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.

Anyway, that’s what led me to look for hot air balloon designs this morning.

This is Balloon Glow, [Read more...]

Marshmallow Bunnies Free Cross Stitch Pattern

Everyone loves bunnies made of marshmallow fluff, right? Actually, marshmallows are not my favorite food. I’ll eat all the Cadbury Mini Eggs and you can keep the Peeps, unless of course they’re fluffy stitched bunnies like the ones I saw on Pinterest today…
