BeStitched Needlepoint News

Happy Monday! This week I chose a cute little stitch that is in the spirit of Easter this coming weekend. Darning patterns make such fun and interesting backgrounds!  

Happy Monday! Today's stitch tutorial is for the Ermine Stitch - a wonderful open background stitch. It's perfect for a large area, and once you learn to "find your clue, find your cue" you'll be cruisin' right along with this one!

It's my travel day home from the Spring Needlepoint Market, but I would never forget to post #MustWatchMonday! I even chose a favorite stitch of mine. Back Stitched Herringbone has a beautiful result, and looks very intricate (but doesn't feel intimidating when you get in the swing of things). It is a two step process, which leaves open the option to use two different thread colors if so desired. The possibilities of what you can use this stitch for are endless!

Happy Monday! Today's #MustWatchMonday stitch tutorial is for the Alternating Smyrna. Smyrna stitches can make a wonderful border, and in this video I also highlight a little "tweak" you can make to change up the look.

Happy #MustWatchMonday! Today I'm going to show you how to do a Jerusalem Cross stitch - there are so many opportunites to change it up to fit your needs. Tone on tone, multi color, multi fiber, beads - try out the basic stitch, then play with all of the fun options!
