I'm Zoe Frost, the creator/crafter/owner of Junebug and Darlin. I'm a queer femme artist living in Portland, OR. I love to adventure through pine trees, ferns and rivers with my partner and our two dogs. I believes that art should be useful and crafting should be for everyone. My kits combine nature, queerness and good ol’ fuck the system attitudes. My cross-stitch kits are 100% handmade and provide all of the supplies needed for you to create a finished cross-stitch from first stitch to frame. I want my products to be useful and instructive to you, and can guarantee a political agenda. taken in Portland, Oregon by @junebuganddarlin

I spent the past two weeks romping around Vermont and Montreal, but maybe you didn't notice because @shannonsq has been doing such a great job in my absence sending out your orders and updating my website.
While I was gone we put 3 new kits on the site, including this very fun new Beetles kit.

Join us for a book lovers cross stitch workshop, in partnership with Junebug & Darlin and Reese's Book Club Portland Chapter!

Fall is officially here, which means we're dreaming up bookish crafts! We strongly believe cross stitching pairs beautifully with an audiobook and a treat, and what better kit than one that expresses your love for books?! Come and join us for expert instruction on how to cross stitch, chat and connect with fellow book (and craft) lovers, and enjoy some delicious wine, beverages, and snacks.

We'll be using Junebug and Darlin's adorable Book Lover kit to start our cross stitch journey. Walk away with a toolkit of best practices, the beginnings of a very adorable cross stitch piece, and a potential new crafty obsession. No experience necessary, but do bring reading glasses and thimbles if you need/use them, plus a pair of scissors.

Tickets are $40 and include the cross stitch kit, expert instruction, wine, NA beverages, and snacks.

6-8pm
Endless Wonders Books

Portland, OR 97215

The newest PDF on the site, but not the only one that honors Dolly. xoxo

I'd recommend adding rhinestones and turning it into a pillow. It's the perfect size for an honorific sampler coming in at 8". by @junebuganddarlin

The weirdest part of running a creative business is that sometimes I go a year without designing anything new, and then sometimes I make 5 new patterns in a week. I have all or no chill. by @junebuganddarlin

Finish a hoop with me, @shannonsq , in 45 seconds!

This is my major finish (and my final time taking over Zoe's Instagram) for the Spring stitch-a-long, What the Actual Fuck (I'm still muttering it to myself daily, how about y'all?)

Thanks to everyone who stitched along with us, it was a super fun way to spend the spring. The winner has been notified and has chosen their sampler, and we send an email out to everyone who filled in the form and requested to be on our newsletter.

If you are in the Portland area and are looking for a little cross stitch guidance, I am teaching a class this Saturday (10/30) at @starlightknittingsociety , getting stitchers started on the adorable Spring Bird pattern (sign up in Starlight's website)!

Happy late Spring/early Summer stitching, friends! Do you have a cross stitch goal for this season? by @junebuganddarlin

This is it, yall! The end of the Spring Stitch-a-Long! This is @shannonsq , once more hopping in to share my progress & remind y'all to fill in the form by Monday if you've been taking part (linked on the contact page on our website).

I finished What the Fuck & am sooooo close to finishing Resist Fascism. I'll hopefully get it done & both of them hung this week!

How about y'all? Did you start one? Finish one? Share in the comments! by @junebuganddarlin
