I've done 4 Sims themed cross stitches previously, and the fifth one will be available Saturday for my patrons!

I posted the WIP photo yesterday. So if you haven't seen it yet, and you're a Sims fan... maybe go see if you recognize it. ;)

I haven't made a bell pull in a while. So here's you're reminder that this is a fun little finish option for any long project.

This could be a band sampler, a bookmark design, or really anything. Rather than a looong bell pull you could use the same techniques as just a wall tapestry with some longer hardware.

🎨 Pattern - Available FREE on my Ko-Fi
🧵 Threads - Stitched with DMC
🎀 Fabric - 16 count Wichelt "Brandywine"
✂️ Finish - Bell Pull tutorial on my site!

Some closeups of my favorite quilt squares from my

Some closeups of my favorite quilt squares from my Cross Stitch Book Tracker design! Yep that's right, each of these squares represents one book I read in 2025. And I stitched a whole 100 of them! (Although I read plenty more books that year, lol)

For each I took the primary colors from the cover of the book I read. The quilt square is based on what genre each book was (for example, that spirally log cabin square is horror), the color border is the page count (lighter means less pages), and the yellow dots on the border is what I rated the book!

So much data crammed into one sampler that's now a lovely art piece on my wall.

Just another great example of ways to combine your craft interests. Last month's article was all about ways to combine cross stitch and quilting, so check out my website if you'd like some more ideas on how to mix these two crafts!
