The Beauty Is In The Choices We Make
The Beauty Is In The Choices We Make
Introducing Anabella’s Curated Cottagecore & Americana Thread Collections
There comes a moment in every stitcher’s journey when something quietly shifts.
You stop worrying so much about stitching a design exactly as charted…
and you begin asking yourself:
✨ What if I changed this color?
✨ What if I softened this palette?
✨ What if I stitched this piece to feel more like me?
That’s the heart behind our brand new curated thread collections.
Not just beautiful floss.
Not just carefully selected colors.
But permission.
Permission to experiment.
Permission to trust your instincts.
Permission to create something uniquely yours.
Because there is no cross stitch police.
Only creativity, joy, and the freedom to stitch what you love.
Why I Created These Collections
Over the years, I’ve watched so many stitchers hesitate to make changes.
They’ll say things like:
- “I’m afraid I’ll ruin it.”
- “What if the colors don’t work?”
- “I wish I knew how to choose floss better.”
- “I love the design… but I wish it felt more like my home.”
And honestly?
I used to feel that way too.
But some of my very favorite finishes happened when I finally became brave enough to make small changes:
- swapping a single color
- softening a palette
- removing a motif
- adding something meaningful
- changing a seasonal feel
- creating warmth where I wanted warmth
- creating softness where I wanted softness
That’s where the idea for I Made It Mine™ was born.
The belief that cross stitch becomes even more meaningful when it reflects you.
Curated With Intention
These new collections were lovingly curated using beautiful Classic Colorworks flosses selected to work together effortlessly.
Each collection contains:
🧵 12 hand-selected skeins
🧵 Coordinated tonal balance
🧵 Soft contrast and layering
🧵 Flexible palette options
🧵 Endless mix-and-match possibilities
But most importantly…
They were designed to help you feel confident.
Because choosing colors can feel overwhelming sometimes.
So instead of staring at hundreds of floss options wondering what works together, these collections give you a starting point — a beautiful, balanced palette already designed to inspire creativity.

No two stitchers create exactly the same finish — and that’s what makes this art form so special.
