I've been trying to decide if I have the time this year to make more of these quilted ornaments. They're pretty quick to make, but I just don't have my
stitchy bug lately so it may be a next year thing.
I'd love to see them if you make some! Here's the tutorial:

It's WIP day! Looks like we've got another biscornu coming up. ;) It'll be available on Patreon Saturday, but here's a sneak peek in the meantime.
Also my stitching buddy, Midna. Though she's still grumpy about the new cat we brought home a few days ago.

This month's article is all about making custom cording out of embroidery thread!
While plain ol' stranded cotton will work, I also tried some metallic, perlé cotton, and even some silk cording!
Learn how I made these and maybe try and make your own!

I am indeed having a sale this week, just like everyone else. I only do sales twice a year, so now's your chance if you want to stock up on patterns or just want to offset the international shipping on my stickers.🤣 Sale starts tomorrow!
Otherwise next sale is in May for my birthday.

The back of my stocking before I backed it with felt!
I actually have a video coming out tomorrow walking through how I turned this into a stocking if you're curious.
That should be up on YouTube tomorrow afternoon!
Y'know if you have nothing else to do on Black Friday. (timing could be better, lol)

Here it is! The finished little Zelda stocking. I really wanted to do another 'ugly christmas sweater' style design like the D&D one I have. But that takes sooo long to stitch. So why not make it small?
Anyway, this pattern is up on Patreon now if you'd like to make one.

I posted last month about this hat I was knitting. And well, I did eventually finish it! After having to frog a few times. 😂
Tis my first brioche knit, so with all the frogging it took about 45 hours! yeesh. I guess that's where my stitchy bug has been -- knitting instead!

I've already shown you most of the pattern, but here's a look at the super colorful palette I've been working with!
Nearly a full rainbow -- we're just missing some purple. 🤔
Do you still consider this a rainbow?

I think I prefer the sky being stitched, but the stormy grey fabric makes a great sky as well. Which do you prefer?

I made these fobs in January and kept waiting to make some more so I could release them all at once. And then... I just have had zero time all year to make more.
So at this point I've admitted to myself I'm not going to get to it anytime soon and put them on my Etsy. 🤣

Different kind of WIP this monday. It kinda gives away most of the pattern. But it was just too cute to not share. 😘
Midna loves curling up next to me while I stitch! It's a great motivator!
Do you have a stitchy helper?

If you were curious what the back of my book tracker looks like. 😂
It's mostly neat, just those jumps for the star ratings. Very fun and chaotic though!
Using the cover colors from the books I read made this tracker so colorful!

This took FOREVERRRRRR. Or y'know, something like 150 hours to stitch. I started back in Feb and have been working it in the background while stitching all the other designs I've released this year. 😅
Something I've been wanting to do for a whiiile. It's a book tracker! But with quilt squares!

When do you put your tree up? Do you decorate it with handmade ornaments? Even these small designs take deceptively long to make, and getting an early start is not a bad idea!
So here's a reminder that I have tutorials for a number of different styles of ornaments!

Super colorful pattern coming up this week. But it's a customizable pattern -- use as many or as little colors as you want. 👀
How does that work? You'll see. 😉

It's been a very bookish year for me. I've somehow managed to read over 200 books!
Of course by read I do mean listening to audiobooks on 2x while stitching. Some of it while chores, but mostly stitching. So I've done a heck of a lot of stitching so far this year. 👀
Gonna make for a fun recap!

This month's freebie! I've seen these bell shapes around and really wanted to see what it was like.
So I designed a simple little panel design and tried to make it look like iced gingerbread and just went with it. And I think it turned out pretty cute despite the lack of
planning. 😂

I started this project in like, February after spending most of January brainstorming for it. So

Can't wait to show you this completed project next week despite absolutely no one asking for this lol.

I know it's not even November, but if you want to stitch this holiday band sampler for the holidays this year, it's probably best to start soon. 😂 Took me like 35 hours, at any rate.
I'd like to do another nerdy band sampler like this one day. But what theme? 🤔

I did forget how annoying french knots can be though. Next time? Beads. 😂

The no-glue Flatfold Tutorial should be up on YouTube now! Assuming I got my timezones right 😅
The video quality is meh, but the info is all there and hopefully still useful! Maybe I'll refilm it next time I make one. But I'm not going to unmake this one just for that, sooo. 🤣 youtu.be/LZQyXwDifD8
