I then free motioned some random quilting lines, words, twirly’s and etc. Finished with a zig zag stitch. These crosses are also backed with a cardstock-scrapbooking-type of paper, to add stiffness and keep them from bending, much like the postcards I’ve made.
And I decided this was a good time to try another little art supply I’ve had on hand, but haven’t used — yet! A little dab of “Liquid Pearls” I bought in a packet of three, from Michaels. I used the gold color, adding some random dots… and also applied as an edging, too. This product is very easy to use. Dries quickly. A fun little embellishment.
These little crosses turned out ‘just okay’ in my view. I’m not sure what it is I don’t like, exactly. Maybe it’s the color. Or the white zig zag stitching. They don’t seem very vibrant, perhaps. Which may be because I usually embellishments that shine. Maybe it’s my mood. Or perhaps it’s the photography. Regardless, they will be fun little remembrances to send to family and friends, easy to tuck into a card for Easter.
One… thousand to go.
Enjoy the ‘getting there!’

I'm so impressed – love the free motion stitching and the words are perfect! i think the crosses are beautiful, too, but if you aren't happy with them, maybe some more layers of color? Or embellishments like buttons or some other surface treatment…little beads? (Can you tell I am brainstorming?)
I love the crosses and think that they turned out fabulous!
And I am with you 1000 more projects to go… 🙂

my first or second time HERE … I so agree with Sparkles … such grace in stitches … there is just NO wrong way!
Their simplicity makes them ever more representative of grace to me. wonderful. xox Corrine
Yes, I agree with Holly. They are just softer but totally Eastery!
Well, I think they're pretty. They are are softer in color with less embellishing and value change than you usually do so perhaps that's why you're unsure.
