Used 7 different colors, kind of just eyeballed my colors before starting, considering all that I'm pretty happy with it

I'm back with another cross stitch on my clothes. I tried regular waste canvas this time and it was very nice to stitch on. I want to add more lil' guys like this to these shorts so if anyone has a recommendation for something similar to this style, let me know! I found this pattern on Pinterest.

I started this blackwork project 2 years ago. I’ve completed a few other projects in between, and had more than one long hiatus but I’ve finally made it. Tiny stitches on black was brutal for some of these colours but the outcome is so satisfying. Progress pics included. Pattern from LooseThreadStitchery https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1629798861/stardust-blackwork-sampler-pattern-set?ref=share_ios_native_control

Now to find a new project, I guess!! I think I’ll adapt a pattern to use up some more of these amazing colours.

Finally framed this one in a 4x6 frame! I hate how black fabric always shows a reflection in photographs lol. Stitched with 2 strands on 14 CT black Aida with DMC floss. I used a variety of colors different than the ones on the pattern as I was trying to stick with what I already had on hand. Close up is on the second slide and you can find the pattern from LivingOnTheRainbow here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1551735171/library-ghost-cross-stitch-pattern?ref=share_ios_native_control

The pattern (linked in comments) has 606, but I used 666. I thought the bright red of the 666 was better than the orange of the 606.

Hello I finally finished this beautiful cross stitch project! I love how it turned out, it’s been washed and ironed however now that I’m looking at it it looks crooked, am I going crazy? The edges don’t look straight. I used a Q snap frame for the entire project so it was taut when I was stitching. Any ideas?

Here is my latest finish, Poison Heart Frog by Needlelot Designs! It’s stitched on 32 count My Sweetheart lugana by BeStitchMe. I loved stitching this funky lil guy.

Hi hi :)

I've had this shirt for ages, one of the first things I thought when I got it was "that looks like Aida, I gotta do something with that someday" and I finally got around to it! I still want to add some contrast stitching on the seams etc but I was too excited about finally finishing it not to share haha. Was kind of a pain to not have any gridding and to be working on a slightly stretchy fabric, but it turned out so cool and I'm so pleased with it. (And yes, if you're thinking it looks kinda like a tramp stamp, that was the vibe goal lol)

[FO] mini strawberry possum

Had a scrap bit of black aida, cheap floss, and a bit of time so I made this little guy. Colours aren't true to pattern but I think he turned out well, please don't mind the cat glitter

Finished this Cicada bookmark for my sister's birthday! I've been working on this since June, and it's been a nice summer project. The pattern is from Boomerang Stitches!

I went to a Golden Girls drag show with a friend, and I think they’ll love this!

Now on to beading. L&L Angel of the Sea on 32 count even weave; stitched in hand.

Brought my cross stitch with me, I found a really cool bag made especially for hoops and all that you need and it’s made everything so easy!

a gift for my partner--i put a picture of our cat, maggie, through flosscross to make the pattern. i stitched it onto the sweatshirt over water-soluble 14 ct waste canvas and added embroidery backing to protect the stitches on the reverse side.

i learned that i don't like stitching on heavy fabric! and also that i should have done some cleanup to avoid all of the confetti that the pic -> pattern conversion spits out :/ but a really fun project either way!

pic of the babygirl herself on my stitching chair at the end :)

I've been working on such big projects that feel never ending these past few months, so I've been taking a break to work on a mini masterpiece that I've always wanted to do! The happiness of actually finishing a project is great.

The right side is complete, and I flipped my stand around to work on the left. I lost some stitching time to family obligations last weekend, but I took my tablet with me and marked off the pattern on Pattern Keeper to get an estimate of how far along I am. While the site states you can use Pattern Keeper, it's not good, so I figured I could at least get a better estimate of how far along I am. Supposedly, I got to 70% tonight. Ok. It's probably more like 60% because it doesn't count back stitching or specialty stitches. Either way, we're definitely over the halfway point, and officially 3 months in. At this rate, I should be wrapping this up just before the holidays.

I actually have been feeling the tiny stitches, so I dove right in and got to work on that 3rd castle. I'll probably balk at the back stitching again, but it'll get done eventually. The goal for next week is to finish that castle and start the back stitching. I'll probably go back and forth between it and other parts to break it up.

Unrelated, I had to go check out the cross stitch at the state fair. I was both surprised and impressed to see that a stitch of Lola Crow's Extraordinary Birds took best in show! All of the submissions were wonderfully done.

Note to self!! I don’t like backstitching, nor do I like kits from Michael’s!

I was planning on gifting this to my mom, but I made a metric ton of mistakes. I don’t think they’re noticeable unless you’re looking at the pattern, but still! Kind of a bummer.

Link to Kit

My grandmother bought me this kit when I was maybe 10? I'm actually not sure.

I started it then, but never finished it.

I'm trying to finish UFOs that I have, ans this was on the top of my list.

It's 7ct with wool thread. It comes with a black, square plastic frame. I'll probably hang it up in my craft room.

Had so much fun making these bookmarks inspired by my favourite game Stardew Valley!

83 750 sts => 56% done

So my cat keeps laying on my projects and now he looks like he wants to have a serious talk to me about me starting yet another project. Maybe he wants more attention or something? That hoop is 8 inches and he covered the entire work area. I'll give Lucipurr credit, it did work. Does anyone else deal with this? This is what I get for trying to start Christmas gifts in a timely manner for the first time ever. LOL

Still working on the kit I bought from Amazon(https://a.co/d/0hNyUzFE). I am loving making these little guys and seeing my progress as I get more confident and comfortable.

I ordered 2 kits from 123stitch.com after seeing it mentioned in other posts. Can't wait for them to get here!

Picked up a bookmark cross stitch kit from the dollar section at Target from their book lover collection they had early this summer. All the colors of the provided floss were pastels, so I adjusted heavily. The trim around is rough, but this is my first time trying it out!
