Cross stitch Chart – One of Those Days

July 9, 2013 by Connie Barwick

il_570xN.446086106_1ji3I must admit that sometimes I am taken back a little by the trend for stitching foul words in our favorite medium. Seeing the F-word done up in tiny stitches may make me giggle a litte, but it can be off-putting too. That’s why I like this design so much – it says so much without being offensive. The cartoon style cursing works better for me most days. This design was stitched up by KaLeLee Creations of Etsy and is available in her shop. Find out more. Speaking of her shop, it is not filled with extensive offerings, but there are some really cute things, so you should definitely go check it out today! Visit KaLeLee Creations.

Designer Spotlight: Curious Carrie Designs

If you like seasonal samplers and cross stitch patterns with a primitive twist, you’ll enjoy the collection from Curious Carrie Designs.

You’ll find alphabet designs, biscornu, patriotic projects and more. The summer category is the largest on the storefront, with Americana and floral designs. There are also categories for the other seasons and more general designs.

One of my favorites is this pretty sunflower cross stitch pattern, which is shown styled as a biscornu but it wouldn’t have to be. The pattern features sunflowers and bees and a little beehive. It uses 12 colors of floss and each side of the pattern is 51 by 51 stitches, which comes out to 3.64 inches or 9.2 cm square.

I love the fabric she used for the sample, which she actually dyed purple herself, but it would also be pretty on a purchased light blue or other color if you don’t want to dye your own.

There’s also a whole set of themed biscornu with a four letter word on one side (crow, home, love and snow, to name a few) along with a seasonal pattern on the other side.

The shop has a rather small selection at around 90 patterns as of this writing, but it’s a nice collection of traditional looking designs heavy on samplers and biscornu designs, so if those are things you like you’ll want to be sure to check it out. Visit Curious Carrie Designs on Etsy to see all her pretty designs.

Are you a designer or do you have a favorite cross stitch designer who hasn’t made it into the spotlight yet? (You can see all the featured designers in the craft businesses category on the page.)
