I had a little fun tweaking and experimenting with the designs in the bottom 3 squares. I substituted these quilt inspired designs:
I also substituted one column of flowers with a design I saw in a vintage cross stitch that was hanging in an antique shop. The vintage floral row looked like this:
I chose to make mine all the same color:
The last change I made was to add a black cat to the bottom left corner. The cat pattern is by Melisa Vandergriff of Pinker N Punkin Quilting and I just think it's adorable.
Next step, of course, is to get it framed. I really enjoyed this pattern. It had fun, bright colors, easy-to-follow geometric patterns, and room to play.
Lovely cross stitch - or is it needlepoint? Not sure I know the difference. I'm visiting from Kathy's Slow Stitching party. Like you, quilting is also my primary contribution to creating art.
ReplyDeleteIt's cross stitch. I did a lot of cross stitching before I discovered quilting, and now I'm a fan of both.
DeleteCute cat in the corner! Lots of stitches in this beautiful picture. Gail at the cozy quilter.
ReplyDeleteThe many different stitches is what made it hard to put down. I kept wanting to see what came next.
