Pride Patch Tutorial: Aromantic Alphabet, Part Four
I'm beginning Aro Week with a complete alphabet, with wide letters great for larger objects, to accompany my many four-stripe block text patterns for making cross-stitched pride patches. Plus patterns for the words "aromantic", "asexual", "alterous" and "nope" ... and even "wtf" for my fellow quoi folks!
This block-style alphabet, with the accompanying conversion chart, can be used to make your own custom text patches for horizontally-striped flags with three, four, six and twelve stripes.
Folks after patterns suitable for five and ten-stripe pride flags should check out my other Aro Alphabet posts and my complete pride patch gallery. I also have a patch tutorial master page covering a variety of aromantic and pride-themed designs, including arrows, aces of spades and hearts.
Image description beneath keep reading:
[image description one: Seven cross stitch text patches sitting on a blue microfibre blanket. From top to bottom: "quoi" in quoiromantic colours on a blue background; "apl" in aplatonic colours on a purple background; "aroace" in oriented aro-ace colours on a pink background; "aro" in aromantic colours on a black background; "queer" in rainbow/LGBTQIA+ colours on a black background; "wtf" in quoiromantic colours on a teal background; and "aego" in aegoromantic colours on a matching flag-stripe background. All letters are capitals in a blockish style of text with rounded corners. Each letter is outlined in backstitch. Every patch is finished with a buttonhole stitch edging in colours similar to (lighter or darker than) their background colour, save the "aro patch, which is edged in chartreuse.
Image description two: An alphabet cross stitch patch pattern striped in the colours of the navy/blue-grey/white/aqua oriented aro-ace pride flag. Pattern is set on a light grey grid. Letters are outlined, indicating backstitch, in dark teal. Letters shown include upper-case j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q and r.]

I combined my favorite settings. although, my OCs fit well on the theme of Turkish cross-dresser dancers.
I love this unusual queer theme in eastern culture!
There is a reference to one of my favorite artists.............

Nancy pov is gonna hit with all the time put into it
here's hoping! at this point i've been working on it longer than i worked on the original fic i'm pretty sure. which is wild and not at all what i expected to happen. but i like it more and more every time i look back and read it, so hopefully it pays off!
