I rarely get to stitch for myself, but jumped on this @sproutinglupine.bsky.social pattern so quick! And then I converted it to a Cosmo palette. Thank you for the fun stitch, Kat!! #crossstitch #stitchsky #craftsky #nature

Been spending a lot of time recently framing my models and it's honestly so nice to see so many things I've made all together like this. Normally I finish a design and throw it in a box after taking pics but having them all nice and framed and displayed together? Chef's kiss
Several rows of framed cross stitch pieces displayed together. The pieces are all in different frames and are different sizes.
