The World of Cross Stitching

Over the moon

If you’re looking for your next creative project, we’re here to shine some (moon)light onto this lunar cycle chart. Stitched on navy blue evenweave, Maria Diaz’s latest design is specially made for a double-hoop display and you will be working in three strands to achieve a fuller effect – you could even work on the moon phases in real time, too! We can’t stop admiring the details in the stitched constellations, especially the frosted white seed beads for added texture and shine.

To make your celestiallighting and to use a magnifier if you haven’t stitched on dark fabric before.
