There is something about knowing that someone took their time, with me on their mind, to create something with their own two hands, just for me. That's priceless. I know something that will last forever and is something that beginners all the way up to the pro's can use.
Cross stitch gifts are so nice to give. They aren't just wall hangings. Although I think that might be one of the most common things to do. Making throw pillows, key chains, home made drink coaster set, pot holders, book marks, clothes accessorizing, the possibilities are endless.
This is called StitchMeGifts. It's a place that you can get all kinds of cross stitch patterns to work on. The have so many kinds to choose from too. Here is a list of the categories they offer patterns from.

This is the awesome part. With a monthly subscription, all of the designs on the site are instantly downloadable. There is no waiting on shipping or anything.
With every download, the picture of the finished cross stitch, a pattern, and a color legend. It's really awesome. One thing I love about cross stitch patterns, I can modify them to any colors I want. For an example, the pattern with the blonde hair green eyed girl, I want to make that one as a blonde hair, blue eyed girl. It will be so cute when i'm done.

This is a very informative site too. Just by reading through there are tips and tricks and helpful products that make doing the cross stitch easier. One of the recommendations is DMC Thread because of the consistent quality. But using any thread is just fine. The colors they recommend are only recommendations. Every cross stitch is completely customize-able depending on what you want to have done with it.
The more colors in each picture, the better it looks, in my opinion but some of the patterns can be done in just black thread and are so cool. Which ones do you like better? More color or more black and white?
A really nice page they have is the FAQ Page. It has all the basic questions with well written answers. It covers things like payment, downloading, problems, subscription info, and StitchMe.Gifts Refund Policy.
Do you have a special someone that loves hand made projects or hand made gifts? This would be a perfect match for them. I highly recommend it.
I received my subscription for free in exchange of an honest, unbiased review. If you have any questions about these products or would like to see your awesome products here on Amy & Aron's Real Life Reviews, please feel free to email us directly at [email protected]

ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! I remember sitting with my mom and doing these when I was little. Maybe I'll take it up again with my own daughter.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy cross stitch, I do other embroidery too, but I find cross stitch to be more relaxing and quicker. I am going to check out StitchMeGifts, it looks like they carry a lot of patterns to choose from.
ReplyDeleteThis would make such a great gift for one of my granddaughters. She would love making things to give as gifts.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really nice idea for a gift! I wish I had the skills to do these!
