A Year of Celebrations

Originally designed in 2013 & featured in Cross Stitch & Needlework magazine all through 2014, each month’s design is a stitch count of 50 x 50. Make sure to check out the blog post about the series to get the list of threads used in each model. This is a great project to use up those bits & bobs of leftover threads! (DMC substitutions are given in the chart.)

BONUS: I added 2 new charts to the complete design package. By popular request, alternative ‘Canadian-friendly’ designs were added for the months of July & November!

Be sure to check out the tutorial to make your very own clipboard & get ready to enjoy your stitched perpetual calendar!

 

This chart is available in both printed chart and PDF/download format. All sales are final. Any embellishments are not available with the PDF format.

Season 2 – A Year of Celebrations Continues

The long wait for a new season of the popular cross stitch monthly marker series is here!

I began to notice comments from stitchers as they completed stitching the 12 months of ‘A Year of Celebrations’. Indications were that they would miss stitching the sweet, colorful, quick little designs.

Those comments gave me the idea to design a new set—nearly 10 years after the original was 1st published!

Click here for the downloadable border if you wish to stitch all 12 months together in one gorgeous piece!

OOPSIE

Each chart is double checked before it ships out…but every once in a while, my ‘human’ shows. A number gets transposed or left off, symbols get reversed, or I just plain copy/paste incorrectly! I’ll keep this space updated as I hear from stitchers & I thank you for your support & patience! hd-5 Quilt Squared
