Photo of a cross stitch with a variegated pink to white thread on black fabric. A big bird with wings wide open is holding a snake in its fangs. On the sides of the bird are the words "La Tierra Es Para Quien La Trabaja".

I finished the July portion for #Stitch4Pride2025 which is dedicated to Amelio Robles Ávila. He was a colonel in the Mexican revolutionary war.

Photo of a cross stitch in progress in a wooden hoop: Parts of what looks like a rod in a lightly variegated yellow floss on a grey fabric.

I finally got my start in on April's installment of #stitch4pride2025 by Dee's 20 Stitches! The pattern is inspired by Ozaawindib, a Chief of the Leech Lake Ojibwe that I'm looking forward to learning more about!
The floss is Gulliver from Cottage Garden Threads.

Today's SAF:
The February pattern from #Stitch4Pride2025 by Dee's 20 Stitches. This month's pattern is inspired by Egyptian Pharao Hatshepsut. She was an extremely prolific builder during her reign and took on traditional male roles, clothing and other traits to solidify her reign.

Realized I forgot to post my January Stitch4Pride finish~ Also meet Oreo, who decided he wanted to be in the picture and I couldn't say no!

I'm using Picture This Plus' Relic Belfast linen, and Classic Colorworks' Blueberry Tart. Pattern by Dee's 20 Stitches. #crossstitch #Stitch4Pride2025
