Made this for my friend’s birthday

My area is experiencing false spring these past couple of days and warmed up to the 70s. A few weeks ago it was in the teens. I was able to use like half of the temperature colors just in the first month 😂. I'm excited to see the full color spread as the year continues!

The full potion bottle temperature pattern is fron TeenyWeenyXStitch on etsy!

Hello all.

The first price I ever started on, a large scale Game of Thrones map I downloaded off SpriteStich many moons ago.

In my noob infancy I only left 1 inch around all 4 sides. I am currently 1/2 way through it, but haven't touched it in over 3 years now, due to my little mistake.

I made a cross stitch for my mum and dis the same and the picture framer said he has a hard time getting it sat right as there wasn't enough spare fabric, he said at least 3 inches is best.

So basically I am asking is there a way of salvaging this piece I've spent about a year working on, or should I start again on a much larger piece of aida?

Over-the-weekend finish, super easy and quick with just 3 colours! Very cute frame but so hard not to warp the pattern 😭

I bought this linen about 15 years ago and have recently found that this company is no longer in business. I need one more pack like this. The color is Linen Oyster. The size is 30 X 36. I’ve searched and can only find a smaller size. If anyone has a pack somewhere in your stash, I will gladly buy it from you! Or if anyone finds a link to it online, I would really appreciate it. Thank you all!

I want to put it on a t shirt for my husbands birthday using waste canvas - we lost our lovely cat in December and it'd mean so much to him

First (big) project after starting cross stitch basically in the new year. Started on this about 2 weeks ago. Pattern (https://www.etsy.com/nl/listing/1329148598/wapens-van-maniakken-kruissteekpatroon) officially is just with black but thought I'd add in some appropriate colours.

I just wanted to share my temperature bookshelf and see how other projects are going since it's the last day of January!

I saw the cutest temperature cross stitch on New Year's Day, bought a template from KristisCornerNeedle on Etsy, and ordered some products to go with the embroidery thread I had from my mom.

This is the biggest thing I've ever cross stitched and my first time not using a kit. It's already going significantly better than the year I decided to learn to crochet a temperature blanket. I'm very excited to add to it each day/every few days.

My sibling mentioned that I have a lot of open spots between my stitches, probably by pulling too hard at the thread.

Perhaps the coverage of the black and dark green is not optimal (doesn't help that it's etoille as well), but is that not bound too happen when stitching on white?

So, could I actually improve things or is my sibling overly critical on something that is handmade?

I thought Jobelan was like an alternative to lugana so I ordered some because 123Stitch didn't have the color lugana I needed. I find the Jobelan has like a plastic texture and a sheen? Is it supposed to be like that? Do I need to wash it to make it better?

Hello, I am looking for a group near the Columbus, Ohio area that does Cross stitch and has weekly or monthly meetings. I am also wondering if any of these groups go on retreats throughout the year as well.
