Hello creative souls! Salutations for this good day! Happy Valentine’s Day! Love is in the air and it’s time for candy and flowers! Yeah!! Hope you have a fun Valentine’s Day!! I finished up one final cross stitch in the nick of time! I have been working on the Tiny Town series and now I have completed two of them! Yeah! Also, I think I have the right finishing idea for my Towns, and I will post that once I have it all finished and looking cute! CLICK HERE to see my Halloween Town stitch! CLICK HERE to see all of the Tiny Towns! For me the Seaside one will be next up on the hoop. I am so happy to see that cross stitching is really a ‘thing’ again. It’s awesome seeing everyone’s beautiful pieces. One of my very favorite things about cross stitch is that it is easy to put in your tote and bring with you. I stitch in the car a lot – when waiting for appointments etc., or at the coffee shop (It always sparks a conversation and I have met the nicest people that way), at a friend’s house….anywhere! If you are a beginner, these Tiny Town patterns are super fun and easy to learn on!!
Details for this piece:
Finished size: 13″ x 3″
Pattern: Big Hearted Tiny Town by Heart in Hand
Floss: Called for fancy floss from Classic Colorworks and Weeks Dye Works
Fabric: 14 Aida in Vintage Taupe/Country Mocha
Here are some close ups of all the adorable elements! Tiny flags and hearts…and that post box!!! The pattern comes with the four heart buttons to sew on at the end. EEK.
I love the little white picket fence going through the town…
And sweet pink trees! And heart clouds coming from the chimneys…. The details are the thing for sure. You know I always love the details…
I took a few pictures when it was half way done!
I used the called for threads – changing a few of the colors slightly. I do like the variation in the thread colors that happens with the fancy floss. I used 14 Aida from Amazon (also available at Hobby Lobby) in Vintage Taupe. After some research I think that color has been retired and become Vintage Country Mocha. It is basically the same color.
Gosh, I literally can’t stand it.
Okee dokee my sweethearts! Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you get spoiled and loved on today!! Much love from my studio to yours! XOXOXO
