The largest independent craft review site since 2007
.. He was denied bail and is currently in jail.
And why is this news. Because it got us thinking about as to what all you can do with sewing needles.
Thankfully, in this case, no one was hurt and the man was caught and behind bars, but what unusual places have you lost your sewing needles in?
Oh! And if you want to read about the man who was caught.. Man caught inserting sewing needles into supermarket meat.
Natalka Studio is an Etsy shop based in Ukraine with a wide variety of cross stitch designs, including realistic, detailed designs with women doing various things, holiday patterns, geometrics and more.
One of the biggest categories in the shop is called girl cross stitch, which features detailed designs of women with flowing hair doing things like drinking coffee, dancing and carrying flowers. There are seasonal projects in this category as well as a couple having to do with hobbies.
I like the knitting one, of course, and almost shared the sewing one as the featured pattern above until I realized the thread is coming off a cone on the floor and there’s no pedal for running the machine.
The one I am sharing here isn’t actually in that category but it is really cute. Little Girl with Watermelon uses 21 colors and measures 73 by 73 stitches. That’s 5.21 inches or 13.3 cm square if you work it on 14 count fabric. I love her messy hair and the little dress and matching bows. You could also change the colors if you have a little girl who isn’t as into pink (or doesn’t have brown hair).
The largest category on the page is animals, and there you will find wild animals like monkeys, pandas and sloths; ocean creatures such as rays, an octopus and a blue tang fish; frogs, dogs and geese, among others.
There are also a lot of Christmas cross stitch patterns, which include a lot of traditional motifs and some more whimsical themes. I like this one of Santa resting by the fire with his boots off.
In addition to all these you’ll find pretty flowers, a bunch of mostly floral bookmarks, a whole big set of patterns with lemons, and a lot more. The fruits and berries section (if you like fruits other than lemons) would be perfect for decorating your kitchen or breakfast area.
Check out all the great patterns they have to offer at Natalka Studio on Etsy.

kinda bummed thought this was an art project. lol
I don’t think that’s funny at all!
Some prat pushes needles into meat, an act presumably to threaten people and perhaps the /supermarket industry and you think its a laughing matter?
Ridiculous and frankly poor taste
I have to agree with the above commenter
Sorry everyone. It is not a laughing matter and no where in the original article did we say that we are laughing about it, only laughing at odd places we have left our needles. In any case, we have reworded the article.
I left my sewing on my kitchen table and walked away for a few moments and when I came back my needle with thread was gone.a couple of days later my dog was sick and wouldn’t eat and got a knot on the side of his neck…rushed him to the dr and he had swollowed that missing needle…I alway make sure my needle is secure down before walking away…oh my dog was fine after a costly operation…
