Design your own CS pillows

November 23, 2010 by Denise Felton Leave a Comment

A post on Craft Stew shows us how to design custom cross-stitch pillows. The blogger says,

I adore commercially manufactured cross-stitch  pillow kits.  The designs are beautiful, the instructions are clear, the threads are all assembled and most even come with an extra needle. The problem is, commercial kits are generic. They often clash with my fabrics patterns and color schemes.  As a result, though the kits are fun to make up, I usually give away the finished projects.  To solve this dilemna, I’ve started designing my own cross-stitch pillows.

Let her show you how she does it.
