World Quilting Day & World Cross Stitch Day - Stitching Done

I can't blame my "enabling friends" this time.  I think I saw one of these on a Facebook post.....so I went looking for the pattern - quite reasonably priced - purchased both - and off I went.

I started them in October 2025.  (I remembered to make a note on the pattern...LOL)

The patterns are from the Fat Quarter Shop and include American spelling "COLOR KEY". No way could I stitch that, so I changed it to Threads and added a shape to fill in the gap.
It's actually surprising that "threads" wasn't included in the design anyway.



The original pattern shows these mounted on a Spool-shaped wall plaque - well, they are no longer available and the shipping from the States would be horrendous....So I plan to visit the local Men's Shed and have some spool shapes cut...stay tuned!.


Threads used:
Cosmo 335 (Green)
Cosmo 240 (Red)
Cosmo 2412 (Light Blue)
Cosmo 669A (Navy)
DMC 893 (Pink)
DMC 676 (Yellow)

I love the cross stitch samplers. I look forward to seeing them mounted and in position too.

Good luck finding a finishing piece.
