EmnEllie Cross Stitch Blog

 It's been a while since I posted a free cross stitch chart, so here you go: Isn't it pretty? I designed this one a while ago, but never got around to posting it. I've noticed a lot of quilters have been getting in to cross stitch lately. Welcome to the cross stitch world! Maybe this chart will be stitched by quilters who like cross stitch, and cross stitchers who like quilting.  Some details about this chart: stitch count is 70w x 70h If you stitch it on 18 count aida, the dimensions will be approximately 3-3/4 inches (9.9cm) wide by 3-3/4 inches (9.9cm) high.  It uses 3 colors, all in DMC: Blanc, 996, 801 Link to the free PDF is here  Leave a comment below with your progress pics and any color changes you make!  Happy Stitching!

Spring is definitely in the air at my cottage. Many of the trees in my neighborhood have their first blush of green after a winter of being dry, gray and drab. In the cottage garden, the blueberries have started to bloom, hopefully a sign that this year we will have a good harvest for various blueberry desserts. Speaking of desserts, I changed the lock screen wallpaper of my tablet recently. It has this option of giving you a different picture every time you open the screen. There were different themes, but I chose "desserts." Not only is the food delicious looking, but it's also quite photogenic! It's such a joy to see such pretty pictures. It has been a good long while since I've posted a progress picture for Russian Hunting. My excuse for not posting was a good one though, as I was trying to meet the deadline for my Irish House Sampler (to read about that adventure and get a coupon code for that chart click on this link here ). But even though there haven't...

  Long time no see! Sorry it's been so long! I was giving all of my attention to the Irish House Sampler. My deadline was St. Patrick's Day- and I just met that deadline! Yay! Here is the finished sampler: That backstitch was so fun! To be honest, I didn't think I was going to make it. But there it is!  This chart is available in my shop now. The link is here.
