My Thoughts
You may know Alissa from Starry Night Studios…she does custom cross stitch finishing and also makes and sells beautiful finishing boards. I have admired and been inspired by her finishing style for years, and I am so excited that she has started to release some of her very own cross stitch designs! This Summer design was a true pleasure to stitch and came together really quick! I tend to suffer from decision fatigue when it comes to choosing how to fully finish my projects…I took Alissa’s own finish of this sweet design as the inspiration, and I am very happy with the results!
