ABOUT ME:
Thanks for visiting my channel, I hope you enjoyed the video! I founded Caterpillar Cross Stitch in 2015 when I tried desperately for months to find a modern baby sampler my mum could stitch for new baby Felicity that would fit in with her simple, contemporary nursery. I love cross stitch, running, baking fruit cakes, drinking gin, eating salted caramel ice cream and most crafts!
See you soon and happy stitching! Sally x

Hi Nugget! I missed you! I sometimes forget that simple designs can have great impact! This is a terrific idea well presented.

After watching this video, I am thinking about making cross stitch Christmas cards this year for my family & friends!

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

That's amazing! Thank you for watching and we're glad to hear you have been inspired!

I really enjoyed this video and would like to see some on how to finish ornaments.

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

Thank you for watching and for your feedback!

[@SonovaStitch]

I like how Nugget is eyeing the caterpillar in the logo. We think of parrots as vegetarian, but they will absolutely eat bugs given a chance!

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

Haha! Yes!

[@kimegan2032]

Very nice idea, thank for that video 😊✉🧵🪡

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

Thank you for watching! So pleased you enjoyed the video

[@kelsey6695]

It would be pretty to make an interior card thing and glue it on one side the like many store bought greeting cards.

[@SonovaStitch]

Yeah, I thought about that, or making extra pages to glue side so you have more room to write! Thanks for watching!

[@nerdystitcher]

Cool! Thanks!

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

Hi Ford! Love seeing another video this week. Questions: 1. Did you switch back to an tapestry needle to do the cross stitching? 2. How many strands of floss did you use? It looks like two, but I wasn't sure. I have been making greeting cards with some of my cross stitching and putting them into aperture cards. On another cards recently, I glued my cross stitching onto the front of a note card. If I could add a picture to this comment, I would be glad to show you two ways I made cards for Easter. Thank you!

[@SonovaStitch]

Yes. I used a size 26 tapestry to actually stitch, with two strands. I've seen cards made both of the ways you described, and I have a package of those aperture cards, which is why I decided to develop this method.

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

Thank you for watching :)

[@roseb2674]

I love this idea, less is more! Im thinking of using white card? As will be easier to match to cover underneath?

[@SonovaStitch]

Thanks! Yes, a white card would work just fine and be easier to hide that inside part. I just really like the look of brown and pink together. Thanks for watching!
