Finished cross-stitch! Took eight weeks, 48.4k worth of stitches. Burned thru a LOT of PBS while doing this lol.

A friend told me about the Loose Ends Project and I think it sounds wonderful. I'm too new to cross-stitching to be of much help, but maybe I can dust off my crocheting skills....

Dracula cross-stitch sampler pattern

Since I've had time on vacation, I finished up a cross-stitch pattern I started a year ago in the first Dracula Daily round, based on the words Dracula uses to greet Jonathan Harker when he comes to the castle: "Welcome to my house. Come freely, go safely, and leave some of the happiness you bring".

I wanted a sampler for my front hall, but all the patterns I could find were very Hot Topic Goth. Nothing wrong with that, but my goth aesthetic is more "creepy thing found behind the wall in an old attic", and I wanted a pattern that my aunt wouldn't realize was anything out of the ordinary. I was looking around for inspiration and stumbled on an 1871 sampler by 12-year-old Jemima Clements in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. It's a little bit early for Dracula but the aesthetic was spot on, so I spent a long time squinting at a zoom of the best download of it they had to copy the wolves and the letters, and then left it for almost a year because I got frustrated trying to figure out how to get a good-formatted pattern out.

When we came up on a year I transcended frustrated and went with the good-old fashioned grandma method and transferred my pixels to a spreadsheet. So on the off chance you want a creepy Dracula sampler for your front hall, I now have it in .pdf and a downloadable Google Sheet. The .pdf is formatted to print on legal paper, but it will be a bit small that way; you are welcome to fiddle with the spreadsheets to get it the size you want.

Google Drive link to a shareable/downloadable Sheets file

The pattern uses 7-10 different thread colors; I don't believe in locking in brand-name floss, so the pattern includes color description and it's up to you to find stuff in your stash that looks good together.

I could not come up with a decision on the border, so the options are:

Make all the flowers plain lavender

Use a variegated purple for the flowers

Pick 4-6 different shades of lavender/light purple and alternate them - this is most similar to Jemima's border

Use the "allium flower" pixel art pattern I coded into the pattern (recommended only if you recognized the allium flower pixel art pattern I used.)

It is he! I decided the world needed a cross stitch of Big Challenges, the icon of our time. So I designed one. Happy to send pattern to people if they too want an icon!

Pattern posted here!

On the subject of cross stitch, how is your huge good omens project coming along? Would love to see an update if you fancy sharing

Well, it says something about me that you sent this SIX MONTHS ago and I just rediscovered it...

The big Good Omens cross-stitch stalled out a bit, but it's still on a frame and I have the supplies and stuff, so hopefully posting this will help me get back on it. I think I may need to put it back in a hoop; I like having it in the frame but it makes it harder to work on when Dearborn wants to share lap space with it.

[ID: A large fabric "lap" frame with legs, on which is mounted a large cross-stitch project; the area visible is about 1/3 filled in, and shows the legs and feet of Crowley and Aziraphale from Good Omens. Sitting on top of the finished part are a beeswax puck, a pair of scissors, and a threaded needle.]

This took forever but I finally finished it! Cross-stitched this lovely Master Sword art by @f0xhunt-art , who graciously gave me permission. Thank you, by the way!

The video is mainly to show off the metallic thread I used for the Triforce and also a bit more close-up

2023 cross-stitch gift for my sister.

I hired a pixel artist from Fiverr to make the pattern, using the Internet-famous Miette as a base.

First time stitching on gold aida. It’s very sparkly in a way that the photo doesn’t do justice, but it also causes subtle color differences to get easily lost, so the next time I’m using this kind of cloth, I’m using an image with lots of bold colors instead of one where most of it is subtle variations of gray 🤦

Piece is approx. 8” by 10”.

Fuuuuuck it's finally done. This was the "use up all some of your floss scraps" pattern. I thought it turned out pretty cool. There's a really cool and unintentional ombre effect in the purple border.

ngl I'm pretty proud of this one. Cross stitch has been more difficult than embroidery and I feel like this one was where a lot of stuff finally fell into place.

(Pattern from Owl Forest. They have a lot of cute folksy/fairy tale cross stitch patterns, heavy on Russian stuff. They have a pretty extensive free pattern library, including some big-ass samplers.)
