What happens when a top fabric designer and project designer incorporates cross stitch into her repertoire? You won’t be able to resist the allure of Kim Diehl’s Easily Distracted Cross Stitch pattern. Once you start, all other tasks will fade away as you immerse yourself in stitching the beautiful feather and floral garland on a square pattern topped with a golden star. Embrace this perfect distraction and lose yourself in the joy of stitching!

Kim Diehl stitched her design on the Big Hexie Project Bag from It’s Sew Emma by Lori Holt.

This sweet-as-honey mesh project bag B is large and roomy for all your supplies, with handles to make it hands-free! The nylon mesh is strong enough to stand up and hold its shape during use, making it a breeze to find any item stored away. With the added handles, travel with all your favorite cross-stitch or quilting notions, projects, and tools while making a fancy fashion statement. Adorned in an eye-catching print from Lori Holt, this bag can go from stitching days to every day!

The cross stitch pattern is due to arrive next month. The Hexie bag is in stock and more are expected in January so place your orders now.
