Earlier this year Lori Holt released a beautiful fabric collection called Flea Market, which was inspired by her love of thrifting, antique shops, and flea markets! Grabbing a beautiful bouquet of flowers from your local farmer’s market or flea market really sets the mood for spring…and that is how the Flea Market Flowers Stitch Along was born!
Gorgeous flowers that reflect the joy and vibrant colors of newly bloomed flowers cover this new cross stitch pattern. This new stitch along begins on June 2, and we don’t want you to miss out on all the floral fun! Read more below to learn more.

I ordered Fabric Flair Confetti Aida 14 from Etsy. The subtle pastel background flecks of color will compliment this gorgeous design. I did not see this fabric in your cross stitch selection. Just a suggestion. Thanks for your beautiful designs!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for posting this! I just ordered it myself! I think it will look awesome!
Amazing
Bundle of thanks for sharing such an informative content
Wow!
Thanks for sharing us such informative content
I love this pattern! Are there alternative colors suggested for a more primitive look?
Hi Glenda! That’s a great question. At this time we don’t have any color alternative’s written out or planned for a primitive look, but personally, I suggest perusing through the Colour and Cotton floss page on our site! They have a plethora of muted, rustic, and soft shades that might fit the more primitive look you’re going for.

Would love the info on the frame it was framed in?
Hi Carla! This sample was custom framed, with a frame opening size of 12 5/8″ x 13 3/4.”
I can’t wait for this stitch along!
Since the Flea Market DMC floss packs are out of stock, I went to buy the floss at Joann’s. There was no DMC 07 or 08. We looked online, and the DMC color for 07 is driftwood (not raisin as listed on the pattern), and 08 is driftwood dark (not pebble as listed on the pattern). Any idea on the confusion, or am I just confused? Thanks for your help. Looking forward to the stitch along!
Leanna, you can get those DMC colors via Hobby Lobby.
This is only my third cross stitch pattern, maybe more than I can handle? My first two patterns were PDF, how do you read this pattern? I can barely see the symbols, is there a short cut or something I’m missing? Do I have to take somewhere and have a copy made?
I have everything ready to start stitching! Must be a lot of people stitching along because I had to go to 3 different stores to get the full DMC floss. Hoping I can keep up with everyone. This is my first big project in several years. I made a clock face a while back and I love it.
You can do it!
