Stitch Heaven

Last weekend I went to a store called Needlepoints in Garden Grove to pick up some fabric for my latest designs. I had heard so many good things through Yelp, and had so many unsuccessful shopping trips to my usual chain supply stores that I was excited even before I walked through the door. 

But wow, was I blown away when I walked inside. This place was a cross stitch heaven! Elaborate hand-painted stocking patterns priced in the hundreds, rows and rows of kits from all over the country and fabric and thread in any color you could imagine. It was incredibly inspiring! I am almost complete with my first "seasonal" pattern, so be on the lookout in the next week on my Etsy store. :)

Inspiration: Home Is Where The Heart Is


Just got back from seeing my family-in-law in Alabama. :) Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend! This is the song we played as we walked down the aisle at our wedding in Springville. See the finished pattern here: Home Is Where The Heart Is
