Lugana 25 count  Vintage Smokey White (marbled) fabric from Wichelt.  52% Cotton & 48% Rayon. This is one of our newest fabrics at Julie’s x Stitch.  Very unique fabric.    It would be great for the effect of snow in a cross stitch project.   Lugana is an even weave fabric.  It is soft and heavy.

Japan Thread #1, Kreinik
Posted by Julie at 2:27 pm in Cross Stitch Blog

Japan Thread #1


Kreinik Japan Threads are synthetic, non-tarnishing gimps available in gold, dark gold, silver and copper that give the appearance of stitching with real metals. Since real metal threads are rare and expensive, Japan Threads are an ideal substitute.

There are two new patterns in Nora Corbetts (the designer of Mirabilia) Spring Garden Pixie Couture Collection exclusively from Wichelt, sold and Julie’s X Stitch.  I just love the colors in both of these fairies.  Nora is famous for her beautiful fairies.  I have done several of them myself and have the cross stitched pictures hanging all over my walls in my office and home.  Gorgeous!

Busy New Year at Julie’s X Stitch
Posted by Julie at 4:27 pm in Cross Stitch Blog

Wow, it has been a busy New Year at Julie’s X Stitch.  Since right after Christmas the shoppers went wild.    I am also working on an ad for my store in Just Cross Stitch magazine for their March issue.  I am very excited about it.  Check it out on new stands in late February early March.

Hope everyone is happy and healthy in the new year!
