New Collaboration with Fred: Bibs for the Bebes!
Announcing our latest collaboration with Fred! This one took a little while to, uh…gestate? But it’s finally here, after at least nine months of developmental transformation. Fred always gets the quality juuuuust right before they deliver a new product. These (if I do say so myself) clever cross-stitched bandana bibs are velvety-soft, absorbent cotton with terry cloth backing, and adjustable snaps. Perfect for teething tykes or just humiliating your dog (see below). Set of TWO bibs and, YES, they are ACTUALLY stitched!
Glitter is WHAT?
Not my phrase, not my lice! Just add glitter (I KNOW you’ve got some!) This was actually in the signature line of an email I received a while back and, much like Martha Stewart super-fine glitter, it’s been lodged in my mind ever since.
You Are Beautiful upcoming exhibit
You’ve probably seen this sticker in your packages from us. It's a simple message to share with the world and spread a little kindness, through various art forms and also their iconic stickers--stuck where you least expect them. The pattern above is free—to match their sticker, I actually painted the material with silver spray paint! The pattern instructions include tips in case you want to do the same. And be sure to check out their website. I’ll have some pieces in their upcoming Kind Words II exhibit. If you’re in Chicago, go take photos for me—November 4th!
Get A Jump On The Holidays (& please show your work!)
I looooooove when you show me what you’re working on. I save all of them, though I may not remember to post every favorite because life gets away from me. Different fabrics, frames, sock-footed scenery, I love it all! If you tag your work @subversivecrossstitch on Instagram, I won’t miss it. Or you can email me (link at bottom of page)—whatever is easiest. I think it’ll be an ongoing feature in these newsletters. Shown here: It’s Beginning to Look Like and Festive as Fuck.
Don’t Forget Holiday Matchboxes
If you’re getting a jump on the holidays, remember: there’s a matchbox for that!
A Few Links For Your Procrastination Pleasure
And, last but certainly not least…
What about TIGER’S FEeeEeeEELINGSS??? (don’t ask, you’ll be here all day!)
THANKS as always for subscribing to our newsletter—I finally stopped calling it an “E-newsletter” because I’m E-VOLVING. HA!
Free set of four glow-in-the-dark patterns for paid subscribers below and don’t forget DMC glow-in-the-dark floss! Now $1.00 OFF! I wonder if you could cover yourself with that floss—like spider webs, hmmm. Let me know if you try it. Or go as one giant glowy stitch? Ideas, I’ve got a million of ‘em! HA.
See you next week!
