The cross-stitch pattern comes with both a symbol chart and a color chart for easy reading. Good for geeks of all ages!

The PDF pattern is now available as a $5 download right here.

If you’re intrigued but have never cross-stitched before, check out my new beginner’s tutorial on the How To page.

Getting Started with Cross-Stitch

As I mentioned a few days ago, a new cross-stitch pattern will be coming to the Mochimochi Shop this week! In the meantime, I thought I’d give a little intro tutorial on the how-to page for people who haven’t cross-stitched before. I hope you’ll give it a try!

New X-stitch Pattern: Merry Meadow

Can you believe it’s May already? It’s about time I put this new springtime cross-stitch pattern in the Mochimochi Shop!

I mostly worked on this pattern back in January, when springtime was just a pleasant dream, so I’m excited to finally release it! I think everyone can use some cute flowers and a little chaos and destruction for their wall.

The pattern, comprised of charts with symbols for colors, is available as a PDF download for $7.

Plus! If you buy the pattern before the end of May, you can get a big discount on it through CRAFT—see the details on the offer on the CRAFT blog. Thanks, CRAFT!

Oooh Tessellations

I’ve been on a tessellation kick lately with a new cross-stitch design that I’m working on. Having grown up on Square One, this song has been in my head a lot in the past few weeks. Way catchier than the original!

Here’s what my dino tessellation is looking like. I’m pretty excited about it.

Springtime Cross-Stitch Peek

My next cross-stitch design is in the works right now! Here’s a peek at what a small section of the chart is looking like.

Maybe you can tell what the subject matter is?

I’m still pretty amazed that I figured out how to create this kind of chart—with plenty of help, of course!
