I Got a Rock

Hey there, Stitchy Peeps!

This post is going to be short on words, for yours truly is tired. I was on vacation last week and had too much fun! I've been trying to play catch up...rather unsuccessfully. ;)

Anywho, here's a peek at a little thing I did recently:

charlie brown always got a rock

Cute, eh?

This was designed by Wild Olive (who, as you know, I love love love!), and it's inspired by It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

my chain stitch...

Hey, look at that chain stitch, would ya? Ain't it grand?

Ok, I will admit, it's not the best example of chain stitching you'll see, but it's not bad. Right? ;)

This was a fun piece to stitch. :)

Well, that's is for me, darlings! I will be back soon with more stitchy goodness to share. Until then...

Happy Stitching!

Cute!
Your chain stitching is fantastic! I can't chain stitch, I mess it up in the first few stitches and end up screaming and tearing out it all out xo

This is really nice! So, do you just color the fabric with crayons outright, like it's paper, or is there another process?

It's pretty cheerful especially considering he's so sad.

I looked on sublime stitching for the flower pattern on the onesies (one previous post) and can't find them. You did such a great job and they are darling. I would like to purchse the pattern. Could you link?
Thanks.
