Glow-in-the-dark cross-stitch
BoingBoing and Craft: both have blurbs on Subversive Cross Stitch's new kit, a glow-in-the-dark design by Ray Fenwick. BoingBoing's link takes you to an interview with the artist. The actual design is here.

The World's Largest Collection of Smalls is a shared blog showcasing all sorts of "smalls". Contributions must be finished in some way other than framing (which tends to turn things into "larges" I suppose). There's prizes for the 1000th and 2500th posts, too. It's growing into quite a collection!

Lisa of Plain Jane Creations found a UFO (Unfinished Floss Object) hiding in a basket. It's a sampler called Random Thoughts from The Drawn Thread.

Feeling Stitchy, the blog for the Embroidery Flickr group, showcased some nifty cross. I was particularly interested in the herringbone patterned buttons, and following up on that link led to Pin Pals's flickr group, particularly their cross stitch section. They make loveley stitched pendants, buttons, etc. I love seeing little useful bits of stitching.
Aside: Many apologies for being so behind lately. Been having some flare ups of health issues. If you want more excuses, they'll be in my personal blog (link on the side). :)

From last week's Patterns Online update, comes this nautical collection of signal flags and sailboats. The designer is Bennie Harman, who has a pretty wide selection up on PO, including some very funn "samplers," such as the "Three Wise Women..." and also more serious designs such as some still fruit still life designs and country style samplers.

There's a community blog titled Freebie Gallery for posting well, finished Freebies. Heather just posted a cushion using a free design from Whispered by the Wind. It looks great on the red she used, but I'd love to see it on a navy blue, too.

If you're interested in a group for exchanges and round robins, there's a LiveJournal community called Cross-Stitch Exchange dedicated to just that. They've just started a fall/Halloween themed exchange.
