Eye Candy Designs in Cross Stitch

Labels: cross stitch, Eye Candy, magazines

The 2023 edition of A Cross-Stitch Christmas magazine is out. Why do you care? Because seven--count 'em!--of Eye Candy's designs are featured in cross stitch charts.

http://eyecandyneedleart.blogspot.com/2023/06/eyecandy-in-cross-stitch.html

If you have friends who would love Eye Candy's fun colors and interesting designs but they don't needlepoint, this will help them out.

Congratulations, Ada!
