What do you get when you cross a newly released album by a band in Nashville, with a cross-stitching artist in Toronto? This:
Ahhh, I love this video … a visual artist in action while musical artists play in the background. Yes, this is Old Dominion‘s new album, “Happy Endings”, and the cross-stitching dynamo who you just saw recreating the cover is Toronto based stitcher Caitlin Sailor {aka Cross-Stitching with Caitlin Workshops}. The original was designed/stitched by an Alabama based artist named Dawn Sylvester, and to celebrate the international release of the album, Sony Music Canada reached out to Caitlin and asked her to recreate the CD cover as a 12″x12″ {the size of a vinyl album} original piece to be given away to one lucky person… see where this is going? Yep, they asked me to give this gorgeous original to one of you! This framed beauty AND a “Happy Endings” CD is destined to be owned by one of you. I told you… music and art and love all rolled into one! Just leave a comment below and I’ll draw one name on Tuesday October 3rd, 2017 … happy ending, indeed!
That looks amazing! So homey and cozy! Thanks for sharing, you posts are always a great read!
Bigfoot IS real
2017 has been the year of country music and cross stitching for me – I must win!
This is awesome! As someone who has done a lot of cross stitch, I especially love this ❤
So absolutely fabulous!! I love how they incorporated her working on the album art with the release. So special and well done…
Lovely, lovely! an heirloom piece!
Such a groovy idea for an album/cd cover. And so beautifully stitched. Wonderful workmanship!
Is there anything cooler than cross stitching?! Caitlin taught me how to cross stitch when I attended one of her first workshops and it would be such a thrill to win this adorable and badass piece!
Love seeing embroidery in general being raised up as the art form it deserves!
As an embroiderist my heart sings that an album cover is not only promoting some lovely countrymusic but also the love for swinging ones needle and creating something special.
pick me! pick me!
pretty please???

Gorgeous ❤️❣️❤️artwork.Living close to Nashville and loving its music scene.And the 3rd of October is our22nd wedding anniversary.I wish us luck ❤️. And THANK YOU for such a great giveaway ❤️
Art + music = perfect combo!
I love this. Makes me feel homesick for Canada, especially because autumn is so beautiful there. Canada, cross-stitch, AND music. At the very least I now have a new band and new artist to check out! Win-win!
I love this! Heading to Nashville over thanksgiving… maybe I’ll get to hear old dominion live! ❣️
This is very cool!✨
This is so cool! There should totally be more collars like this. PS My husband would die if I won this… his favorite country guys.
That was supposed to be collaborations… ♀️
Super-cool cross-stitch and song!
I work on the music industry (photographer) and this is by far the most creative and inspiring piece of music-related art I’ve seen in a long time (or ever!). Caitlin has me thinking about embroidery in ways I’ve never before considered. Thank you for sharing – and for the opportunity to add this album cover to my music / art collection.
This is delightful, cross-stitch and music, perfect!!
I LOVE Old Dominion! Every since their Meat and Candy cd I have listened to them practically everyday! Love their new cd Happy Endings!! When I first seen their cd cover I couldn’t believe it because it was done in cross stitch! I love to cross stitch too, but havent had time lately to do my fav hobby. I would LOVE to win this beautiful piece of art ! Caitlin you made it perfect!!
So cute!!! Love it!
This is so cool you are an amazing artist just like old dominion it would be an honor for me to have this thank you for giving us the opportunity to win it
Such a great band, album, and album cover! Love this!
This is absolutely amazing!!!
It’s a beautiful piece to accompany an amazing album! Great work Caitlin! Nothing less for my favorite band!
Wow! You are so talented. Love the re-created album cover. Love Old Domion! -Lexington, VA
Aw, that’s gorgeous! Your talent makes me want to cry. It’s obvious you recreated the album cover with a lot of love & it should be passed along to someone who will cherish it – that’s me! It’ll look GREAT on my mantle next to my OD guitar pick. Love our band so much!. ❤️
Love this!! Cross-stitching used to be one of my hobbies! I seriously need to get back into it. This is beautiful!
Caitlin, love your work! I once was an avid cross-stitcher, but I lost the passion somewhere along the way. I agree on the structure of the art, love. Would be an honor to win this piece of art in celebration of ODs fabulous work of art #HappyEndings!❤️
Fingers crossed.

Such an awesome piece of art! I love seeing the music from Old Domion come to life in this sampler! Well done!!
This is amazing! I love these guys and all they do. Fantastic artists, song writer, and people. I remember when no one knew who they were and I still thought they were brilliant. Glad the rest of the world is catching up 😉
What an amazing piece of art! I love how you were able to bring Old Dominion’s songs to life! Old Dominion is my favorite band and I am so thankful you were able to create this art to seamlessly complement their music!
AMAZING!
I love love love this!!! I am hoping to one day to be as talented as you!!! I have only been cross stitching for 2 years!! Cross stitching is my relaxing time and gives me such pleasure when it is completed!! Old Dominion is from my home state, my county even from my high school!!! Two things I love in one shot…cross stitch and Old Dominion!!!
Your work is incredible! Crossing my fingers to win this gorgeous piece!!
Love this!!! ❤️
This.Is.Awesome. Seeing them on Wednesday for an album release party and would LOVE to win this. Thanks for the opportunity! 🙂
Music + cross-stitching = super cool and cute combination 😉 actually makes me think how would some other cd covers look in the cross-stitching version.
Thanx for sharing and for a give away.
Love your blog and podcast!!! ❤️ I hope I win!
This is amazing! Being a graphic designer I can understand how much effort probably went into their album design cover and the fact that you took the time to figure out how to recreate it is amazing t me. There is so much little detail in this piece of art and you nailed it! From top to bottom! I’ve been following old dominion since their first song came on xm and I’ve now seen them three times, follow them on every form of social media and all I can say about them is their just amazing with their music they have an ability to get the same story across that so many other artist have already done but in such a different way! Such as this album cover who would think to do this? No one else. Amazing work once again !
AWESOME CROSS STITCHING! amazing work!
I LOVE this album!!!!
This album and this band and this visual artist just make me happy.
wonderful music, beautiful art!
Such talent! ❤️ the cross stitch and the music!
Congratulations to Caitlin for doing such a great job creating this beautiful replica of the album. Of course congratulations to Old Dominion for all of your well deserved praise for a phenomenal album.

Every time you post something traditionally considered more “folk” or a “craft” and it’s made into beautiful art I get walk to my Philosophy of Aesthetics class with more of a spring in my step. Thank you for that. 🙂
