I'm making this pattern of all the characters from The Office as a gift for someone!

Very fun pattern I'm going through way too fast. I bought it with a cross stitch kit which is not available anymore :(
But you can buy it as a combo with two other cute patterns here. or maybe just get in touch with the seller.

After much procrastinating I am FINALLY getting started on my big original pattern I've been talking out for so long! This is just the very top right corner of what will be a full coverage piece that will probably take me the whole year to finish!
Here is what it hopefully will look like eventually lol

Finally finished the black (for this section). Color!

It's pretty great, my favourite Pokemon
I was told it's proper etiquette to share the pattern link when posting pics
10
And it was not the best experience. I really like the result though, very cute, my partner likes it a lot. But I will probably stick to non-counted stitching methods, they suit me better.

This is going pretty well except I think I picked two shades of orange that are too similar. This pattern doesn't actually tell you which colors to use it just says it's designed to use whatever you already have lol

Been a while since the last update: Photo -> Cross-Stitch Converter & Project Sharing - ClickStitch v1.4
(sh.itjust.works)
Hey everyone! I have finally released the next update for ClickStitch; a new page for converting any image into a cross-stitch pattern!
🧵 You'll be able to preview the palette (currently supports DMC threads) and how many stitches are required for each thread. Then upload to start tracking progress!
📷 Sometimes if the image is high detail the resulting image can get grainy, so I have added an adjustable smoothing functionality which will hopefully reduce the amount of noise!
Let me know if there are other features you think would be useful to you.
🔗 That's not all! Now there is also a share page for projects, so other can keep track of your progress but also to preview the entire history of your stitches.
For example, for my Templar Knight pattern:
Simply move the progress bar into the past!
Would love to see your projects using the share feature! ❤

I decided to take a break and try something a little easier with this Maneki Neko pattern!
15
This one may be done now lol I'm still trying to decide if it needs a border before I wash and iron it for framing
16
Getting close to finishing the black for this section. You can see the outline of the two characters and some of the bar. (Cloud and Tifa in Seventh Heaven)
17
I thought I would be done by now, but I'm still slogging through this blue spotlight with like 6 different shades of blue in it lol
I'll get there soon though!
19
I love cheeky cross stitch, this was a free pattern found on the DMC website, then I chose a font I liked for the words. I think it came out great!
20
Not much of an update as I've mostly been filling in the bottom section, which has like 8 different versions of blue in it lol but I'm making decent progress! I'm hoping to be done with this one in about another week!

Upgraded my frame. Got a Q snap with the 14" extensions. So I can now work in portrait mode which benefits this particular pattern. Also because of the way the pattern printed out I'll be working on this in thirds. This is the middle third. There's a lot of black...

My Prince pattern is starting to look like something recognizable finally lol

I got this one off of a #FlossTube video on YouTube awhile back-- Steering wheel covers repurposed as #GrimeGuards for #CrossStitch or #Embroidery! Probably for small #Quilting projects, too. These came from #DollarTree & only cost a few dollars. They fit pretty snuggly around my largest Q-Snap frame, too. 😄

I can't call this one fully original because I did use the Bing Image Creator AI website to generate the initial artwork.
After generating the image I converted it into a pattern on Floss Cross
If you hadn't already guessed, this is a Prince pattern! I'm making it as a custom piece for a friend, but it's also a good chance to test out a homemade pattern before I try a bigger completely original pattern after this!
