2020 Cross Stitch Finishes

 

Fun fact about me – I was an avid cross stitcher before I ever knew how to quilt. Last Spring I started the Fat Quarter Shop FlossTube channel and each Wednesday I share what I’ve been working on. This year we hosted and joined in sew many stitch alongs, like Prim Village, Jolly July, Stitch-tober and many more! It’s been a year of floss, cloth, sticky board and finishing tape, and with my list of WIPs for 2021 still growing, it’s good for me to remember what I’ve achieved in 2020. I have it all documented in my Cross Stitch Journal, but I thought it would be fun to show them in this post, so you can see them as well!

So, I’ve listed out all my FFOs for 2020, plus the cloth, floss and finishing credits. I filmed videos for some of these projects to show how I finished them. If you see a YouTube icon on the photo, the link for the finishing video is also listed.

…And that’s a wrap!

Throughout the year we had, stitching has been really soothing for my heart. It feels really motivating to see what I’ve completed despite all the challenges, not to mention some major inspiration to do the same next year!
