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!

August 20, 2018 at 8:49 amI 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.
