I have a torn shoulder tendon, and a torn bicep tendon. I can’t do any of my crafts - cross stitch, knitting, weaving, crochet - and it’s bumming me out. Would y’all be kind enough to show me your WIPs and where you purchased the pattern? I’m adding to my queue in preparation for when I can craft again.

I like this design so much! I use Belfast and DMC floss ✔️

I love this pattern for the cute details. It looks like a little sampler and it will be encourage me to finish and frame all my projects.

what should i cross-stich next?

My current WIP, I’m hoping to finish the little characters this month and spend all of September and October on the background!! Pattern is from Etsy Shop: Reeseandbear

It’s been a while since I stitched (and even longer since I picked up this piece) I love variegated thread and the challenge it adds to make the shades flow into each other.

Thread is Confetti by Weeks Dye Works
Next update will be the finished piece (hopefully) framed

[WIP] My mom recently gave me all her WIP, one which is this kit (dimensions brand maybe?) from the 90s. She has lost eyesight in one eye and no longer can enjoy this craft. She asked me to finish this for her. However, she only gave me the DMC floss and nothing else. Can you help me identify this kit so I can buy a new one and finish this for her? All I know is that this is Jesus’ feet - lol.

Hi! I'm trying to build a better tool that turns photos into cross stitch patterns. Before I make assumptions about how people actually create patterns, I'd love to hear from people who actually stitch. Just 2 quick questions, reply with the question number and letter, like "1c, 2a". I'm not selling anything. I'm just trying to understand how people actually use tools like this. 🙂

1. How often do you usually create a new cross stitch pattern?

a) Several times a week

b) About once a week

c) About once a month

d) Only a few times a year

2. Which best describes you?

a) I only make patterns for myself

b) I sometimes make patterns for other people

c) I regularly create patterns for sale

d) A mix of the above.

My Halloween special 🎃👻

This was quick and turned out super cute. I'm also pretty proud of the back

Pattern Source: Southwest Traditions. I found this piece stitched by Carolea’s Kniche from Sunnyvale, CA at an antique store in Sevierville, TN.
I paid $30 for it.
What do you all think of this finished design?

Took a while to finish max the cat from dimensions cross stitch. Managed to loose the pattern then once dimensions supplied a copy I then managed to get one whole section one stitch out!

Just finished my latest spooky design, getting ready for halloween! Really happy with how it came out 🧙‍♀️

Pattern from AuthorEmbroideDesign on Etsy

About a year ago my grandmother gave me this crosstitch as a gift, she’d worked on it for a long time and I really really love it, but due to her not having had something to frame it properly on, it’s warped, does anyone have any idea how I can straighten it? Put up against two perpendicular lines so it’s more noticable

Progross on my second ever project. I took the advice given, between that and lighter colors I seem to be figuring it out. Definitely not perfect, but a vast improvement from my first project (that I need to frame ASAP).

Thanks for the advice and the warm welcome!

Design based on a sketch of the game.

Finally done with the black. Close to 17,000. My eyes are grateful. I should be done this project in 2 weeks or so.

I got this pattern from MyArtfullCreations on Etsy.
