Thank you for sharing how you add the sparkle to a cross stitched piece. It really adds a special touch! 🍅

It does! There's something about the texture and sparkle that really kicks it up a notch or ten

So cute!!❤

[@katiestrachanembroidery]

Thank you Kim!!

[@marleenoceanbreeze6510]

Thanks for the tutorial, Katie. Tomato Girl is so cut. I can't tell from the video if you beads are sitting up with the holes showing at both sides, or laying down with only the hole at the top showing. I've seen it done both ways. Take care, and happy stitching, Arleen

[@katiestrachanembroidery]

Thank you! For something like this I don't really bother to position the beads, but when I do take care, I have the beads sitting up with the holes on either side so you see the most of the bead itself.

[@marleenoceanbreeze6510]

@@katiestrachanembroidery Thank you.

[@imagatorvetmom]

When will Santa kits be ready? Not soon enough for me! Tomato girl is gorgeous. Thank you.

[@katiestrachanembroidery]

Holiday! But until then Tomato Girl can provide some sparkle...

[@AftonGroveKnitter]

Who is the designer of Tomato Girl? She’s very hard to find!

[@katiestrachanembroidery]

Sub Rosa Designs! She has an Etsy store where you can get a PDF chart for Tomato Girl. It sells out quite quickly given all the interest lately but she regularly reposts it - keep checking if it's not there when you look.
