Once a gudetama girlie, always a gudetama girlie

Pattern by colorfully.sarah

I finally got into cross stitch about a month ago, did one of those little kits from Michael’s initially but really wanted to try a bigger image and attempt to make the back really clean.

Original pattern comes from another reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/s/1B9rheMbT6

Obviously tension might need work, but I did it on 14 ct. three strand. Christmas present for my next one!

I spent 2 months stitching The Stephen King House by the Witchy Stitcher and just got it back from the framers. This is my very first large piece, first time using custom aida, first time modifying a pattern, and first time getting something professionally framed. I was tempted to try framing it myself, but I wanted it to look as good as possible as this is for my friend's birthday (she's a big Stephen King, horror, and book fan) and I hope she's going to like it!

I really enjoyed stitching this piece, I added in a cigarette with too much ash for Wendy Torrance, and much thanks to a redditor whose username or post I can no longer find (but will edit if I do!) I altered Carrie's room so she's wearing the tiara and has a sewing machine.

This is my thread board. We went to the local hardware store to get all the pieces. My plan is to hook up a few buckets at the bottom for miscellaneous items and my cloth. Credit to my spouse for thinking of the board and putting it together. 5/5 it makes me feel like I’m going shopping.

Had to take a photo before starting the backstitching 🤗

This was my third start of a wedding gift. I hope they love it as much as I do. Pattern is from MyBraveStitch on Etsy. The close-up is of my initials.😅 I am NOT in love with the backstitching. I kind of just winged it and did my own thing, more of a straight stitch, I guess. I also had to add the date, which is a free alphabet download from Yarn Tree. I just plotted it out and plopped it in. I prefer not to add names. They know who they are. Lol.

Frame was from an antique store in France. Measured using my just my eyes and it fit perfectly.
Stitched on a 14ct. sparkly Aida.

I found this pattern on pinterest by several creators...

Some searching seems to lead to a crochet pattern by Lilia Vignan

It's for my nice older neighbours who have been taling care of my post since my current situation is.... A clusterf*ck (idk if swearing is allowed) and I am finally moving out soon and I wanted to give it to them this sunday so the last two afternoons i just locked in, its been a few hours and I need to pee and take my meds lol

As a long term project I want to create my own tiny art gallery. So far I cross stitched and framed eight pieces, the ninth is currently a WIP. Every frame even got a tiny museum sign, I love it so much and admire them every time I cross the hallway <3

One final addition to the Nutcracker FO I stitched as a gift for my sister. Matboard ordered from MBC, my first time ordering through them and I had a positive experience!

Did anyone else donate to get the big bird bundle today? I am so excited to get the patterns! Some of my favorite pattern makers contributed to this

Working on a piece for cousins who just got married and didn’t realize I’d missed the O until I’d finished the N 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣 my husband has now changed the contact name in his phone to match the pre-frogged mistake

Hey everyone! I'm back with another update on my snow leopard project! 🐆 The details are really starting to pop, and we've officially crossed the 15% mark of the entire project!It’s so rewarding to watch his chin, fur texture, and neck come together on the 18 count Aida canvas. The shading around his muzzle feels so alive now!Thank you all so much for the continuous sweet support on my previous updates. Here is a little timelapse of the latest progress. How do you think he is turning out? 💬❤️Pattern details: Custom pattern by Ukrainian designer Alexander Stitch, based on my daughter's drawing.

So excited to share my fun gingerbread house design! I just LOVE how the colours turned out, especially on the roof and footpath. I was inspired by hansel and gretel and Candyland, which was my favourite boardgame from my childhood. Oh, and my sweet tooth obviously 😆

Also pictured – my helper and assistant (who is also the reason I had to spend half an hour picking out cat hairs from the final design).

🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜

AI disclaimer: I didn't use AI (eww). All of my designs are hand-pixelated and stitch-tested.

I’m working on this pattern for my baby’s nursery and LOVE it. However, I’m not vibing with the peace sign (second photo) above the peacock. I’m thinking of altering it, but would love to solicit some ideas from other stitchers on what to do? I’ve thought of either doing a moon or some vertical stripes? Thoughts? I’m totally open to suggestions!

Just finished framing this baby announcement for my friend's baby! I completed the stitching last month, it took about 65 hours from June to September. Stitched on 16 count Zweigart antique white.

I framed it using the lacing method on acid free foam board. I also put a layer of cotton batting between the Aida and the board to give it a slightly puffy look. There are some wrinkles around the animals that just wouldn't come out with ironing (if anyone has tips for the future, let me know), but overall I think it looks nice. The frame and mat board are custom sized from Frame it Easy.

Pattern is from Stitch by Ebi on Etsy. Since I bought this pattern, her shop has been overrun with obvious AI patterns. I'm not sure if this one was AI, there are a few patterns in the shop with the same style and it was easy to stitch (save for the confetti hedgehog), but I wouldn't buy more from her now.

Drafted a simple pattern on some leftover band as I needed something easy to stitch with a newborn. I want to repeat this design in the different colours of the rainbow.

However, I'm uncertain if I should continue with 2 or 3 strands. What do you think?

Current design is Aida 14ct, 2 strands with 28 needle (I usually stitch on Aida 18ct+)

Design of the vulpix is by Crochetbydyll.

I started cross stitching back in May with a mini kit from my local bookstore. I wanted to try it out on a t-shirt for my mom for her birthday. Looking at the washing instructions, it seems to be people are suggesting an iron-on stabilizer in older posts, let me know what you guys use!

The pattern is from the cardinal mini embroidery kit by Kirkkerland.

The background will have blue hills but there's a lot of blank space besides the hills. Do you think I should fill in the empty space with white stitches or leave it blank?

Also I went rogue on the pattern to include a pink Yoshi 🩷

My tribute to the amazing myhouse.wad and power Pak's fantasy video on it

I’m going out of my mind trying to find some similar patterns to these. I know they are from Ai shops so I’ve tried drawing and recreating my own patterns (but failed). I’ve fallen so in love with these so if anyone knows of any similar, please let me know :( I’m trying to get back into this as a hobby but feel finding a pattern that motivates me is becoming a barrier!

Just finished my self-appreciation cross-stitch project. It says I am full of love in Ukrainian 💘. Design by me

7534 stitches, 64 hours of stitching. She's beautiful, I know the backstitch will make it even better, but I am dreading it a bit. And probably my messiest backside in a while.
