[image description: three sets of two text banners, reading the word “aro”, in three different five-stripe pride flags: apresromantic (pink/green/yellow/black/dark grey), atomoromantic (bright green/teal/white-pink/teal/bright green) and quoiromantic (dark teal/seafoam/white/teal/dark teal). The text is formed by two rows of six crosses in five stripes, shaped to make a block-ish, digital-clock type text mimicking a cross stitch design. Images on the left have a grey background; images on the right are transparent.]

Cross Stitch Aro Text Banners: Apresromantic / Atomoromantic / Quoiromantic.

I’m making a set of cross-stitch themed text banners, based on my aromantic cross-stitch patch patterns. The images on the right are all transparent PNGs and can be filled in with background colour or layered on top of other background images.

[image description: six different cartoon-style bunting graphics, featuring six pride flags hanging from a brown rope. The flags are rectangular, finishing in a chevron shape, and have rows of brown stitching across the top of the flag and along the bottom of the chevron. First image in each set shows the flags with the topmost stripes facing the left; second image shows the three right-hand flags flipped, so all topmost edges face away from the centre of the bunting. First set of flags shows the light green/white/grey greyromantic flag, second set shows the ten-stripe reds/greens/corals/purples aro-ace flux flag, third set shows the dark teal/bright mint/mint/light teal/dark teal quoiromantic flag.]

Pride Month Cross Stitch Patterns (and Pattern Master List)

I’ve again compiled some not-aromantic LGBTQIA+, queer and pride cross-stitch text patterns for Pride Month ... including asexual, bisexual, bigender, genderqueer, intersex and non-binary text patterns! Plus three, four and six-stripe “queer” patterns so folks can stitch non-digital versions of my pixel text headers!

With all this going on, I thought it a good time to update my pattern and tutorial master post.

Some tutorials will work for--or can be adapted for--a wide variety of pride flags. Most aromantic text patterns can be adapted for other a-spectrum identity flags.

These pieces are designed as handsewn patches, pendants or keychains (depending on the materials used). Aida, other types of evenweave fabric or vinyl canvas/plastic mesh is best for cross-stitch. They may also be adapted for freehand embroidery on non-evenweave fabric (like quilting cotton, drill, homespun, canvas or denim) by tracing the letter outlines and using filling stitches for the stripe colours.

Beginners--especially if Australian--may find my materials post useful.

[Photo description 1: nine cross stitch text patches sitting on a blue microfibre blanket. From top to bottom: "apl" in aplatonic colours on a blue-purple background; "Q" in rainbow colours on a black background; "trans" in trans colours with a light blue felt backing; "queer" in rainbow colours on a black background; "pride" in trans colours on a black-navy background; "aromantic" in aromantic colours on a yellow background; "quoi" in quoiromantic colours on a teal background; "pan" in pansexual colours on a black packground; and "pride" in nebularomantic colours on a mint background. Words are a mix of capitals in a blockish style of text with rounded corners or lower-case letters in a pixel-style text. Each is outlined in backstitch. Most patches are finished with a buttonhole stitch edging in colours similar to (lighter or darker than) their background colour, with exceptions being the pride patch in trans colours (mottled pink, white and blue) and the queer patch (mottled maroon and mahogany).

Pride Patches and Tutorial: Four Stripe Alphabet and Icons

For the third day of @aggressivelyarospec​​​‘s #aggressivelyarospectacular event, I’ve created an entire lower-case alphabet suiting horizontal four-stripe flags ... which can also be adapted for three, six and twelve-stripe flags! I’ve even made a bunch of patterns for icon-style patches, into which you can place any of the letters from my alphabet.

If you wanted flag-themed text patterns for words like “quoi”, “cupio”, “oriented aroace”, “aplatonic” or “idemromantic”, this alphabet will let you make them. When stitched on plastic mesh, a single letter makes an awesome keychain!

Image descriptions are located beneath keep reading:

[image description, photo: Four cross stitch patches sitting on a blue microfibre blanket. All feature pixel-style letters divided into four or six horizontal stripes, sewn in the colours of various pride flags. The top patch reads "quoi" in the colours of the quoiromantic flag, sewn on a teal background with a blue buttonhole-stitch border. The left-hand patch is sewn on plastic canvas and features a "Q" in rainbow stripes on a black background; it hangs from a silver keychain. The centre patch is an "I" in the colours of the idemromantic flag on a light mint background with an aqua buttonhole stitch border. The right-hand patch is an "a" in the colours of an aromantic-spectrum pride flag on a black background with a black buttonhole stitch border. Both "I" and "a" patches have a frame surrounding the letter in the colours of their respective pride flags; the "Q" keychain doesn't.

image description, pattern: An alphabet cross stitch patch pattern striped in the colours of the mint/white/purple/navy aro-ace/aro-ace spec pride flag. Pattern is set on a light grey grid. Letters are outlined, indicating backstitch, in light purple. Letters shown include lower-case a, b, c, d, e, f, g and h, with an uppercase I.]
