Scrapbooking Giveaway Day
This weekend, one commenter will win this gorgeous Cupcake stand cross stitch kit from Ruth at StitchKits.
StitchKits is a very cute Etsy store selling cross stitch kits in original designs designed by Ruth herself.
Ruth started developing StitchKits to kick off 2011. “In January I was inspired by a TV show (Kirsty’s Homemade Home on Channel4) and I picked up cross stitching again for the first time in many years. I haven’t been able to stop since.” Ruth aims to create fresh, beautiful, contemporary kits to inspire the modern crafter to get sewing. She strives to create designs anyone would be proud to hang in their homes, drawing inspiration from the world around me, from magazines, from well designed interiors, art galleries and life.
Prior to StitchKits, Ruth studied Fine Art as a mature student at Wimbledon School of Art in London and has lived and worked in London as an artist ever since. “My experience as a painter has proved invaluable, helping me to carefully select the colour pallets that form the starting point for each design.”
To see more of Ruth’s fabulous kits, log onto her Etsy store. You will find loads of cute designs, including beginner cupcake kits.
To enter, just leave a comment on this post sharing with us if you are a seasoned stitcher or just discovering this cute craft.
Entries close at midnight Sunday UK time and the winner will be posted Monday evening, so be sure to check back to see if it’s your lucky day!
Good luck!

OMG that is too adorable! Thanks for the chance! I began X-stitching in grade school when I had my Mom teach me what she was doing. I remember it took me a bit to remember to have the back pretty as well. Like sewing there was a lot of tear out and do over. lol

Before I started scrapbooking, I would have called myself a cross stitcher. I would always have a piece in progress. LOVE this cupcake design!
3 July 2011, 11:55
I have been doing the same cross stitch for the past 15 years! It is a teddy sitting on a chair. I started it in high school for a very special teacher when she had a baby … continued it for my own son … and it still sits unfinished … sigh
But this is the first kit I have seen that actually cries out to be finished! CUPCAKES!!!!!!! What a fabulous thing to stitch!
Chipper :-)

I did my first cross stitch kit at about 9 years old, mum still has it and it’s really not that good. The stiches are all different directions and I’ve missed some of the holes! I still stich, but thankfully I’ve improved alot. Off to eye up the other kits!
