New Releases

Last week I shared my new cross stitch designs on my Flosstube Channel. I am so excited to present to you these five original designs.

Ezmerelda’s Blackbirds

Ezmerelda is such a sweet witch. I wanted to create a design with her playing with her pets. In this pattern, Ezmerelda is taking her blackbirds out of their cage for an evening of flight.

Stitch Count: 62 x 70

Fabric: 32 count, Cyprus by Fiber on a Whim

Finished Size: 3 7/8 x 4 3/8 inches

2 strands of floss over 2 linen threads

Floss Used: Weeks Dye Works in Chia, Havana, Clockwork, Oscar, Kudzu, Peach, Gunmetal and Basil

The Gentle Art: Brandy, Wheat Fields and Pumpkin Patch

Classic Colorworks: Just Rust and Fallen Leaves

Wooden Board – Tyler Board from stitch, etc.

Autumn Sampler

This little sampler was a joy to stitch! I wanted to create a design that would be perfect for the entire season. I love how the blues and golds compliment each other in this design.

Stitch Count: 80 x 76

Fabric: 32 count, Phillip by Grace Notes Fabric

Finished Size: 5 x 4 3/4

2 strands of floss over 2 linen threads

Sweet Blessings

This sweet and elegant design was inspired by my daughter. I just love the simplicity of the flowers and the loosely tied bow. This piece can be personalized by simply using your favorite floss color.

Steampunk Percival

This dapper crow will wrap up all the new releases for this season. Meet Percival! He is Penelope’s date for the All Hallow’s Eve Gala. Percival is wearing true Steampunk fashion with his “cuff links”, monocal and stylish hat.

Placing an Order

I have often said on my Flosstube that I am a firm believer in supporting needlework shops. If you would like to order any of these new designs, please contact any needlework shop (online and brick and mortar) and ask them to order from me. This is also a wonderful opportunity for you to have them kit up your project! I hope you enjoy stitching all of these designs.

Happy Stitching,

Annie

It is nice to meet you!

I’m Annie, and I love all things cross stitch and quilting. I enjoy helping others finish their cross stitch pieces and learn to quilt.  My philosophy is that a finished project is better than a perfect project. Join me as I share my not so perfect finishes with you.  Welcome!
