My design style has always tended towards bold motifs & rich color. I became fascinated with chalk art several years ago. I included bold graphics & lettering in my timeless monthly Chalk series 'A Year in Chalk'.

More Chalk cross stitch has followed through a chalk art to chalk cross stitch collaboration with chalk artist Priscilla Blain - we have worked on several series to celebrate the seasons at Home & On the Farm.

This is a great think-out-side-the-box project for finishing. Many home decor stores have frames, stands & plaques that make a perfect display piece. Be sure to check out the tutorial on how to finish on a chalkboard style hanger.

This sweet pink linen was perfect for my retro-fee This sweet pink linen was perfect for my retro-feel color palette, but when it came to finishing, I wanted to boost the pink a little. Swipe to see how I layered a slightly darker pink cotton to give me the finish I was looking for!

Many thanks to Steph of Fabrics by Stephanie for working her dyeing magic! This New Release is aida friendly & yes...the linen color comes in aida!

New Releases ship to shops next week!

100% Human-made art!

It’s been a good day to celebrate 61 trips around It’s been a good day to celebrate 61 trips around the sun. Quietly working away in the studio, sending emails, posting new releases & working on upcoming projects. ❤️

Are you in either of my classes during the @jingleballxs ? Check your inbox, I sent out a class FAQ email earlier today. Yes, there is still plenty of time to sign up for the Ball & both of my classes (Stand Up for Santa & Perforated Poinsettias)

Nothing says 'Holidays' like an awesome plaid!! H Nothing says 'Holidays' like an awesome plaid!!

Home for the Holidays is a fun, quick to stitch & finish retro colored classic. I put this one in my 'comfort stitch' category 🪡❤️

So sweet on that pale pink linen from Stephanie. Chantelle's Penny Paddle is the perfect size for this finish!
