Granny Square Cross Stitch ::
Posted by vicki brown on
So as I mentioned in my last post, I've recently found myself getting a little bit addicted to cross stitching!
I've been going about a week, but I love it. I started trying to replicate an image of a geometric art deco inspired pattern I found after a quick google search. This didn't go down all that well however, I kept making fairly silly mistakes and found I was spending more time undoing my...
