NEW Pattern for 2025
Introducing Sparkling Sea Turtle Cross Stitch pattern! What is so unique about this pattern is that it is our first to feature beads! The lovely aqua sea turtle with colorful spots is a fun way to use such a bright variety of DMC floss and your stash of bright beads. Pictured pattern uses a hodgepodge of beads from my stash which are listed in the directions. The swirls are pearl white and each colorful spot features a coordinated bead usually along its inside edge or corner. A few pearl white beads are also directly above the turtle's eye. Enjoy every moment of stitching this bright sea turtle to frame, stitch into a throw pillow, or make into a glass-covered serving tray for tea.
Watch the video for a frame-by-frame still photo of each 100-block (10 x 10 stitches) as it advances into the completed project set to motivational music.
