Brandi Floss is a creative project I began in 2017. Fiber arts have allowed me to practice a hands-on creative outlet, meet other incredible crafters, and create one-of-a-kind artworks to practice my design skills.

Cross-stitch is my fiber art of choice – a perfect departure from the computer screen. I mostly design my own patterns (ok, I can’t completely avoid the computer) and I really enjoy the slow, pixely process of creating art stitch-by-stitch. Please follow my work @brandifloss on instagram!

In awesome news: the talented stitcher and ACTUAL strawberry grower @natalie_davis_19 agreed to be my very first pattern tester! I think her work looks incredibly neat and cute, and she is a very speedy stitcher! Thanks again for reaching out, Natal
Last Saturday, I happily joined the Frog and Toad Tea Party hosted by @yarnsocialkc . It was really enjoyable to be outside with other fiber artists! I made my favorite banana crunch muffins to share (recipe by @inagarten ). Swipe to see the on-theme
Happy May Day! I love making these little photo arrangements, and wanted to make a strawberry-centric one to celebrate the height of strawberry season. 🍓
My absolute favorite fiber arts store in Kansas City @yarnsocialkc has started carrying this beautiful @zweigartneedleworkfabrics cross stitch fabric. I really couldn’t purchase this beautiful yellow and brown fast enough. 🌼🤎🍄‍🟫 I have

My friend Frank @walk500myles is my silliest and most loyal commissioner. A true patron of the fiber arts community. And if he wants to commemorate (via cross stitch) a purse that is the exact dimensions to encase one @costco hot dog - then he came t
You’ve heard of hot dog fingers - now there are hot dog letters. I hope the mustard mavens at @yarnsocialkc approve. 🌭💛
Picked up some really cute vintage kits this year. Most of them were found at my very favorite craft store @craftbitsandpieces in New York. It’s a thrift store for craft supplies and I ALWAYS find some cool things I can use!
A sunflower gift for one of my many lovely Kansas cousins @kelli_oneil ! 🌻 I’ll always be a cross stitcher for life but it’s been fun to practice crochet too. A different kind of stitching!

Finished my latest project during social hours @yarnsocialkc tonight! ✨🧚🏻‍♂️✨ I’m a lifelong Zelda fan and have had this tribute to Anju the Cuccoo Lady in my head for quite a while. And yes, I did the pattern in the style of Stardew V
Started a new (old), summery project last night. 🌼 I love to pick up these Jiffy Stitchery craft kits at antique malls. According to the mail-in offer inside, this was made in 1974. You could send $3.50 for a little wooden frame to go with it. I wis
