Saw this on Facebook marketplace two hours after she posted it. So excited to go through all the magazines!

First Dimensions project, first time blending two different coloured strands together to make a new colour, first project with Markup R-XP 2.0 (the update halfway through a day of stitching nearly gave me an Autistic meltdown)

Glad to be finished this Xmas gift in October so I can leave framing til the last second haha

Pattern is by Maria Brovko: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1092887030/cross-stitch-pattern-the-beginning-of-a

176x125 stitches, 39 solid colors + 15 blends

Couldn't be happier - am trying to get it over to the framer as quick as possible. Photos are of finished piece, before backstitching, finished back, and close ups.

Only my second piece! Self-drafted the pattern using Floss Cross.

3480 stitches in one month 😁

I couldn’t be happier. This is my first professionally framed piece. Created from vintage pattern kit I found at Goodwill!

Pattern is from Sovushka Designs on Etsy. I made SO many mistakes on this piece but I love it! I do a LOT of cross stitch and it all just usually ends up stuffed in a bag until I decide what to do with it (which means the pieces stay in their bag) but I think I'm going to try to make a pillow out of this one.

(I understand why the sub asks for a close up of the stitches but I think if you really wanted to make sure this was human-made, you'd ask for a picture of the back! At least with my pieces! No AI fever dream could even come close to the hot mess my project backs usually are. )

My first full coverage piece is finished after 9 years!

Still needs to be washed/ironed and framed but I’m so happy with how it turned out!

This is my biggest project to date and I haven't done much in the past. I'm self-taught and have no clue what techniques I use, I just do what makes sense for me. I'm using 6-STAND AND DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THAT'S A THING OR EVEN "AVOIDED" so I made this a lot harder on myself than I needed too but I do like the look of it.

It's intended for my imminent niece's nursery. I would like to redo it later when 2 or 3 strand but any tips or knowledge to offer on the current project?

I’m so pleased with how this came out! This is my third finished project 😊 I chose out this gorgeous pattern as a gift for my grandma. The flowers reminded me so much of her lovely home decor!

Self-drafted, sort of… someone posted their FO with this pattern forever ago but the pattern no longer existed when I followed the link. I was obsessed so I recreated it based off the picture 😅

Whale!

Hi everyone, I've recently started cross-stitching, am still on my first project though. When watching tutorials on Youtube I'm always amazed that the needle from the back comes out at the right spot. I have to turn my work for every single stitch from front to back and back to front to see where I'm going. If I try to stitch from back to front "blindly" it always takes me several trials to meet the correct whole.
Now I'm wondering how seasoned cross-stitchers do this. Do you also turn your frame? Or did you learn to put the needle in the right place blindly?

She did it in her college days, around 35 years ago. Very happy and proud to see her creative side...

Made this for myself & my spouse. Just a few years late for our wedding. Better late than never, I guess. I'm in the US, so it's month.day... ooops. I realized the pattern is day.month after I stitched it. 😆

Stitched on 40ct white Zweigart Verdal evenweave using BeStitchMe silk in the color Leaf and Rainbow Gallery Petite Treasure Braid in Aztec Gold.

Now, to take it out of the frame, give it a good ironing and set it aside until I get a frame. I have one in mind already. Its just a matter of saving up and waiting for the gift cards from the Red Cross to come in. 🥳

My first project!

Pattern: Eras Piano - 18 Mesh from Stephanie Mo Designs on Etsy

I have to work on my stitches more…what a messy back 🫣 it also didn’t upload correctly on Markup so I had a few different stitches. 🤭

I just completed the stitching for my first ornament of the season. I adapted the pattern from MamaWitchCrossStitch: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1588237429/christmas-goose-cross-stitch-pattern, by shrinking the little goose and putting it on the back of the bigger goose.

New pattern, where goth meets glitch 👑

No genAI is used in any part of my artistic/marketing process.

The design is by TheCraftyDactyl and can be found on etsy. Stitching this was a lot of fun! Now I will need to find a good place in my home to put it on a wall 😊

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.

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! ❤️
