About PC Stitch Pro

Pam asked about PC Stitch Pro on this Sneak Peak post.  Pam designs cross stitch patterns using graph paper, and I highly recommend getting PC Stitch Pro. It is is an easy-to-use cross-stitch design software product.  You can quickly and easily try draft patterns,  flip, rotate, copy, paste and move design elements around the page, and change colors until you have the floss color palette you like.

Here is the link to their website. PS Stitch

They have both a standard and a professional version. The website details out the differences, but I have only used the Pro version.

My only complaint is that they do not have the overdyed flosses as part of their floss colors.

My Newest Cross Stitch Design

I haven't stitched this yet, but will hopefully have time to get it well underway this evening.  It will be stitched on 28-count linen with Weeks Dye Works floss (Charcoal, Havana, Beehive, Moss, Olive,  Red Rocks, Aztec Red, and Straw). 

Monday Night Sewing

I had a very productive evening.  Finished the baby quilt top for Emrie. She is due in about 6 weeks, so I should be able to get it quilted and bound before the big occasion. Her nursery will be in pink and brown, with old-fashioned florals. (Sorry the tops of the two quilts below aren't visible because they are hanging over the banister in the stairway.)

I also was able to finish preparing the berries for Bittersweet Briar. They are glued on, but I haven't appliqued them yet. I was supposed to do 13 berries on each of the four vines, but as you can see, I only did 10. Don't call the quilt police -- but I didn't have it in me to do 12 more.

Bedtime for me. My workday starts at 6:00 a.m.
