Fabric, Moving the Q-Snap, and Fall Beverages

Phone Stand Pillow

In my last post, I mentioned making a phone stand pillow. My first step was deciding which fabric to use. After going on an expedition through the Castle's fabric room, I've decided on these prints:

I want to make more than one phone stand. One for when I'm reading, stitching, watching TV, etc. While I probably (famous last words, haha) won't use all of these fabrics, I still have to decide who stays and who goes. More on that in my next post, so stay tuned.

WIP Update

Here's where I got to since last time:

Medieval Menagerie by Fox and Rabbit Designs

Behold! A finished phoenix! I'm very fond of this phoenix. Don't those feathers look magnificent? As an added bonus for finishing this first dazzling bird, I can move my Q-Snap, which is always a treat. It gives one such a great sense of accomplishment. As for my next steps, I'll start stitching the other phoenix and the remaining motifs in this band before I begin stitching the egg in Kreinik. That way it's like the cherry on top, saving the best for last.

Charts for Fall

Fall / Autumn is just around the corner, and if you're a seasonal stitcher, I've got some charts you might like. First up:

Pumpkin Spice Freebie by EmnEllie

This is one of the charts from my first ebook. It's a small, quick stitch, with plenty of Fall motifs, and the star of the show is a fan-favorite beverage of the season. This ebook has a bunch of other beverage charts, such as Peppermint Mocha and Hot Chocolate, so you're all set for Winter too. The ebook is available for free, and you can get it here.

Next up is this diminutive triptych:

Mini Autumn Triptych by EmnEllie

Another quick stitch, this one has the added interesting feature of being stitched with variegated floss from DMC. Variegated floss is super fun to stitch with, but of course, you could swap it out with whatever floss colors you prefer. This chart is available in my shop at this link here.

Happy stitching and see you next time!
