CHRISTMAS PIAZZA CROSS STITCH INFO

Created in collaboration with Susan from The Felted Pear, these brand new CROSS STITCH patterns are such a fun way to bring a bit of cross stitch into your life without needing a ton of skill.

I promise you this is true… since I am a brand new cross stitcher! So it’s definitely one of those “if I can do it, you can do it” kinds of things. I found that it was the perfect way to unwind after a full day of work… a project that can be done on the couch with the tv on in the background.

And finishing them into these adorable little baggies is just the icing on the cake if you ask me. They are absolutely perfect for gift giving or for a jewelry or notions bag for yourself.
