INSPIRATION FOR STITCHING
OUR SPECIAL OFFER FOR FEBRUARY
Inspiration – same colors, 4 different patterns
INSPIRATION FOR CUSTOM STITCHING
Recently we received this delightful comment from Michael C. in Canada:
“I heartily endorse your kits. I had never done any sort of needlework before finding your website. I discovered you in response to a challenge from my wife – I was going crazy from boredom during Covid, we had argued for 20 years over how to recover the dining room chairs, she conned me into expressing a preference for your type of designs, and then told me it was up to me to actually do the chair covers.”
“I went looking and found your website. I learned how to cross stitch from your instructions included in the kit. If I can learn to cross stitch, anyone can. I also really appreciate your willingness to modify designs to suit the colour palette we want to use. I think Chair 5 will be my eighth or ninth cross stitch. As an accountant, your designs play to my strengths: counting and symmetry.”
Even someone who has never stitched before was able to be inspired to not only learn the cross-point™ technique — he also has the will and determination to stitch six dining room chairs!
Michael’s beautiful work
As you can see in the photo above, each chair is a different cross-point pattern using the same colors, adjusted at the edges to fit the chair seats. Michael is only one of many stitchers who have ordered custom work. We offer custom colors for pillows and custom sizes for rugs, upholstery for chairs, stools, and benches.
A custom color offer
So be bold! During February, cross-point™ is offering custom colors at no extra set-up charge to convert one of our patterns to your own colors. You can flex your creative muscles and have fun doing so. Here another example of our Tabriz pattern, 02 colorway, blended to existing draperies:
Tabriz Custom Colors 02
Small Tabriz 02
Or use us to TO BE INSPIRED,we offer help to choose colors with confidence! We have adapted colors from wallpaper and fabric pieces and from photos sent to us of existing draperies or upholstery. After you choose a pattern from the website, all you have to do is send a fabric piece, wallpaper scrap, or detailed close-up of upholstery so we can blend wools. We will send an image of skeins for your color approval or send actual wool samples, if requested. A print-out of the design will also need your approval.
Note that custom orders require a 50% deposit at initiation, and, once in process, cannot be cancelled, and are not returnable. Please contact me with any questions at sieglinde@cross-point.com.
Let’s be inspired together!
