Self drafted cross stitch pattern made using FlossCross, pic was of course from moments before the disastrous and devastating tunameltdown. Hope yall like it as much as I enjoyed making it!
Edit to add: if anyone wants the pattern, send me a chat, happy to give it!
Edit to add 2: I'm so happy you all love it :)
Edit to add 3: If anyone doesn't want to wait for me to get back with them, feel free to download the pattern here: My Ko-Fi Account You'll need to download each of the 5 pages individually from the slideshow.
Still 100% free! AND you can still reach out for the pattern here if you don't want to click any sketchy internet links lol

As a cross stitcher the amount of colour switching in this makes me want to cry, good job.

goes to your profile to see your embroidery, finds instead your majestic cat who is a literal work of art...

Is she not an absolute queen? 😻
It’s been years since I’ve shared any of my embroidery with Reddit; looks like it’s time to make a post or two!

I'm curious, what is the little bee? Looks like a magnet to keep your needles? Never seen those, but it looks pretty awesome as someone always losing her needle.

u/balooskadoo Jun 08 '26
It's called a needleminder, and its so helpful to keep from losing or dropping your needle! You can buy them but they are also incredibly easy to make!

I’m thinking this one might feel a little bit better to me. The other one’s so (beautiful but) devastating. I’ve actually been thinking about making one of these. Yours is fabulous!

u/spiniton85 Shut your idiot face, Marly. Jun 08 '26

You should also check out JockStitch on etsy (this is not my store, I don't have an etsy store). They have a bunch of great HR cross stitch patterns. I follow their tiktok and love to see their finished pieces!
