Stitching the sweet moments

About the Book

Joyful moments at home, time for gardening, baking sweets. All the little pleasures in life are between these pages, waiting to be embroidered. Let some flour and cookies, an old English cup full of tea and a bouquet of flowers inspire you. Let your needle and thread design magic moments of everyday life.

These cross stitch charts are for every creative, the beginner or the advanced. From these charts, everything can be created: from cushions to runners. The secret ingredient is just to enjoy your embroidery.

About the Author

Tania Santarelli

Tania Santarelli , known as Lilli Violette, is an Italian designer of cross stitch charts since 2009. She started with a blog for sharing her passions, and it turned out to be a beautiful way to connect with other creatives all over the world. She also is the founder of “Fili Senza Tempo”, the very first show of cross stitch in Italy. Her cross stitch charts are about serenity, love and peaceful moments at owns home. She draws her charts in the attic over the roofs of the city in the North of Italy, where she lives with her husband, two daughters, two playful dogs. Her house is full of potteries, fabrics, yarns, quilts, old embroidered samplers and antiques; from them, she finds the inspiration for her everyday work.

Flour and Flower

In the village there is a bakery and patisserie, and every morning the tempting aromas enter the houses and attract grown-ups and little ones alike... even a hungry chicken. The lady is very kind and gives customers a small flower with every purchase.

It’s Gardening Time

Finally, after a long winter, gardening time is back. When sunlight warms up the days, lingering in the garden, planting, watering and taking care of flowers and bulbs is a wonderful thing.

Olga and Her Strawberries

An inviting smell is coming from Mrs Olga’s kitchen. Maybe she baked her famous strawberry custard cake!

Stories of Bees and Honey Jars

Little worker bees live in my garden among tiny colourful houses and beautiful scented flowers. The honey is ready for sale, and jars of delicious wildflower honey are ready to be distributed to the whole village.

Apple Pie

A basket of beautiful sweet, red apples and pouring rain make you realize that autumn is here. In the kitchen, a pretty tea towel reminds you that it is always the right time for a good apple pie.

Early Morning Coffee

What could be nicer than a good cup of coffee in the early morning when the whole house is still asleep, comfy-cosy, still in our pyjamas, sitting in the rocking chair with a wonderful, romantic gingham cushion, lovingly embroidered for our home?

Red Roses

A cushion of love, full of dried petals, contains memories and moments of great happiness; an embroidered cushion to remember every moment and keep the cards we received. And a bouquet of roses that will never fade.

Daisies and Vanilla

A bag with a gingham lining and lace edging will surely delight the recipient of this beautiful gift. And let’s not forget the vanilla biscuits, to give to our best friend.

Books, Pumpkins and Hot Cocoa

Autumn is… lots of lighted cinnamon-scented candles, reading a book and enjoying a good hot chocolate, cooking tempting pumpkin soups, wearing boots and collecting piles of leaves with a rake.
