Welcome, bienvenido, valkommen, witamy...

Welcome to the blog home of Cuppa Joe Designs. We are a brand new cross stitch design company founded by two friends with a passion for stitching and just enough insanity to think we can make a go of it in the design world. Between the two of us, we have almost 30 years of obsession and immersion in the world of cross stitch.

Why Cuppa Joe Designs? Well to start with, we are both complete coffee addicts. If it's coffee, we like it. We also wanted a name for our company that didn't suggest one style of design. That just isn't us. We stitch and design anything and everything. One day the inspiration might bring forth a hardanger design and another day it might bring forth a simple, fun, quick stitch design. Finally, when we stitch and design, we settle in, bounce ideas off each other, relax and enjoy the process and each other. It's a stitchy version of a coffee klatsch.

So pull up a chair, grab your cuppa joe, and join our virtual coffee klatsch. Here is our very first freebie for your enjoyment...

Although the pattern uses grey for the coffee cups and letters, we think this pattern would be ideal for an overdyed fiber.

We would love to see your individual interpretations of this pattern. Please send us a picture of your creations! We will soon have a gallery set up so others can be inspired by YOU!
