Hey friends! Do you cross stitch? I kinda do. I mean, I’ve done some before but I’m no expert on it. But Alicia Paulson of Posie Gets Cozy fame has the cutest designs! And I normally purchase every. single. design, whether it’s the kit or the pdf pattern But then my follow through isn’t so good. So I thought “let’s do a stitch along”! My hope is that if I have something that holds me accountable then I’ll actually finish something. And then maybe I’ll be motivated to keep going. I can’t tell you how many stitches I have to get done…maybe 10 total? Plus I’m purchasing all the pdf patterns for the Posie stitches I don’t have.

Anyway, let’s do this: purchase the pdf pattern for the Things of Autumn stitch (the kits are currently sold out, but keep checking back. Occasionally she’ll have more kits available), meet up with me on Sunday November 1st at 7PM via Zoho Meeting, we’ll stitch together for one hour. We’ll do this every Sunday through December 20th. We’ll work on two motifs per week and hopefully finish the whole stitch by 12/20. You can share your progress in between meetings by using the hashtag #thingsofautumsal. Feel free to track progress on Instagram, Facebook, or on your blog.

New to cross stitch? Check out Alicia’s tutorial here. Need supplies? She sells her favorite things in her shop. Need to know how to sub out aida cloth instead of linen? See this calculator and this tutorial on Alicia’s blog.

Let me know if you’ll be joining me, either for the virtual part or just for the stitch along itself or both! Happy stitching friends!

’til next time
