After releasing my cross stitch pattern 324 (which was stitched with 324 different colors of DMC) last year, I began stitching a new version featuring the same colors but with various types of stitches. Initially something I was creating just for myself, it soon became apparent that there was great interest within the cross stitch community to be trying something new. And so, I knew I needed to release this as a pattern. What type of needlework is this? Some might call it counted canvas work, some might call it blackwork, some might just call it "a bunch of specialty stitches." Feel free to call it whatever needlework technique you want! This 24 page pattern includes detailed instructions and charts such that a cross stitcher should have no problem stitching it.
Model stitched on 25 count white Lugana with 324 different DMC threads. Stitch count is not listed.
On this count, finished size will be about 11" x 11".
Full information is provided in the chart to understand how fabric choice will affect overall size.
This colorful design was inspired by a 16th century tablecloth made up of 324 squares that are all different patterns. In creating my cross stitch interpretation, I decided to go all in and use 324 colors of DMC. So many stitchers have a full DMC collection, why not use a whole bunch in one project?... Read more

I loved roaming the woods and exploring shapes and designs in nature as a child, and still do today. There is a symmetry and balance within nature when one starts looking. I played with shape and color to create a piece that is both restful and exploratory at the same time, kind of like a walk in... Read more
I learned last year, thanks to my pattern 324, that there are indeed plenty of stitchers who will stitch a design with a lot (to put it mildly) of different color threads. So, why not go to the next level? I am excited to share with you 365: A Year in Stitches. Each of the 365 circles in this design... Read more
