Another beauty, thanks for sharing your work!
It came out great, nicely done!
Unfinished blackwork embroidery. An unrelated incomplete patch in the corner resembles a fried egg or bumble bee on a white flower?
Breaking in the latest from @loosethreadstitch.bsky.social! Fabric came from Grandma’s stash with a little unfinished surprise in the corner — any guesses what it was becoming?
I love where this is going. I think you should experiment some more with the prism itself. Like, maybe if it were outlined and the line where the two faces meet had a 3:1 or 2:1 slope. The way that line of opposing halfstitches shifts is really distracting.
Be(a)rries!
This is beautiful and weird and the expressions are amazing! Love it.
Gorgeous!
Cats and children man 😅
These are so neat! For a TTRPG or… just the joy of dioramas?
This is awesome! Is this a pattern you’ve already published?
Incomplete cross stitch of a bluejay on fiddler’s cloth. Fabric sits atop a book “Cross-Stitch in the Forest” by Max Pigeon.
Trying my hand at actually crossing my stitches with help from my local library! Design is Rowdy Jay from Max Pigeon’s newish book “Cross-Stitch in the Forest”. I love how his designs really work *with* the medium.

A pixel art illustration of a shiba inu dog laying amidst a field of pink, white and blue flowers. The shiba has a collar on with a blue flower, and is holding the trans flag.The shiba is smiling, and next to their face are three hearts, in pink, dark blue and light blue.
Happy Trans Day of Visibility, y'all. 🏳️⚧️

Well done! Those leaves are cuties.

There were multiple comments on the original post from folks concerned about what chickens eat, that’s all.
Reuters claims the eggs in question won’t end up in retail by the dozen, but instead be hidden away in our processed foods…
Refers to chickens raised to be slaughtered for meat, not chickens on a keto diet.

I’m not saying there’s zero cause for concern, but folks need to be more discerning when they read. “Meat-raised chickens” refers to birds that are raised for the purpose of being slaughtered for meat, not birds with a meat-rich diet. OP should have cited a source.

Finished embroidery on white evenweave. A bobbin labeled “? 550” holds a small amount of the dark purple border thread.
Got pretty nervous at the end that I was not going to have enough thread for the border, not sure who stocks color “550?” 😳
@peppermintpurple.bsky.social’s 2025 SAL, 12 week mini. #crossstitch #craftsky
This is the only thing I’ve used, Loops & Threads brand from Michaels 🤷🏻. It appears Zweigart is widely regarded as the “best”, and I’ll try it when there’s something else I need to order, but I’m a big proponent of “what’s available to you is good enough”. Crafters can get so gate-keepy.
The boba 🥹 eeeeee!
Thanks! I’m using regular backstitch. I think I prefer evenweave. Even on that 18ct Aida, a single strand of DMC doesn’t quite fill the hole — not so on 28ct evenweave, and I think everything comes out a little smoother/straighter. I’d use a temporary running stitch if I had to count a big distance.
Gorgeous!
1. Incredible ruling! An Ohio appeals court has ruled that trans care is healthcare, strikes down youth trans care ban!
It made the ruling using the Republican-passed "health care freedom amendment" meant to overturn Obamacare!

You'll want to read this one.
Incomplete blackwork. Square tiles in the corners are separated by a cross shape of different fill patterns.
You should try it! I am about half way through the “just the first 12 weeks” version of the 2025 PP SAL. I wanted something small to try a non-Aida evenweave for the first time - might be a good starting place for you too!
A completed blackwork sampler. In a 4x4 grid, a rainbow gradient of blackwork fill patterns surrounds 4 black motifs in the center.
First finish in…. forever. What shall I do next?
This is @peppermintpurple.bsky.social’s 2023 SAL, “Interwoven” layout.

🥹 guess I’d better kit up for my next project then! You should share some work ☺️
Incomplete blackwork on white Aida. The outer ring of a 4x4 grid is filled with different patterns in a rainbow gradient. The center squares remain empty.
Thought this would be done-done after a week’s vacation, but it turns out I still have a toddler. Loving how the repetition in blackwork frees you from having your eyes glued to the pattern.

An wrinkled and incomplete blackwork sampler on white Aida. A 4x4 grid has the top row filled with pink and orange motifs. On the left, embroidery floss in rainbow colors are organized on a strip of card stock, held on by tiny binder clips.
Finished the grid and the top row of fills this weekend. I’m regretting that my rainbow has 3 orange/yellow shades and not more green, but between being unwilling to rip out the last box of stitches and wanting to use floss on hand, it just is what it is. #craftsky #crossstitch
Incomplete blackwork embroidery on white aida. Two squares of the main gray grid are filled with pink patterns.
Made decent progress over a long travel weekend. This is my first project stitching in hand and using the sewing method, and I’m never going back.
