Super tiny and not at all perfect, but it was a lot of fun! I underestimated how long this would take though lol.

Hello! I just started cross-stitching and am really enjoying the process. I just finished these two little pieces as gifts for my young nieces.

It took 6 months, but my first cross-stitch project in 25 years is finally done!

Pattern is Summer Sky Glass by Carolyn Manning Designs. The photos and lighting don't capture the differences between the light yellow, pink, blue, and white very well.

Loved it so much that I already have another from that series in the works to create a framed pairing. Eventually. Hopefully next year not in another 25...

Sorry kind of new to this so idk what to do. I don’t know what else to call this but it’s a section of all one color except like sprinkles of this other color. How do I stitch this? One at a time and tie out each time? Or just have a crazy back with the threads going everywhere? Or what should I Google for a how to video on this? TIA!

Pattern is from Carousel Horses in cross-stitch by Donna Cooler. This is the November thanksgiving horse… The book was published in the 1990s, hence the racial stereotypes that Im obviously not planning to include, but as I want to have all 12 horses, Im not going to skip the pattern entirely. Im planning on removing the bears, and feathers from the horse/frame, but would love to hear anyone else’s opinion on what to edit or remove to make it less offensive. Any tips on how to actually fill the edited space would also be greatly appreciated.

From a photo of a pretty smoky evening during fire season. You can see my technique of holding the hoop up to my monitor to get a good composition 😂

Has anyone seen a similar sampler that has just the initials? It almost looks like initials on top of initials.

Honestly I'm a bit emotional about this... is that normal?? I've been working on this for 9 months on and off and I can't believe it's finally done.

This is only my 3rd FO overall but has taken by far the longest!

Absolutely loved stitching this one.

Pattern: Luda by Mirabilia

I eliminated the gold border and gold beads/backstitch in the vinok.

Fabric hand dyed by me.

Finally finished and put up these two. They have been sitting since January but they are now on my wall.

Quick little finish today whilst watching the World Cup, bit of the Beatles!!

Friends encouraged me to stop here 😂

Pattern made on a random cross stitch text generator on CrossStitch.com

Well my husband left for his first deployment on the 1st. He’ll be gone up to 9 months. Decided to create a daily tracker and landed on turds as my symbol 🤣 the top color is how my day went and the bottom color is how our 4 children’s day went.

Gonna be a long road 😮‍💨

This just delights me and I’ll wear it with pride. I hope whoever made it was proud, their work is very neat
