What this blog is about…

Welcome to the official cross-point™ blog. Here we can exchange ideas on stitching in the cross-point™ technique – a technique that is fast, fun and easy! We can start discussions on colors, color schemes, pattern sources, answer questions, and so much more. On the cross-point.com website you will find comments and reviews received in the past from both needlepointers and cross stitchers. If this is your first visit to the blog and to cross-point.com, herewith a bit of information you might find helpful.

What is cross-point™?

Cross-point™ is not traditional counted cross stitch, but a unique needlepoint technique designed for faster, more enjoyable stitching. Created from a desire to make needlepoint fit into busy lives, cross-point™ allows you to create beautiful, durable pieces in a fraction of the time of traditional methods, including custom upholstery.

 

cross-point™ is…”fast, fun, and easy”

With cross-point™ needlepoint kits, you can create pillows, rugs and upholstery pieces that become part of your home. Instead of projects that take years to finish, you can enjoy completing designs in weeks – making it possible to decorate your home with your own proud handmade work.

While this blog has an “About” page, you will find much more detailed information about the technique, instructions, materials, and kit contents, on the website  About cross-point™ page.

On my personal page I plan to share my thoughts and ramblings on a variety of subjects such as stitching shortcuts, recipes that are timely and may create more time to stitch, where I get my ideas for patterns, things seen during travels that are somehow stitching related, my background, and whatever else pops into my head as I am writing.

I am, of course, looking forward to your participation and lots of comments and replies to get a discussion going on any subject related to cross-point™.  Please sign up on the blog to receive the monthly  Design of the Month at a substantial discount before it appears on the website.

I wish you many Happy Hours of stitching!
