This week I’m featuring a cross stitch sampler make that I discovered this week.
I’ve not been able to make anything myself as on Friday I cut my finger with a scalpel at work – silly me but there we go.
After applying much pressure and elevating it the bleeding did stop so a clean dressing could be applied. It has been sore when touched and I’m afraid that it’ll split open again so I decided that perhaps it wouldn’t be good to attempt a make 😦
So during the week I was reading some other blogs and I discovered Little Miss Shabby a blogger who quilts and sews. She recently started a Quilty Stitches Sampler Along which combines her love for quilting with cross stitch.
The cross stitch sampler features popular patchwork blocks in cross stitch form, a new block pattern is posted every 2 weeks which gives you enough time to to squeeze this in with your other WIP’s.
Here’s the page to find the blocks so far: Quilty Stitches blocks, aren’t they looking great!
So why don’t you go check out this blog and get started cross stitching.
Hope you all have a great week.

Thanks so much for sharing the Quilty Stitches Sampler!–I hope your finger feels better soon!! =)
Thanks so much. I think the sampler is stunning and deserves more people looking at it. My finger is getting better, I may do a little sewing tonight 🙂
So pretty, I love cross-stitch and have a half-finished sampler (mexican designs!) in a box under my bed…. Hope your finger gets better soon..
Could have been worse could have put a knife through you hand like I did a couple years ago by accident stitching was not easy lol. I hope your finger heals quickly!
Owww! Get well soon!
you are right, they look gorgeous! ouch on your finger, hope it improves soon
I spotted this recently too! It looks AMAZING! I definitely want to join…when I get caught up on my other crafts that is…
Yes it’s definitely a case of too many projects so little time for me too.
Oh I have had so many finger injuries. I’m sorry, hope it heals fast.
Thanks everyone for your kind words. Today was the 1st day without a dressing so it felt a bit strange but it’s a lot better.
Oh, heal quickly, Jean…and you are doing yourself a favor to let it alone…but you’re a trooper to continue your Make it Monday by featuring another blog. I’ll check it out.
Hugs for healing,
Marianne xo
