Learning To Cross Stitch And Needle Point

This summer I decided to take up a few new crafts, one of those being cross stitch. I have really come to enjoy cross stitching, even if counting all the tiny squares can be a bit stressful at times. For Christmas, I asked Santa for a TriDelta Crest pattern kit and he sure did deliver! 

Each kit comes with Adia cloth, crest pattern, Greek letter pattern, and floss. The crest should be around 9"X 12" when I finish. While I liked the colors that the kit came with, I did end up buying a few of my own just for personal preference.
 I've only had enough time to work on it for about four sittings, but it is really coming along!

The kit is from Greek Gear and they have a great selection of almost every sorority and fraternity you could think of. Buy one HERE


I have also become increasingly interested in needle point after a friend of mine showed me the beautiful belts that his mother makes for him. Just on a whim I decided to visit a local needle point shop, and while I left because the prices were so high, I fell in love. So, I drove to Hobby Lobby, bought myself a pack of size 14 canvas, and created this Lilly Pulitzer for TriDelta inspired key fob. I have yet to do the finishings on it, but I will post as soon as I do.  





Happy Crafting!
