Junebug and Darlin

Junebug and Darlin specializes in making modern cross stitch kits. I use cross stitching as an avenue to subvert the norms of a traditional medium and empower new makers to take the needle into their own hands.

I haven’t decided what to call these yet. Anyone want to weigh in? •

My last floral series was Coral Floral, Midnight Floral and Amethyst Floral- but I’m looking to branch out a bit on these. Maybe if I use the name you suggest I’ll send you a free PDF of the design 😉

Goodbye my beautiful sample. Enjoy your new home at @therealbluprint

Every now and again there is an influx of orders for this print. I don’t know how people discover it, but it’s one of a few prints that started this business. • I don’t draw in this style anymore. Some of that is related to intense pain in my hands and wrists from repetitive stress injuries in art school. But mostly it’s because I put all of my creative energy into designing my patterns. • It’s always fun when it gets rediscovered though. I hope all of you hanging this on your wall love it as much as I do.

Forever trying to take my own advice. #taketimetoheal

I made this pattern 2 years ago and feel so grateful it still feels new and exciting to so many of you.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful stitches @alyson_laure

Food for thought as I enter into my 3rd (and a half) year of business • “1 out of 5 small businesses, in the US, fail in their first year. And, by the end of their 5th year, half of all small businesses fail. “ - @zigzagpod
Here’s to pursing big dreams, small business risks and feminist ideologies.
Be bold • you got this.
