Heirloom worthy Cross Stitch designs

Hello, sugar covered marshmallow chickens!

My partner Andrew is very near full recovery, I'm so amazed and relieved! The doctors have all been very cheerful and seem sure he will be done with dialysis within the next week or so. Thank you everyone for all of the support, well wishes, patience, and understanding while we've gone through all of this.

I have quite a few new customers and subscribers, so so you're not entirely in the dark, two months ago my partner was diagnosed with acute liver failure and I had to drop everything to care for him. He spent near three full weeks in the hospital and now he's almost in the clear! It's been so scary, but every nurse and doctor we've interacted with has been great.

Stuart Johnson posted a finish on Reddit of Zelda Halo that really took off, which is where I assume most of my new subscribers have come from - hello! Even Hannah Alexander herself messaged me to say people in real life were mentioning it to her. Holy moly! :D Another big shout out to Alice Roy for working with me and making the luxurious Secret Stone charms for the finishing detail. :)

I have finished the last of Hannah Alexander's Eeveelution designs, and at last caught up with the series Hanae handed to me a while ago. :) Vaporeon has a special finishing supply in golden shell beads and her PDF also includes a modesty edit.

Newest Patterns

​Candy Series from Hanae Kariko

I've revamped all of Frenone's World of Warcraft designs. Most of them didn't need any adjustment besides some minor symbol placement or choice. A couple of them got new variations with beads - Sylvanas and Ysera - and the corner flower got entirely redone with a lower price. I did decide to keep the plants as they've been as my leading finisher for Frenone patterns, Amanda Julien, told me it was worth the work. :)

Now that Frenone's old patterns have been brought up to date, I can add the remaining pieces of art I have from her back into rotation. This is nine characters and a potential frame.

​Alphonse Mucha's Pole Star won the poll, and will be my next pattern focus. :) When she is finished I will put a poll up for the next.

I will also be focusing the next revamp on the existing Mucha patterns. They need approval from the Foundation so the sooner I can get them up to snuff the sooner that can happen, and then those of you waiting for Pattern Keeper or SAGA files will be able to stitch again. :)

Hannah Alexander's Raven will be exiting Early Access September 1st. Then she will be available regularly. Don't forget her sequin pack for finishing!

And with her exit, Hannah Alexander's Cloud will be entering. :) He will be Early Access until November 1st. And there will be another poll for the next one.

Happy stitching!

Make it Pink Heirloom worthy Cross Stitch designs Click here to go to the Shop Hi everyone ❤️ A little serious life news before I move on with the rest of this month's art update. Last week my partner Andrew became seriously ill and was transported via helicopter to a bigger hospital, and was recommended for a liver transplant. We aren't out of danger yet but the specialized team there is no longer recommending the transplant and is comfortable enough with his condition to transfer him back...
