Setup to begin Lizzie Kate’s April themed small cross stitch: pattern, material, hoop, needle and scissors, and DMC floss.

A little seasonal stitching start for this stormy Saturday. #crossstitch #stitchsky

A small cross stitched magpie.

Finished my magpie. Don't look too closely at this one, the backstitching is very rough around the edges because I did It at the in-laws and it was very noisy 🤣 #crossstitch #stitchsky

Progress update!

You’ll notice the text at the top spilling over the grid and that is because this is a “you-get-what-you-pay-for” situation and the grid cut off the top of the words so I needed to ad-lib. #stitchsky

I'm always up for trying something new 🤠👍

Working on the last strip of this massive cross stitch project. I haven't peeked at the result yet, so it's still a mystery stitch for me too! I'm just rolling it up as I finish it. Not too long now, hopefully =)

A quilt with orange and beige batik and dark blue squares have a hand-sewn running stitch in beige thread crossing through the block. One might charitably describe the stitch lines as “rustic”

Coming along! Looking forward to getting a few more stitches in later today or this weekend. It’s a great weight and very cozy!

Question for the hive mind: how do you mark or sign your quilts?

This one had me questioning a little too hard what strawberry seeds should look like.

Blackwork embroidery based on Renaissance artwork in gold and teal threads and sewn onto beige evenweave fabric.

I really appreciate how these SALs keep me from thinking too much and I can get lost in the repetitive motions.
I've been overthinking a lot recently.

Done! This is the first of two mini cross stitches in my Series Two based on early 20th century stained glass. I won't be able to finalize the pattern until the weekend but it should be up by the end of Saturday benitastory.com #stainedglass #crossstitch #stitchsky #crossstitchofbluesky #benitamakes

A completed cross-stitch in the shape of a butterfly. The butterfly is in the trans pride flag colors (pink, white, and blue).

I wanted to finish this by yesterday for TDOV, but it's okay. I'm still just as trans nonbinary and visible today as yesterday! The lovely pattern is by @badstitch.bsky.social. I added backstitching due to the fabric color, but come on, I HAD to use this one! #stitchsky #crossstitch #tdov

Close up of an embroidered scarab done in shades of blue.

Closer image of an embroidered scarab on a brown bag.

Brown canvas bag with straps and a small, embroidered scarab.

Y'all, I finished my scarab and I don't think I've ever been more proud of a piece of embroidery. This one tested me. 😂

(Apologies, the lighting in my room is SO yellow 😂)

A living room with a TV in the corner playing live coverage of the Artemis II launch. A curious German shepherd is sniffing everywhere, and my current cross-stitch WIP is shown in the lower left corner. It is The Haunted Library by Lola Crow and shows a bookshelf, some floating books, a partially stitched staircase with a reading skeleton, and Mary Shelley and Frankenstein.

Stitching and watching the Artemis II launch. Literally the only thing on today that I have any interest in watching. #craftsky #stitchsky #crossstitch #science

Blackwork embroidery stitched in geometric and floral Renaissance styled patterns. It has been stitched in 2 shades of gold and teal on an antique shade of evenweave.

Cliffside Stitches' April SAL patterns came out today and I couldn't resist working on the blackwork variant all day.
Maybe tomorrow I can start on the cross stitch design.

A picture of a cross stitch design in a small embroidery hoop featuring a cat sitting in a box which is too small. The cat is content and smiling and looks as happy as can be. The text ‘if I fits, I sits’ is underneath the box. The embroidery hoop is surrounded by pink and white flowers on a pink background.

‘If I fits, I sits’ cat cross stitch pattern 🐈📦😌💗

I love when cats try and fit into boxes which aren’t quite big enough for them 😭 so cute and silly and so very precious <333

A small cross stitched greenfinch

Hello little greenfinch. 4 of 12 birds done for my boy now. #crossstitch #stitchsky

A cross stitch on light blue and pink aida framed with foliage from the seasons. In one section, a bear and bird are bathing in a small pond. Little foot prints lead to the next section, showing the bear and bird enjoying some blueberries on a summer's day. More foot prints lead to a third section, where bear and bird are taking a stroll through a forest with autumnal leaves. The last section leads to the two animals cuddled up in a cave, sleeping the winter away.

A cross stitch of three blue and purple jellyfish swimming around a fountain draped with vines. The water within the fountain is the same colours as the jellyfish. The cross stitch is framed by white lace, plastic sea greenery, and dried blue orchid leaves.

Patrons Tier 2 and up can stitch along on these serene kitties this month and if you're a Tier 3 patron, you also get my last two patterns, "Bear and Bird" and "Fountain of the Depths".

A cross stitch on pale green aida of two white cats serenely perched in a cherry blossom tree. The piece is framed with plastic green leaves and pink paper flowers.

The tree bends its trunk with an elegant twist, creating the perfect perch for its two whiskered guests.

"Cherry Blossom Buds" is this month's Patreon pattern!

A close up of dark blue broken nine-patch quilt with blue batik and light brown squares. A beige thread in an uneven running stitch goes up some of the squares on the diagonal. There is also a very untidy stitch in blue thread along the seam of the block in frame; this was machine quilted in an attempt to quilt with a wavy line

My first quilt top, and the point here is to finish and by hand. It’s going surprisingly quickly! My little boy can’t wait to snuggle it, so thank goodness for small graces. I actually really like that the stitching is an uneven. Guess I’m not a Type A quilter?

#quiltsky #queerquilter #stitchsky

English paper-pieced hexagons of red and orange fabric flowers with yellow-patterned centers attached to each other with white-on-white on fabric. A few of the flowers are not yet attached. The fabric is wrinkled because. A laptop keyboard and black ball of fluff is in the background. The fluff is my cat, she wasn’t interested in modeling today.

A cheerful way to spend this chilly mud-season day. At this rate, this quilt will take probably 12 years to finish. Maybe by then this field of rainbow flowers will only be a rainbow, and not need to be a sign to others

Cross stitch of pink bunny ears and nose with the text HAPPY easter

Cross stitch of a bunny holding a pastel egg, surrounded by flowers

Since those links apparently don't preview, here they both are in all their #crossstitch glory! #stitchsky

Finished but unframed cross stitch project showing the text IT'S OKAY IF IT'S TAKING MORE TIME THAN YOU THOUGHT in two shades of blue. Each word is on its own line and the two shades of blue are alternating per line. All letters have been backstitched in a darker blue. The words are surrounded by small shapes like stars, mini hearts, snowflakes, ... in pastel rainbow colours. The project has been stitched on 14ct white aida.

After accumulating five WIPs 🙈 I actually finished one yesterday evening. Third finish of 2026.
Pattern by @samanthatextiles.bsky.social, available on Etsy. I used up left-over threads from another project and added my own as well.

#crossstitch #crossstitching #stitchsky

A cross stitch in progress. Dark brown, and the middle is lighter browns/tan. There are several bobbins hanging off of it, and a small magnetic turtle holding a needle.

50%! And it only took 26 months! Does that make this project officially a toddler? 🤔

I'm sticking with Royal Rows for my stitching method, and I've gone back to using a q-snap (the scroll frame just didn't click with me).

WIP Day 15.
I just need to complete the background circle then outline. I don't know why this piece uses winter colors. I wish that I had considered using greens instead since she graduated in the spring.

A partially finished cross stitch on light green fabric. A brightly colored fox stands in front of a circular background showing wheat and purple sky.

Had some time to work on this sky! #wip #crossstitch #stitchsky #fox
