Winter Days Free Cross Stitch Pattern

Winter Days Free Cross Stitch Pattern PreviewLately the weather seems a bit moody around the United States. It’s supposed to be Spring, but a lot of us are still seeing Winter weather and cold temperatures. I finally saw some sunshine yesterday and today looks pretty good… it might turn out to be a really sunny week here in my part of Virginia.

This pattern is ornament-sized at 70 x 70 stitches, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be an ornament.

Enjoy the pattern and please share with a friend :)

Happy Stitching!

Who’s on Pinterest?

Imagine a room where every wall is covered in Bulletin Boards.

You’ve given each Board has a unique title/name.

Each Board has pictures pinned on it.

You’ve found these pictures on the internet or from other Boards..

One Board is named “I Love Cross Stitch” and you’ve pinned your favorite cross stitch designs on it.

If you are already on Pinterest, you know exactly what I’m talking about…. right Loretta?  ;)

To me Pinterest is a visual candy store.  You can get lost in it, addicted to it, love it or just not get it.

I personally love it and get tons of ideas not only with new cross stitch designs, but garden, home, food .. lots of food ideas!

If you haven’t jumped in yet here’s what it’s all about -

You have to sign up to see all the “pins”.  There are probably millions!   You can sign up with your Facebook or Twitter account or with an email address. [Read more...]

Stitched by Gavin

This very special butterfly was stitched by 9-year-old Gavin as a square for a World of Charity Stitching quilt project.

Gavin has been stitching since he was 7 and I’d say he did a very lovely job of it, plus he has great color choices!

This butterfly is a free cross stitch pattern available right here on Stitching the Night Away. It’s the perfect size for a charity square or a quick gift.
