This is where Walnut starts — black walnut hulls from my mom's yard and the horse trail. They simmer for days and eventually become the soft warm parchment in the fabric. It starts with someone walking a horse trail with a bucket. #moonlitdyeworks #naturaldye #blackwalnut #dyeprocess

Introducing Walnut — first of the StitchCon natural dye colorways to hit the shop. Soft warm parchment with subtle tan undertones. Currently available in Aida and Linen, more fabrics coming soon. #moonlitdyeworks #naturaldye #handdyedfabric #crossstitch

Creeping Mist is back — small restock, more on the way soon. Check the shop for current availability. #moonlitdyeworks #handdyedfabric #crossstitch #restock

NEW! ✨ This mesmerizing Opal Dragon Sentry #crossstitch pattern is now up in the Fine Frog shop as a PDF! 😊 ​⠀ 🌟 Get the pattern here: bit.ly/opaldragonse... ⠀ I absolutely loooooved designing with these opal tones. It's a bit of a "trust the process" project, but dang, it turns out magical! 😍

It's been a little quiet around here because summer is always busy - and we have this little guy to add to the household as well. Bear goes in for his vet appointment to see if he can come off quarantine in a couple days!

New! Dragon Candle This month's design features a small, serpentine dragon wrapped around a magical candlestick. There's a tiny bit of metallic stitching in there, too, because I love shiny things...like dragons. www.patreon.com/badstitch/po... #CrossStitch #StitchSky #DarkAcademia #Dragon

Almost done with Blood Rose by @noctifloradesigns.bsky.social - just the flower center and backstitching left. Set it down before StitchCon and it's been waiting ever since. Nice to have something to come home to. #crossstitch #wip #noctifloradesigns

Bogwater is back. Sold out at the Witchy Stitcher Retreat - restocked now. Murky blue-grey, warm taupe, hints of green and brown. Available in all fabrics. Lugana dyes lighter so expect a mistier version. etsy.me/4eLQayh #moonlitdyeworks #handdyedfabric #crossstitch #restock

StitchCon Weekend A is a wrap. New natural dye colorways went over well — saw people walking out with pieces all weekend. Auction piece found a great home. Thank you to Keepsakes and my tablemates. #moonlitdyeworks #stitchcon2026 #crossstitch #naturaldye

The Man in Black fled across the desert, and the Gunslinger followed. The Dark Tower by @badstitch.bsky.social — retreat pattern, now on Patreon. Started it the day I got home. Black Aida only. Some designs tell you what they need. Link in comments. #crossstitch #finishedobject #thedarktower

Shop's back open — new colorway just listed. River Bed: stormy blue-grey and earthy brown, shifting with the light. Available in all fabrics. Lugana dyes lighter — expect a mistier version. etsy.me/4obcogt #moonlitdyeworks #handdyedfabric #newcolorway #crossstitch

Just finished Daughter of the Merciful Deep by Leslye Penelope. Historical paranormal, a Black town displaced by the TVA, African traditions, and a sanctuary world woven into the magic. Slow start but incredible characters, and once the paranormal kicks in it's impossible to put down.

Linen vs Lugana: Lugana is an evenweave, stitches are consistent and grid-like. Linen isn't, slightly more organic feel. In the dye bath, Lugana always comes out lighter. Sometimes dramatically. Sometimes barely. Neither is better, just different. #handdyedfabric #crossstitch #fabriceducation

StitchCon Weekend A is almost here and I'll be there — in the stitching room, making little x's and hopefully not miscounting anything. Come say hi! Shop is on vacation mode until June 15th.

Just finished The Enchanted Greenhouse by Sarah Beth Durst - talking plants, miniature dragons, magic, and just enough romance. Second in the series and they're quickly becoming a favorite. I've already pre-ordered book three.

Billie has reviewed my current WIP and has opinions. Specifically, she feels the legend is unnecessary and that I should be paying attention to her instead. She's not wrong about the second part. #crossstitch #catlife #wip
