This month's video is now up on the 'tubes! And to This month's video is now up on the 'tubes! And to continue the Quilt theme from this month's article, I'm talking all about how I finished these 4 Pokémon cross stitches into an adorable English Paper Pieced pencil pouch. 

...except I didn't actually record the process of half of it, so it's a dramatic recreation of how I did it, anyway. 🤣

I don't care when the official start of autumn is. I don't care when the official start of autumn is. As far as I'm concerned September is autumn. I'm only hoping the weather will agree with me. 🤣

Either way, now's a good time to start stitching on some autumnal patterns!
Or you could skip straight ahead to working on christmas presents 👀

This one's still a WIP, but it's another way to co This one's still a WIP, but it's another way to combing cross stitch and quilting that I mentioned in this month's article! 

I haven't had much time to work on this, but I'm slowly making EPP plus blocks and turning them into cross stitch! I haven't yet decided how big I'm going to make this, whether I'm making a mini quilt, a bag, pillow, or something else entirely. We'll seeee.

I definitely need more, though.
I can't be the only one collecting cute embroidery scissors, though. Is this normal? How many do you have? 🤔

Ah my true love; variegated th reads. It's a shame Ah my true love; variegated th reads. It's a shame so many folk avoid these threads. They're just so beautiful and fun to work with. But it can certainly be worth getting used to  working with them! 

I've got a whole article on my websites on tips for working with these threads as well as examples of types of cross stitch patterns where you can easily substitute in some colorful threads.

Have you worked with these types of colors?  Have any tips for folks? Leave 'em in the comments for others to see! :)
