Welcome to Stitchy Kitty, a fun needlework design company featuring the whimsical designs of Michelle Lutzen!

Stitchy Kitty counted cross-stitch designs are humorous, fun to stitch patterns that work up quick and don't take a lifetime to finish! Many designs center around the holidays, the changing seasons, pets, family, and all those other delightful things in life that are enjoyable and make you laugh. So... if you love to stitch roly-poly snowmen, warm and fuzzy kitty cats, goofy-looking dogs, and all things "witty, wacky, and wonderful", then you've come to the right place!

Handmade Autographed Stitchy Kitty Ornament Brings in $51.00 for Diabetes Charities!
I'm thrilled to announce that my "Willy's Gift" ornament shown below that I donated to The Busy Needle's Ebay Auction for Diabetes had a winning bid of $51.00! Many, many thanks to the wonderful person (and you know who you are!) that won the auction, your donation is going to a very worthy cause! I'd also like to thank everyone who placed bids on "Willy's Gift", as well as on all the other stitchy items that were up for bid!

Stitchy Kitty is in the Nov 09' Gift of Stitching Christmas Ornament issue!
I'm very excited to have an ornament in this year's Gift of Stitching Christmas ornament issue! Here's a pic of my ornament, called "Santa Swirly Cone", and the cover of the magazine:

Alas, my ornament didn't make the cover...but there's always next year! My ornament is stitched in DMC floss and features a cute little peppermint button from Just Another Button Company on the tip of Santa's hat. The sprinkles are made with french knots!

This issue can now be downloaded as a single Back Issue for only $4.00 (and you don't have to be a subscriber to order Back Issues)!   That's a great bargain for an issue containing wonderful ornament designs by 38 popular designers)!
