Starting a thread for the freebie patterns I’m stitching so you can grab them too if you want. My current WIP is Spring Hopping by Owl Forest Embroidery and you can find it here:

One of the benefits of a) working from home and b) having my own office/craft room is decorating it whenever/however I want. I just put up some Halloween finishes.

It has been a while since I pulled out the sewing machine but I really wanted to make a little pillow from this pattern.

I’m alternating between Autumn/Halloween and Christmas projects at the moment so you’ll have to ignore every other post if you think it’s too soon for Christmas.

This one is called Natural Noel by Tiny Modernist from the A Cross Stitch Christmas, Comfort & Joy book

That squirrel is amazing - and huge! Cottage Garden Samplings designs great animals. I really want to stitch the reindeer early next year.

The Crow is the 4th release in part two. So far there has been a wolf, sugar glider and koala bear. I’ve done the swans and the fox from the first one. I have the rest kitted up and I was going to stitch the woodpecker until I saw the crow

Lissy @lissythestitcher.bsky.social · Sep 20

I’ve finished The Crow by Cottage Garden Sampling’s A Year in the Woods 2 series.

The stitching on these is always a bit intense but the finish is always perfection.

As long as you enjoy the stitching, none of the rest matters

The animals in the banner are from the Fall Fields pattern by The Prairie Schooler.

Lissy @lissythestitcher.bsky.social · Sep 17

My autumn shelves in my office/craft room.

I love how it looks like the fox and raven are looking at each other

I can almost hear the sleigh bells ringing

I colour completed the top section. It was a colour completer’s dream. The rest should be like that too if I can get my rear into gear.

Lissy @lissythestitcher.bsky.social · Sep 14

I set myself a challenge to finish the full coverage section of Witches Hollow by Autumn Lane Stitchery and I got it done 🎉

Funnily enough, I found the full coverage section easier going than the rest because I’ve stalled out on it now. Maybe next month I’ll pick it up again

I still have 6 Christmas/Winter finishes to share and my autumn banner but I’ll do that tomorrow. Apparently I got a lot of stitching done in 3 months. Whatever stops me doomscrolling, eh?

Lissy @lissythestitcher.bsky.social · Sep 12

Hi, no they’re from the Patreon belonging to the designer Tiny Modernist 😊 although I think Halloween Cats will be on general release next month and Fall Bell Jar was released earlier this month on her website tinymodernist.com

Sea Animals Trio by Puntini Puntini

This was one of those stitches where I made myself do the borders first because if I didn’t, I would’ve stopped after the first one.

Stitched on 18ct Aida I dyed myself and with the called for floss. I added beads for the bubbles

The adorable Strawberries for Susan by Cosford Rise Stitchery. I love Susan’s bow.

I stitched this on 18ct Fog Aida by Picture this Plus using a mix of the called for DMC and overdyed floss from stash.

#CrossStitch

I feel like I’ve made a bajillion pillows this year 😂
