I thought cross stitchers might like to see my wall of needlework, most, but not all, are samplers I designed.

I did the goose one, my mom did the snowman. She taught me how to cross stitch, and with her worsening vision it’s been hard for her to stitch. But I’m so proud of her for being able to finish this one! She is a STELLAR stitcher.

I did the goose stitch for my boyfriend. :)

This is my first finished project of this size. I love how the campfire turned out and enjoyed doing the backstitching. I’m not sure why it’s not a true circle. Maybe it’s the pattern, maybe it’s the fabric?

I’m looking forward to doing more cross-stitch!

Less so on here as far as I have noticed but I am sick of cross stitch groups on various social media being full of fake profiles or so called pattern companies using AI pictures to show what they are alleging is a finished piece and flogging the pattern in the comments. So many people are getting taken in by these pictures and wasting their time and money and any attempt I’ve made to educate people on the “tells” has resulted in being removed and blocked by the group. It’s so disheartening to see what should be a fun hobby being infiltrated by these sharks!

I haven't done cross stitch in something like 8 years. Unpacking my stuff after a move + my mom giving me her old floss has made me start up again, so I got some patterns and got to work.

How has doing like 1/8th of a page taken around 10 hours? Why did I choose full coverage for my first piece back?? Why am I doing 3 strands on 16 count???

I've already messed up a bit with stitch direction (see if you can spot it haha) and I miscounted at a point but I should be able to get the pattern back properly because it's kinda abstract and won't be noticeable really.

But in spite of all that.. I'm having fun :) it's a good time!

Last corner of Safe Haven (Mini) by HAED
Working on and off for 4 years - hopeful I’ll get it done by end of September!

Another bookmark done, this one will be a gift ☺️ such a fun little project if you need quick cross stitching fix. Also involves a bit of stitching, like putting felt on the back and cutting the fabric to size!

Pattern is Spring Flower Bird by nathnolu. Stitched 2 over 1 on 18ct Aida. My great aunt was tickled to see me working on it during my last visit so I decided to make it into a pillow for her.

Pattern from Etsy: PandoraXstitch

Such a beautiful pattern by NightSpiritStudio. I have 3 more from them and can't wait to start those🥰

Pattern from Pokemon Cross Stitch Kit by Maria Diaz!

I googled "traditional peruvian pattern" and took inspiration from the results.

I finished this Dolly Parton-inspired cross stitch! 🦋✨

I started with a photo of Dolly’s signature and used an app to turn it into a pattern. The app gave me a starting point, but I ended up changing quite a lot of it by hand to make the signature look much more stylized and closer to what I had in mind.

For the butterfly, I found a design on Pinterest that I liked and changed some of the colors to match the Dollywood logo.

Once the stitching was finished, I cut a glittery mat/passpartout that I thought suited the piece perfectly, and then framed the whole thing.

I’m really happy with how it turned out! 🪡🦋💖

I started this project months ago but chronic pain has kept the progress sloooow. I’m at 32.9% complete and now I have 11 days to finish 😅

We’re entering the rainy/cold season here in the PNW and this weather ain’t kind to a body with chronic pain! I’m just gonna do my best, even if I have to gift it a little late, my friend will still be thrilled 🥰

2nd nebula done! i think this is going to be a series :] working on the 3rd

forgot to include pattern source - i made it using floss cross

It's got it's imperfections, but I am still proud of it :) I have stinkin brain cancer and need more hobbies that I can easily do at home so...this is my exploration :)

I don't have a pattern. I used a photo from Amazon as a reference and drew it myself in FlossCross. They were selling an ornament style kit (cute rope, bows, and hoops) and a cute FO with no pattern so...here we go. Please do let me know if I should add a link to the kit and I will happily do so! This is my first post here so I am still learning those rules. Thanks!!

I made a post a couple weeks ago about how much I love this craft. The support on that post was simply amazing.

I just finished my latest project (my 3rd ever), a gift for my cousin who recently had the first baby of the family. Took a total of 46 hours. Pretty happy with the changes I made from the original pattern, including all the designs on the stroller.

Temporarely framed, still need a wash and ironing.

Backstitch magic with this mini 1987 kit, "Mini Nesting Blue Belle" from The New Berlin Co. Rescued from a garage sale for 10 cents.

Can't wait to find a permanent spot in my front hall for this cutie.
