Free Juneteenth PDF, new Scissors & Multi-Color Cat NMs!
Plus an intro to Edwin Z. Canary, stitcher of miniatures
Edwin Z. Canary: Guest Contributor & Miniature Stitcher
I’m delighted to introduce you to Edwin—a longtime Subversive Cross Stitcher who has constantly amazed me with his work, especially his super miniature versions of both his own and our designs on 25-count Lugano fabric! Like the Miniature Middle Finger kit in our shop shown above (Chapstick not included!) Meet him on the blog and see more of his amazing work.
PLUS he lives in New Zealand!! AND he's a poet! And a really nice guy with superb wit. Hopefully, he’ll be coming up with more miniatures for you soon!
Kitties Make the Best Stitching Assistants!
By popular demand, we now have the Stitching Assistant needle minder in FOUR colors: white, black, ginger and grey! They’re super helpful PLUS they won’t shed on your work in progress.
Groovy Purple Scissors with Tassel
Fancy details on the handles make these iridescent scissors feminine and also groovy. These embroidery scissors are 4.92" long and have high-quality, stainless steel blades and nice sharp points. Handy for stitching and they also make a nice gift. Purple tassel included!
Here’s a free PDF to celebrate Juneteenth. We’ve come a long way but we’ve still got so far to go. This is a good piece to stitch while reflecting on what part you can play in the fight for justice. I used three different kinds of variegated floss, you could also add a border. I left it as is to make a strong statement with our largest font.
Three of My Personal Favorite Kits
What The Actual Fuck: I love the grayscale and I painted the frame to match!
Practice Mindlessness: I came up with this one because I realized I was meditating in the morning and drinking at night. Net zero!
Punk Is Not Dead: Kit comes with a teeny-tiny safety pin! Cracks me up.
That’s it for this week. I leave you with my top three faves of what I’ve seen online lately:
Friday Dance Party: a real throwback to the age of groove. Get up!
Head over Heels fun: I can’t say how many times I’ve watched this.
Exactly why I can’t work in an office. With people. Meetings!
