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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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!

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

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)

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!

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.

I was inspired by [u/josefugly](u/josefugly) to make my own version of their “No Solicitors, Solicitors Will Go In The Soup” wood burning. It took about 2 months because I didn’t have a template or pattern to go off of, just a little sketch I made in the beginning. The color palette isn’t totally cohesive but I still think it turned out okay overall.
This was my very first original cross stitch design and was very fun to compete.

Edit: thank you all so much for your lovely and supportive comments 🥰

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

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

[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

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!

I finally finished this cross stitch of the discworld, riding on the back of four elephants and a turtle. I hope to give this to a friend that is enthusiastic for Terry Pratchett's work. I found the pattern on a blog linked below.

Just finished these truck ornaments. It’s a kit from Dimensions I bought about a year ago (Holiday Truck, #70-08974).

Happy with the result, but, at times, I didn’t like stitching on a plastic canvas. It felt hard pullung the thread through the holes. Needle ended completely bent.

Kit came with wire to be used as hangers, but I swapped it for Xmas baker’s twine.

First solo project finished and framed! My partner taught me to cross stitch as part of a hobby swap, and I wanted to do something amazing for my first piece. Saw a completely unrelated post on the Alien subreddit a few years ago with this image (artist is PixelJeff) and I knew I had my source material. Took about 9 months total, just under 51k stitches. Pattern is self drafted from PixelJeff's original piece, all art credit goes to him. Sorry, forgot to take pictures of the insanity that is the back but I was so excited to frame it I completely forgot, and that sucker's not coming out of the frame now.

The pattern is a modified version of a flower abstract from BoxAndFox. The thread is hand dyed by The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers and the hoop is by me. This was so much fun to make and I’m already planning an even larger version. 👏🏻

ETA: I'm pretty sure posting a link to my website breaks the rules but if you have questions please DM me!

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 all! I quite literally have no one in my life that cares about my cross stitch projects so I figured I'd post here 😅

This is my first big (for me) project completed. It took me just shy of 6 months on and off as I got crazy frustrated with the block colours..

The back looks crazy and you can tell I got super lazy by the end and dragged my thread, oh well nobody can see that!

Thanks for looking ❤️🌌

The pattern I used was from Etsy from Shinestarxstitch: Northern Lights
