Cross Stitch used to be my go to "craft" until my eyesight got a little sketchy. Still, I was very tempted to get out my flosses when I saw this sew along (there's those words again!) on Facebook.

| A crow on a fox--too cute!! This Sew Along is called Joyful World. Find out more HERE.  I used to be all about hand embroidery. but these days most of my embroidery is done on wool. Still, I am saving the cute vintage embroidery designs that Sentimental Stitches will be posting this year. Check it out HERE and then click on Free Patterns, scroll down to Vintage Blooms, and click on Fabric Requirements Blocks One and Two just beneath the setting diagram (there are a lot of ads to navigate through--I hope you get there okay!) |

| There was no way I could resist the new Buttermilk Basin BOM--it's snowmen on letters that will spell out "Let It Snow"--so cute! I decided to live on the edge and use a dark background--I hope it works out! You can find the pattern link HERE. I'll be stitching up my block today and enjoying some Slow Sunday Stitching! Linking with Kathy's Quilts HERE  |
I love the snowmen on letters, oh...if I only had the time.
ReplyDeleteOoooh! You've shared some good links today, thanks! I love Buttermilk Basin -- she does such wonderful work!! That will be a fun one to stitch along with this year! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, man... That Buttermilk Basin BOM looks irresistible, all right. So tempting...
ReplyDeleteI've downloaded and traced the buttermilk basin snowman pattern just hsve to make fabric choices and I'm off and running. Yours looks cute.
ReplyDeleteWho can resist a crow on a fox - indeed! You are enabling again... Lol!
ReplyDeleteTemptation everywhere. I couldn't resist Buttermilk Basin either.
ReplyDeleteI really like your snowman block. I think the dark background is great. I am so busy with my own cross-stitching that I just don't have the time for a sew-along although I would really love to join one someday. Thanks for the links.
ReplyDeleteI love Buttermilk Basin and their wonderful patterns. Your "L" looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI was going to email you to ask what your snowman looked like! LOL!! I really like the dark background....I hope to get mine cute and pinned tomorrow. :) :) THanks for sharing the link!!! I always leave your blog inspired...wishing I had more hours in my day!!
ReplyDeleteThere are just not enough hours in the day to do all these fun projects!!!! Sigh....
ReplyDeleteThank you for all these wonderful links. Sometimes it is easy to miss them and this is a great reminder.
ReplyDeleteHow cute that snowman is ! :) I was thinking about downloading those embroidery designs for the future then forgot on the 15th, which is probably just as well...too long of a list now, lol!
ReplyDeleteSuch fun projects... no wonder you were tempted! The snowman is just too cute! Christine x
ReplyDeleteLove your fabric choices for the BB BOM....the dark background looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou have some fun projects lined up here. Good idea to download the embroidery designs and save them.
ReplyDeleteSo many fun projects! I am also downloading and saving the patterns from Sentimental Stitches. I don't know if I will actually make them yet but they will be available to me when I do.
ReplyDeleteCross-stitch was my craft many years ago, too. That is a cute fox pattern. My granddaughter would love it!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to resist this year's BB SAL, but your block is too cute! You aren't helping my resistance at all! : )
Cross-stitch was my gateway craft. The sew along sampler is adorable and very tempting.
ReplyDeleteAfter struggling so much with my last cross stitch project trying to count the threads, I made the decision that my eye sight was not going to improve enough to be content with doing cross stitch. I gave away what few patterns I still had. But still I get tempted by wonderful prim designs that I see.
