How do we get the pattern? The picture is adorable!
Hi Donna, Here is the link to the pattern https://www.fatquartershop.com/sew-by-row-cross-stitch-pattern-its-sew-emma
Would love very much to have the pad and I think that is beautiful would love to learn how to stitch and row
So beautiful. Will the pattern be available to purchase as pdf on time for the Stitch Along? I would love to join in but living in Northern Ireland a pdf would be better than having a paper copy pattern. Fingers crossed.
I’m sorry but we don’t offer this pattern as a PDF at this time. I know – that overseas shipping can really take a while!
Hi ,
how big will the piece pe if stitched on a 11 count?
That would finish at approximately 11.9″ x 15.35″.
Did we have a YouTube video today?
We sure did. You can find it on our FlossTube channel 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/fatquartershopflosstube
I am using 14 Aida cloth, per the pattern it should be approx 9.25 x 12 inches. I am getting over 11 inches wide. I have checked the cloth, it is 14 count. I have cross stitch for years and haven’t run into this before. Any ideas?
I wonder if you are stitching on a size 10 or 11 cloth to make it come out that size? Is there any possibility you’re stitching on 25 count over 2? It would be a good idea to measure one inch of the fabric and see how many stitches fit in there to be sure what size cloth you’re using.
