Welcome to my blog!

To go with my Meadow Field designs I have made this sweet little mushroom cross stitch design available as a FREE PDF printout! I have included a colour & symbol pattern chart, as well as a basic ‘how to’ cross stitch guide. I am hoping to make the whole range from my embroidery kits as cross stitch designs too! Which would you like to see next? You can download it here -> https://mariainthewood.myflodesk.com/crossstitchmushroom Maria x

Adding a backing felt to your embroidery when you are keeping it in the hoop after you have finished, is a lovely way to hide all the stitching at the back. Your kit comes with felt and thread should you want to do this! Before you start your embroidery, you need to take the felt and your hoop, a pen and some scissors. Using the inside smaller hoop, draw around it on the felt. When you cut it out it will be the perfect size to cover the back of your work! Watch out for pt. 2
