Just finished this little project today, as a colourful side quest from my huge monochrome WIP. Designed to lean into the cutesy vibe with lacey trim round the hoop. Pattern from Feline and Floss. Also a little pic of my growing gallery wall

4 years of work (on and off), 42,000 stitches, 38 colours. 12" by 12" on 18 count Aida 🫡😭😁 pattern is Two Towers by Thread Geeks I believe!

Freshly finished Mangrove Ecosystem on Wichelt linen! This pattern was drafted and posted by Reddit user u/Llyvre a bit ago, and I liked it so much that it became my first non-kit project in quite a while. It was really fun to stitch, and I love the use of negative space, especially following a long stretch of backstitch-heavy projects for me!

Took me about 3 months chronologically, but only 12 days of actual stitching time!

Pattern: Oven Citrus mood 1600. Chart and floss both came in the kit.

Stitched on 32ct Murano. Anchor floss, including 11 blends

Absolutely in love with how juicy this looks!

Now comes the hardest part — picking a frame! Would love any suggestions or ideas!

Saw this pattern and immediately wanted to stitch it lol. Also glad I went with my gut using a ornate like frame for it 😄

These are some of the hoops we've been creating over the past few weeks.

Finished this one yesterday. I had fun with it, but that metallic thread tested my patience 😂😂

Pattern is Country Threads - The Kiss (Gustav Klimt)

It's from a trio of mandalas in the same color palette. With the fractional stitches and repetition, it ended up taking me longer than I expected.

My 8-year-old looked at it, and her first question was, "Why are the blueberries wearing boots?" Now I can't unsee it, but it makes me love it more!

Pattern is from the June 2026 issue of The World of Cross Stitching magazine (that I accessed for free through Libby - thank you public library!). The pattern was created by Jenny Van De Wiele (@homestitchness).

This features my first ever French knots. I don't know if Trimits are generous or I'm stingy, but again I have enough thread left to make at least another one.

The design is Trimits Cross Stitch Bookmark Kit Lemon

hi everyone!! i'm a bit new to posting on reddit but really happy to have found a cross stitch community.

i got back into stitching a couple weeks ago after a year long break and i thought i'd share the piece that i'm the most proud of!

the pattern is Girl's dream magic by Maria Brovko

there was a lot of color blends and backstitch but it was so worth it! i stitched another piece from Maria Brovko after that and i only have good things to say about her patterns :)

Variegated threads give us such a wide horizon or experimenting with shades and I'm absolutely in love in them! I always stitch my patterns before adding them to my collection and I do not use AI in creating of my designs. You can see these and more of my designs in SunflowerCrossStitch shop on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/shop/SunflowerCrossStitch?

Some friends are moving away soon and I had to make them some before they left!

Thanks reddit for the encouragement to keep going

Where the pink arrow is I went a stitch too far on a section and didn’t realize it until I was done for the night. Which meant all the areas above it went 1 too far. Should I try fixing it by adding an extra stitch to each line below or just leave it?

Hi everyone! I’m currently working on a collection of miniatures (50 x 50 stitches). I chose to make small projects because, honestly, I just don’t have the patience for anything bigger, lol.

(I also want to mention that I don’t use AI. Every design is entirely my own work).

I have so little to go and am struggling to finish 😩

I finished backstitching on this pattern, with the exception of the skinny black lines across the wings (see second pic from listing). I think it looks alright without the lines, though I'm not sure if it might help make the contrast between the shades of green less stark? I confirmed all the colors I use matched the pattern, so that is my guess as to why the wings look different here. Either way, time to start frame hunting!

This was my first time backstitching and couching, and I enjoyed it more than I expected (once I finally sized down my needle). Third pic is my work before the backstitching, and I'm glad I did!

Pattern is Fir Cones by Ekaterina Tarasova

My partner self-drafted this keychain and I’m obsessed with it lol. It was originally supposed to be a dachshund, but they said it looked more like a rat, so we went with that and added the cheese wheel slice. Stitched with 3 strands on 14 ct plastic canvas, with a 4 strand whip stitch to connect the two pieces together!

(Beginner here) At 14ct Aida, it would be less than 3 inches on each side. I would love to make one that is larger but I don’t know if that would make it look weird? Also, if there is a way, what Aida count fabric would you recommend?
Lastly, has anyone completed this pattern??? Would love to see it if so, and would love any tips!
