Cross Stitch Happy: Busy Bees Pincushion

Welcome!

As you can probably tell, I love counted cross stitch! Like most stitchers, I have a huge collection of purchased patterns, but I take great delight in finding new free charts. I have started this blog as a "Pay It Forward" thank you to all the generous stitchers who have provided free cross stitch charts throughout the years, from all around the world. I enjoy designing simple charts as much as I like stitching, so I will post free charts I have designed here for all to access. I hope you will enjoy the charts as much as I have enjoyed designing them and as much as I have delighted in the charts others have done!

Nil said...: This pincushion is very beautiful. You can use emery grain to fill small one.

Every time you stick your needle or pin into an emery pincushion, it cleans it of the natural oils in your fingers and any impurities in your cloth. It also sharpens the very tip of your needle, making your work quicker and easier on your hands.

You can find in my store:

I hope you dont mind, but I borrowed your bees to go on a little dress you knitted. I have uploaded a photo to Ravelry and gave you the credit.
The pattern for the dress is an Apron Dress by Hadley Fierlinger.
