🧵Cross Sitching is For Nerds🧵

A collection of cross stitch patterns & crafty things. A large portion of them are nerdy. Sorry not sorry.

I need as many people as possible to see this cause I'm all giddy about this project and how good it turned out.

An Incomplete List of Fonts I Would Like to Digitize Someday

All from the Antique Pattern Library

This twisty one

This pleasantly-flourished simple one. it's quirky.

I have no clue how one would include backstitching in a font, but it would look so good

This Art Deco set, from a pamphlet where it shares space with both the most stunning animal illustrations you've ever seen and also the world's most baffling, hideous borders

This one has a lowercase set, too. In a modern context this reads more as a retro game font than a cross-stitch one.

these would look INSANE stitched. more of a monogram font than one for sentences, but who cares. I could figure out some lowercases and this would absolutely COOK

Love the weight of this one. Gothic, fun, but not large enough to be unwieldy.

The first twisty font is better, I think. but if I had infinite time I'd do this one too

A very respectable twist on a classic sampler font. could get a lot of mileage out of this one

hot take but I think with a good lowercase set this one would also be good for a lot of things-- party in the capitals, but keep the lowercase legible.

a very respectable font. you could file your taxes with this one.

their bulbous forms entrance me. I REALLY like that 'H'

Another set that really should only be for monograms... but some part of me wants to believe I could make a proper font around these

LOVE the 'A', like the others. really dig that the original artist included a lowercase set, too

Bonus Monograms I like:

Blue Floral | Thick Line Red Floral | Right Angles

Legit question for all you Cross Stitchers out there;

How is the back of your piece looking?

I was always told the back should be as neat as the front but I have NEVER managed it. And I can't even say it can't be done because my mum had a piece she flat framed between two panes of glass so she could show it off. She has also kept such wizardry to herself (she hasn't stitched in like 30+ years at this point so she also just might not remember) can anyone give a girl a few tips?

Or am I striving for an unreachable goal?

Here's the alphabet from that little thing I did. Also a link to the caption maker. It's a useful tool though most of the alphabets aren't free.

Finally finished this bookmark for my sister's birthday, when I started this I didn't realize I would be moving around this time. Normally I would machine stitch the lace on but since my sewing machine is packed I had to go at it by hand. I secured the iron on interfacing first since it's not the sturdiest stuff then I went back with a basic back stitch and applied the lace ribbon. Overall I really like the result.
