Giveaway-Improper Cross-Stitch: 35+ Properly Naughty Patterns
Leave a comment in today’s post by Aug 23, 2018 and you are in the running for this fun and snarky cross-stitch book.
Open to U. S. residents only please.
A fun, witty, nerdy, and irreverent craft book for the modern cross-stitcher.
Sometimes it’s good to be a little…improper. Profane, funny, and smart, Haley Pierson-Cox’s IMPROPER CROSS-STITCH invites the modern crafter to bring personality and humor to their cross stitch projects. From a fully designed “Damn it feels good to be a crafter” to the beautiful Art Deco inspired “fuck,” Haley’s patterns are fresh, lively and just what the crafter ordered.
In this book, she’ll introduce readers to the joys of stitching the naughty, the profane, the irreverent, and the just plain awesome. First, she starts with a basic lesson in cross-stitch technique, no previous experience required. Then, once readers know your way around an embroidery hoop and a skein of floss, the books moves on to the designs?35 in total, ranging from hip, to nerdy, to ironically domestic?where Haley encourages crafters to embrace their inner snark with gleeful abandon.
Her easy to follow instructions and colorful designs can make a cross stitcher out of anyone. In all her years of crafting, Haley’s learned many things, but this simple fact remains one of the most important: There is absolutely nothing in this world quite so satisfying as enshrining something deeply inappropriate within the delicate stitches of a cross-stitch sampler. It’s truly one of life’s great delights!
Edgy. Love it!
Oh I so need this!!!!
Now that I’m old, I could probably get way with displaying/gifting these. You know, old people do unpredictable things.
I’m always up for snarky and x-stitch!
Awesome!
I’ve been coveting this book since the first time I saw it.
What a cute find!!! My husband and my sister always wear shirts with snarky comments!! Some you have to really think about, some are so obvious that it is funny when folks are puzzled!! I cannot think of a better gift for my baby-sister, who is also my bestest-friend e.v.e.r.!!! Thanks so much for the opportunity to win this book! Whether i win or not, my “sissy-poo” will have one copy in her stocking!!! Thanks for sharing such a great find!!!!
nice give away……love snarky
I haven’t cross stitched in a few years, preferring to knit and quilt…..but this book just might make me pick up my needle, floss and aida cloth again!
Sweet! Would love.
This is awesome! I need this book now for Christmas gifts.
Oh, I am totally down for this! I have friends that will love the gifts I would make from this book! LOLOL
I love to come across designs that are a little off-color in content. I always have a friend that it will fit!
Is that a smoking gnome? LOVE!
This sounds hilarious and can’t wait to try some of the patterns.
Because NOTHING says “Merry Christmas!” like a little elf butt …and I’m just the chick to do it!
This is hilarious. Pick me! Been stitching over 40+ years.
Love naughty little things. Enter me!
Omg i am laughing so hard at some of the improper cross stitch patterns. I’m going to make a crochet cross stitch blanket and would love to use these for them.
I haven’t cross stitched in years. My sister-in-law got me into it when I was a teenager but I gave it up. Now she’s gotten bored with it and I am picking it up. She recently gave me all of her supplies and so all I need now are some fun patterns to get started on.
Love these!!!
Has a winner been selected yet?
I would love to be the winner of these great cross-stitch patterns. Sounds like a lot of funny ones and a little ornery. I’m an old gal and I have some friends that get a kick out of these ‘gifts’. Of course there are some I would hang on my walls.
Haha! I’d love this! 😀
Used the naughty elves from the cover for a birthday card. It really got a hoot from everyone.
