The pattern is from HappyCrossStitchers in etsy. This piece is for my nephew of my fiancé for Christmas. I''m Not Sure If I Put it in an frame or sew it to an pillow. For a pillow it's a little bit to big, I think...(19x25cm)

The only local place, near me, that has a decent selection of threads is hobby lobby. I am looking for a site we're i can buy specific colors at specific sizes. Can anyone help me?

My grandma had cross-stitched the stocking on the left for me when I was born. I found the same kit online and made another for my husband!

Kit is a Vintage Bucilla Twas the Night Before Christmas Stocking kit I bought on eBay.

This was so much fun! I love how well woodcuts translate to cross stitch.

A quick stitch for a Christmas present for my sister. I had a lot of fun with it! Pattern is Christmas Rat by Hambo Made on Etsy. I bought it a while ago and am slowly making my way through my backlog of patterns!

Any suggestions for how to finish it? I’ve seen mini hoops that might be cute. Maybe with a red ribbon to hang it by…

Pattern can be found on her Boosty or VK, cannot link them on Reddit sorry.

I bought a pattern to stitch for my boyfriend as part of his xmas gifts, but its in Wolverine's colors. Wolverine's is fine but I'm kind of going with a little bit of a Lions theme for his gifts and wanted to stick with that if I could. I'm just not sure what colors to go with for that and google hasn't been much help. Thank you in advance for any help!

Just wondering, I purchased an order off Esty and have heard of sellers creating patterns that were made from AI or generators. What are some things to look out for? Thanks.

He’s just a cute little cotton candy guy. My nieces got this pattern book and I decided I wanted to stitch a long with them. I opted for French knots for the eyes over the standard x.

Adding a hoop would just make to way to large. Of course I used fabric before I decided what to do with it. Any ideas are appreciated!

I am just getting into designing and stitching plastic canvas patterns. Does anyone have any advice on how to stitch faster?

Edit: i was unable to find anything in the FAQ.

Soooo... who's doing the Heaven & Earth SAL for 2025? I'm doing the pretty blue flowers with the fairy, though I'm debating cropping the fairy out. You only have to complete 4 (edit: I've been corrected that it's 6) pages to get the bonus, and I think the fairy is maybe slightly more than 1/4 of the (16 page) pattern. And the milestone patterns for 1'000 and 2'000 participants are feckin' cute.

(Disclaimer - I am not affiliated with HAED in any way, I'm just participating in the SAL and really want that 2'000 participant pattern - we're at just over 1'800 sign-ups so far with 8 days to go.)

I took this pic a while ago and showed it to a friends. She said it would make a nice cross stitch pattern but I’m not sure. Would it be just a muddled sea of gray?

I absolutely adore this mythology inspired bookmark I found on instagram but it says the design was limited edition and I can’t find it anywhere

Are there cross stitch competitions one can enter? Are there judging guidelines?

If anyone can provide references for either, I find the idea intriguing.

I accidentally made it a little crooked, but I’m just proud that it’s my own pattern turned to a bookmark
