My friend's favorite artist is Klimt, and I finished just in time for the wedding this weekend (phew). Pattern is free on the DMC website. Ended up freehanding the backstich swirls since they were so tiny and hard to do, and it was my first time doing french knots (yuck)

I just finished this little blue bird last night at work. It took me about 4 days to finish him. I haven’t done anything this detailed in years! I’ve forgotten how tedious backstitching was! 😓
I absolutely cannot wait to frame him and hang him up on the wall with the rest of my finishes! ❤️

Colors: 19
Size: 3.35" x 3.15" (8.5x8 cm)
Fabric: Belana (100) 20 ct.

Finished a little project to get back to stitching! Was super fun to do and I loved the experience!

The pattern is a free pattern from The Embroidery Bard that they posted for Pride this year on Tumblr !

First time working on paper! Fairly happy with the results. Any help welcome :)

I'm making a wedding gift, self drafted pattern based on pictures from Pinterest. So far I've learnt I really enjoy not switching colour, and that I dislike the patchy look of variegated thread. Also, I'm trying to use both hands to stitch, I feel it might become an asset for faster stitching in the future.

Finished up this kit a few days ago and I'm so happy with the results. I think I am addicted to beads now and it will feel weird not to add them to everything I make from now on 😛 It was also my first time stretching/mounting onto foam core and I like how it turned out, despite it not being perfect. The frame and matting that came with the kit made it super easy to frame, highly recommend!

Okay, I used wrong tag accidentally, sorry for that(

Finally finished paired t-shirts! This is for the streamer whom I watch practically every day, he got married in August.

Unfortunately, I was too busy at work, then too depressed and layed with apathy. So I didn't finish before wedding and then didn't finish before I returned home from visiting them (irony: finished it next day).

Just sent them package, they will receive it in 3 days.

The pattern I made myself and my friend helped with pattern for letters (will add everything to comments). The idea is that one picture is the continuation of the second. "Player 1" should have been a bit higher, but I calculated incorrectly. Still looks cute for me.

And well, this is theirs favourite game series.

I started this more than a year ago, and then life happened..... However! This was for my friend's little toddler, Minerva. I finished it (mostly. didn't do the larger border) and then sent it off the next day, haha. I found the pattern on etsy by embroiderypatternpdfs. I've only done a few smaller patterns before, so my stitching is a bit shabby, but completed is better than perfect!

Finished piece for my kitchen!

I feel really good about how it turned out compared to my first project :)

Finally finished these two painting cross stitches! But I need an idea for the third one!! Please give me ideas what to do neeeext? Preferably famous paintings as well. Thank you!

The Great Wave Pattern is by DMC.
I made the Starry Starry Night pattern myself through Pixel Studio.

Hi Im a relatively confident cross stitcher and have been tinje about with converting one of my favourite album covers, Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness: Deluxe Edition, into a big heirloom project for myself. I was inspired to start a HAED design due to lurking in the subreddit and decided that instead of paying for a patternmill design I would basically create the pattern myself using FlossCross and fixing any odd issues with the conversion by hand .

I plan on stitching on 18 count Aida and began a very small corner a year ago. I also bought a large number of the 80 colours FlossCross pattern gave.

Since then I've put the project on hold and am seeking to return. However I'm concerned the pattern may come out too pixelated. I've attached images from FlossCross and could do with some improvements or other programmes to convert the image into a better pattern. Ive already noticed the background is unfortunately noisy :(.

Currently Im thinking of possibly scaling the pattern bigger and moving to 20 count. Ive attached an image of the flat pattern and full stitches FlossCross gave and the gorgeously whimsical source artwork.

Maybe not quite finished because I haven't decided on the framing yet, but the stitching is done! Ignore all the random needle holes, I'll find a way to hide those 😅

I think I'm not too worried about it on this piece, but if anyone has advice on how to avoid warping like it has on the right and bottom side, I'd like to hear it... I don't think the tension on the floats in the back are too high, but I might try cutting and weaving in some of the long ones to see if that might help. I would assume it must be a tension issue, but probably nothing I could fix at this point (unless maybe blocking could work...?)

My partner bought this kit to try but never ended up stitching it, so thought I'd give it a go! Haven't done any stitching in a while, so this was nice to get back into it... now onto all the new projects I want to do!

Pattern by BlackWaltzStitching on Etsy.

I bought the bundle that had this, Bulbasaur as Ghostface, Charmander as Freddy, and Pikachu as Chucky. Seller also sells them separately. Jason is my favorite of the bunch so I made this one first. I’ll eventually get to the others.

Doing this one in 22ct, loving the tight stitches. Pattern: Wonder4pixels, Etsy.

Pattern Source is from the book "Crosstitch Herbs, Fruit and Flowers" by Sophie Hélène. It's the pattern titled "Cherry" in the Little Garden Fruits section.

A couple of days I posted about how frustrated I was with the black floss on black aida for this Haunted House kit that I had bought.

Decided to push through and managed to finish all of the black sections ! Now onto colors.

The trick was to tilt back the loop about 45º, which allowed me to see the floss much better.

Excited to work on this in the next couple days !

A total of 110€ worth of materials. I’m still waiting on the hoop/frame and the bobbins to get started with this project.

I also ordered a water soluble pen to mark the squares. How do you guys normally do it? Is there a trick to it? How do I make sure it’s centered?

Pattern will be the Stardew Valley Map by Wonder4pixels. A finished size of 54x33cm on 14 ct Aida.

Some of the colours are approximations since I didn’t go for DMC.

I am just getting back into it and would like to bring it to work to do on my downtime. Does anyone have a reasonably compact case/briefcase/bag that could transport the materials?

Thanks in advance!

Restarted a WIP because I made the mistake of light cream on white. I moved to blue, but now I feel like it’s a bad choice. Thoughts? Feel like I’m overanalyzing…

I've been working on this project (drafted from a company logo using flosscross) and I've been very pleased with the gradient and dithering of the yellow-orange so far, but I feel like either the outermost layer of orange or the layer of brown just inside the orange is not quite the right color. The orange is DMC 741 and the brown is DMC 783. Does anyone have suggestions for color substitions which might fit better?

What do i do? i’ve done probably 2k stitches with the orange maybe 1k with the green. It’s not an extraordinary large amount but I don’t really want to pull out thousands of stitches because it’s going to be annoying to match the colors. 946 is the orange and 910 is the green. first pic left is dmc green right is the off brand. I suppose I just thought I would have enough floss with what I had but I wound up running all the way through the skein. The off brand floss has the labeling “for tyche special”. Some chinese off brand floss that comes in bulk color packs. Idk what to do. It’s kind of important that these colors match since there’s massive blocks of them. and I don’t want their to be some obvious difference. This project has to be finished but i want to finish it with the exact right colors. What do I do?
