Janlynn Mushroom Mini Counted Cross Stitch Kit-2.5" Round 18 Count

Product Information

Cross stitch is a fun way to create nearly any design or picture. Cross-stitch art is often seen hanging on a wall or in a picture frame. But framed pictures aren’t the only way to display your beautiful designs! You can also stitch your pattern onto a bag or pillow, make it into a bookmark, patch, or keychain, stitch directly onto clothes, tablecloths, quilts, and so much more! The Santa Button Sampler from Homespun Elegance on Etsy is a classic style sampler with an old-fashioned Santa and tree alongside a colorful script alphabet. It’s called the button sampler because there is space in each corner of the design to sew on a button, or you could stitch a little motif like a heart or a star in the corners if you’d rather. This one is stitched on 28 count linen and measures 8 1/4 by 5 1/3 inches. In conclusion, mushroom cross stitch has become a beloved part of my creative expression, allowing me to merge my fascination with mushrooms and my love for embroidery. Through this art form, I’ve not only found a way to celebrate the beauty of mushrooms but also a means to connect with a community of fellow enthusiasts. Each stitch is a small act of love towards these fascinating fungi, and I look forward to continuing my mushroom cross stitch journey with joy and enthusiasm.

Thread your needle as you would for sewing, but don’t tie a knot in the end. Knots can cause your fabric to be bulky in certain spots, and the end of your floss will be stitched over enough to be held in place anyway, making a knot unnecessary. Reading Cross Stitch PatternsContinue working your needle through your fabric to make an “X” shape. As you work your pattern, be sure to make all of your stitches in the same direction. Cross Stitch Supplies One of the most rewarding aspects of mushroom cross stitch is sharing my finished pieces with friends and fellow enthusiasts. I’ve gifted my mushroom cross stitch creations to loved ones, who have appreciated the handmade, nature-inspired artwork. It’s a delightful feeling to see someone’s face light up as they recognize a favorite mushroom depicted in thread. It’s almost time to start stitching! Orient your pattern so that it’s facing the same direction as your fabric. In most cases, it’s best to start in the middle of your chart (unless otherwise specified). If it’s not easy to find the middle, you can use a pencil and a ruler to help you find the center stitch.

First, start by preparing your fabric. 14-count Aida fabric is most common for cross stitch. The number 14 indicates that there are 14 holes per square inch. Embroidery floss– Your pattern will tell you which color codes to use, but feel free to exchange for a similar color (or something different altogether!). In this cross stitch template you will find a variety of poisonous and edible mushrooms. Choose for yourself which ones you would like to use. Art Inspirate on Etsy has another great design with three mushrooms of different sizes and a bit of grass. It is 51 by 54 stitches and uses nine colors. It comes out to 3.64 by 3.86 inches on 14 count fabric and is all whole cross stitches, so it’s a nice one for new stitchers looking to increase their skills. Cross stitch is a type of embroidery that uses colorful threads to stitch patterns and designs onto evenweave fabric. Counted cross stitch is the art of working X-shaped stitches to create a pattern or a picture, according to a gridded pattern or chart.

Additionally, I’ve connected with a community of like-minded individuals who share my passion for both mushrooms and cross stitch. We exchange tips, patterns, and stories, creating a supportive and creative environment that enriches my artistic journey. Exploring New Patterns and Techniques Once your fabric is ready, you can prepare the first color of floss that you’ll be using. Most embroidery thread is made of six strands, but most patterns suggest using only one or two strands at a time. Pull out one or two strands (as specified by your pattern) and cut a section about 18″ long. Aida fabric– White, 14-count Aida fabric is the most common. Larger fabric, such as 6-count, is great for beginners, while smaller fabric (18-count and higher) is for very experienced crafters. I managed to simplify this cross stitch pattern to 25 colors without losing the variety and the lightness of the impression. The pattern has a size of 287 x 187 stitches. Depending on the fabric type, this corresponds to a size of 14.4 inch x 9.4 inch or 36.4 cm x 23.7 cm (AIDA 20ct) to 23.9 inch x 15.6 inch or 60.7 cm x 39.6 cm (AIDA 12ct) The other day I came across a mushroom cross stitch pattern that I have shared with you before (you can find it here!) and it got me thinking about more mushrooms.

Start by finding the center of your fabric. You can do this by folding it in half both ways and then finding the meeting point in the middle. Next, center your fabric within your embroidery hoop and tighten your hoop down using the screw. This will keep your fabric taut while you work. Dividing your Embroidery Floss A beautiful motif for cards, potholders or towels. What skills are you going to need and what will you get As a passionate mushroom enthusiast and cross stitch artist, I have found a delightful way to blend my love for both hobbies – mushroom cross stitch. This intricate form of embroidery allows me to recreate the beauty of various mushrooms with a needle and thread, capturing their unique shapes, colors, and textures in a charming, pixelated style.
