Cross Stitch Butch

Been stitching for years and still don't have a clue

This Star Trek baby quilt dates back to 2014. This was gifted. FYI, apparently I did not like the little blue moon because it is not in the final quilt. :)

I made this Borg quilt in 2019.

Very excited to share my first crossstitch pattern with you!

It's for my "A Glimpse in Space " artwork (100x100), adjusted to dmc thread colors. 💚

Throughout all of history, mankind has never created a more precise measuring tool than the infallible "eyeballin' it."

I am so bad at posting here consistently but I feel like Tumblr would appreciate my best friend Fishbag (and the various creatures that live within her)

I Spit My Last Breath at Thee Pattern

Here's the pattern of my latest cross stitch! I plan on posting all of these sorts of patterns once I finish the projects. Have fun!

EDIT: I've made some changes between this pattern and the version I ended up cross stitching. It was only at the end that I discovered that the Reliant's warp nacelles were a little too far forward compared to the model, so I have rectified that here.

For school I am building a marketplace/index for cross stitch patterns. Specifically to free designers from Etsy, and stitchers from pattern mills and AI generated garbage.

During the process I realized there might be an actual need for it? So yeah. If you, a person who does cross stitch and/or embroidery work thinks a place kinda Ravelry, but meant for us, would be cool, let me know (:

Further features I had in mind were project galleries, floss stash, stuff like that.

(also I can totally put some prototype screenshots here if there's an actual interest from you guys)

Ship in a bottle. Saw someone post that they'd done this on FB and had to recreate it immediately.

OH MY GODS!

That's quite possibly the most fantastic thing I've seen in days! Weeks! Hell's bells, maybe even months!

It is beautiful and I must do it!

obsessed with this 1850 embroidery pattern for a repeating coral pattern

What would you even use this on? Who was the target audience? There’s definitely context here that I don’t have yet and I love it so much, it reminds me of @vincentbriggs’ teapot crinoid patterns!

It looks like it was originally intended for Berlin Wool Work, so it could have been used on a variety of things!

A repeating pattern like this would be absolutely perfect for a waistcoat, and it's pretty restrained and sober compared to a lot of the examples out there.

(This one was never sewn up! c. 1855)

(Source. There are TWO MORE of these things out there with the same pattern done in slightly different ways!)

(c. 1850)

(c. 1835-40)

House slippers are another popular use. (I have a lot of them in the slippers section of this pinterest board, and it's nowhere near all the ones I've seen.)

(c. 1850's)

(c. 1850's)

But slipper-specific patterns that take the shape into account seem to have been a more common choice, which makes sense for something so small and simple.

(I'm afraid I don't have source links for those two.)

Or perhaps ladies' boots.

(c. 1845-65. They have an elastic gusset!)

Or a bag.

(1830's)

(c. 1840)

Seat cushions would also be a good use for it.

(Suspenders are another thing that you see done in Berlin Wool Work, but a big repeating pattern wouldn't be any good for those.)

I've never done gridded embroidery, but so many of these look really cool, so perhaps someday... I really love the grape slippers and the devil slippers.

AT LAST....... I'M FREE

Approximately seven months and almost 12,000 stitches later...... behold :') I don't even know what else to write anymore gfdsgsd just look at it. Please.

Feeling brave enough to try it yourself? You can buy the pattern here for as little as $1 👍

Finished last night. Unlike my more geometric colour wheels, this one isn't separated into strict sections. In order to keep the transitions between colours as smooth as possible, the gradient areas had to be worked over a wedge shape. It took a bit of math and some adjustments while designing it, but the stitching itself was no more complicated than my other blackwork gradients.

The cast of Octopath Traveler (2018) cross stitched in every single one of their job outfits! I could not be more proud of how they’ve come out!

I first started charting these in November/December 2021. I started stitching them in June 2022. By my estimates, it was around 80 hours of charting and ~580 hours of cross stitching over 2.5 years, so a truly massive project. I’m planning to mount them in a scrapbook soon but wanted one more picture of them all together first.

If you’re interested in the charting and stitching progress, a full thread can be found on my Twitter here.

What’s next? Well, my fabric for Dolcinaea arrived last week…
