now I can enjoy my home a little more.

What’s better than a cup of coffee and a lot of stitching? I enjoyed cross stitching so much this month. I release a new pattern yesterday and can’t wait to know what you think about it.

Initially this was an improvised design I made on my cross stitch notebook, then I stitched a previous one on a old blue 35ct linen, discovering I can’t see through dark fabric anymore, and tag it as a big fail/disaster design and stitching. I put a photo on my Instagram and then put it away for about a week.

But you know, when an inspiration calls, and that was a soulful one, and urge to be spoken, I listen and I adjust and redesigned the chart. When I came to choose a beautiful piece of 28ct Cashel linen in the color Vintage Country Mocha, selected a new colour palette (DMC and Classic Colorworks), that immediately it was a joy to stitch.

Feed All the Birds has been inspired from two main feeling:
1) We are kind humans that care for each other, that take care of family and friends and every other "bird" in our community.
2) I got also inspiration from an old lady neighbour that feed birds each day in our courtyards, even those big seagull, feeding them directly on their beaks.

Sooo that’s all for the moment friends, I’m going to have a little break for a minor surgery in the next days, so let’s talk to you in March, with many other lovely design and stitch!

Stay happy!
