I've been working on several different patterns recently (ok, lots!), and am trying to finish at least a few of them. One that is almost done is the Blue Hollyhock House Sampler. I hope it will be online before November 9th, and available for your local needlework shop to order from their distributors around that time, too!
The finished pattern stitch count is 161 w x 161 h. On 16 ct. aida fabric that is 10.06" w x 10.06" h. Here is a sneak peek into the new design...
Hello, and welcome to the new Happiness Is HeartMade Blog!
I'm so glad to introduce my new cross stitching blog, dedicated to the beautiful art of cross stitching. Whether you are a new stitcher, or have been stitching for many years, I hope you will find interesting and useful information here.
My name is Christy, and I have been designing cross stitch patterns since 2005. I enjoy creating new designs, and already keep a list of 'future design ideas' that would take decades to complete.
In this blog, I am planning to pass along information about new and upcoming pattern releases, pattern sales, shops I visit, interesting information about cross stitching, free patterns, and anything else that seems interesting at the time of writing a post!
Thank you for reading, and I hope to see you again soon!
Wishing everyone a blessed Christmas!
