Cross Stitch
Here’s another one of the blocks that we originally did for a Love Quilts project. This one is hope …. again, the colors used in the chart are just a suggestion and you can use any colors that you’d like for your own project.
Enjoy the pattern and please share with a friend 🙂

Jan shared this with us on the Facebook wall this week and I just couldn’t wait to add it to the gallery. A group of stitchers put this quilt together for the Love Quilts UK program and it’s just beautiful.
I love seeing the Brushstroke Butterfly pattern used for charity projects like this 🙂 [Read more…]
I love it when I’m browsing around the needlework community online and I stumble across a Stitching the Night Away design used somewhere. It really makes me day a thousand times brighter, especially when I see them used in charity projects like Cole’s Quilts and Love Quilts!
LindaZ posted these on Photobucket and the 123stitch message board this week and they are amazing! Beautiful stitching and quilt finishing by everyone involved!
In this one you’ll spy two Brushstroke Butterfly squares….
And in this one you’ll spy the Celtic Dream Knotwork block, which was designed with charity quilt projects in mind….
Thank you Linda for sharing those pictures and for participating in projects like this!
I love it <3
I am working on charting a few additional words to use with the celtic knotwork border, so if there’s a request anyone has for those please let me know. So far believe, trust, and inspire have been requested and I’ll gladly chart out others. [Read more…]
This is an older project that folks ask me about pretty often. I recently made the Celtic Dream block available as a free cross stitch pattern and you can download that here.
I designed these four blocks as part of a Love Quilts project that a group of us here stitched together.
==> Download the Dream block and stitch it for your favorite charity stitched quilt group.
Happy Stitching!
This design was created as part of a charity project several stitchers at Stitching the Night Away did collaboratively for Love Quilts along with a few other free Celtic cross stitch designs from around the web and a few other inspirational words that I charted out.

If you stitch this piece I would love to see your finished work. You can leave a comment here, send me an email, or share your photos on our Facebook community page!
If you’re not familiar with it, Love Quilts is a cross stitch group that creates cross stitched quilts for children with life threatening or lifelong illnesses.
You can follow the design as charted or you can choose your own colors, as Becka did in the stitched example for the Love Quilts project. Design stitch count is 120×122 and was sized to fit within the guidelines of a 9×9 block just right so that there wasn’t a lot of white space around the design.
Happy Stitching!
Kind Regards,
We chose a theme and we all stitched at the same time and I sent our entire group of blocks in together so they could be finished into a quilt. This is the finished quilt with all of our group’s stitched quilt blocks…. We’re actually hoping to do this again this year!
