FLOWERS FROM ME, TO YOU

a friend from college has been asking me about how to get started in needlepoint. she’s a voracious knitter and quilter so I was a little surprised she wasn’t already a needlepointer. I shared with her the posts* I found helpful at the beginning of my stitching journey but wanted to do a little more so I offered to paint her something small to start with and share some of my fibers and some of the dozens of needles I’ve amassed.

because I mocked up the canvas in stitchsketch I realized it would be easy enough to share with anyone else looking for a little project. you can find the free download in the shop! I can’t wait to see what you make so make sure to tag me.

and remember, it’s okay if #thistookforever.

* there are so many great tutorials to help you get started but I found Morgan Julia’s post helpful and Thorn Alexander’s post, too. (make sure to download her free booklet!)
