Almost done. This is going to be my modern take on Bauhaus, which has been fun! I can't wait to see this final version completed, then get the pattern up on www.benitastory.com As always, it will be free. #benitamakes #crossstitch #crossstitchofbluesky #embroidery #wip #craft #ilovecrossstitch

My second attempt at this design. I did finish the first one, but, basically, just to get the colors and details worked out. So far, this version is much better. #benitamakes #crossstitch #wip #crossstitchofbluesky #bauhaus #embroidery #ilovecrossstitch #crafts

My first actual Bauhaus influenced design. I enjoyed this very much. The colors and details are fun. I'm looking forward to exploring this and other early 20th century art. #benitamakes #crossstitch #bauhaus #wip #craft #crossstitchofbluesky #ilovecrossstitch

I couldn't sleep, so worked more on my Bauhaus design. I love how the colors bounce off one another. #Bauhaus #crossstitch #benitamakes #wip #workinprogress #crossstitchofbluesky #ilovecrossstitch #iloveembroidery

After deciding that my previous design was more 1950s Atomic Art than Bauhaus, I designed something closer to what I see online and in some of the books I have. Of course, it gives me more ideas. #benitamakes #bauhaus #crossstitch #wip #workinprogress #crossstitchofbluesky #ilovecrossstitch

More working on my Bauhaus cross stitch. I am loving the abstractness of this and it's really holding my attention. This is a huge win for my ADHD brain. #bauhaus #benitamakes #crossstitch #crossstitchofbluesky #wip #abstractart #ilovecrossstitch #iloveembroidery

It's done! This is the last design in a series of 12. I still need to finalize the last two, then get everything up on www.benitastory.com Remember, all of the patterns are free, and make quick projects to do. #benitamakes #crossstitch #crossstitchofbluesky #embroidery #ilovecrossstitch

The next color is done. This one was hard on the eyes, but I think it looks great. Two more colors to go. #benitamakes #crossstitch #embroidery #iloveembroidery #ilovestitching #ilovecrossstitch #wip #crafts

Back to cross stitch. I love how patterns look on dark cloth, but, oh, it is hard on old eyes. 😁 #benitamakes #wip #workinprogress #crossstitch #crossstitchofbluesky #embroidery #ilovecrossstitch #iloveembroidery

I really love how this cross stitch is turning out. It's intricate and I love how the colors create their own designs. #benitamakes #artistmade #crossstitch #workinprogress #embroidery #crossstitchofbluesky #iloveembroidery #ilovecrossstitch

I am working on my newest cross stitch design and realized this part, repeated, would make an awesome border for a skirt or tunic. Hmmm...

This one is called Seesaw and it looks so much better on lavender than on gold. I'm so happy! The pattern will be up for free on www.benitastory.com in a couple of days as it joins the other free patterns

Another designed-by-me cross stitch. I think this is #7. This one is called Roundabout. The free pattern should be up on my website in the next few days.

Next designed-by-me cross stitch is done. I wanted something that looked like a compass. As I finalize these patterns, I'm putting them up on www.benitastory.com for free.
