I made this one for a friend the other week and absolutely love how it turned out! I also hand sewed a little patch with a happy birthday so it would always be there! 💕

Let's find colors in the wild! It's been a minute since I've done one of these! I like to find floss colors in nature, and Savannah, Georgia is always blooming! We have lots of azaleas, wisteria, roses, daffodils, dogwoods, crepe myrtles, etc etc.!

The floss you're seeing is @lecien_cosmo and I love it so much!

Do you see floss colors in nature, too, and try to match it with what DMC or Cosmo floss number it is?

Hi, sorry if this is a dumb question. I really want to buy and make a couple of your digital download patterns but have never stitched from a digital download and only bought those premade ones with the print on the fabric. How would I go about doing the stitching from a digital download? Thanks for your time and for sharing your art, it's all so very lovely!

Hey there!

So, digital patterns will show you the middle of the pattern and where to start. The illustration will include symbols on the colors, and each symbol corresponds with a color in the DMC floss list.

Personally I can really recommend Sirithre's blog for a cross-stitch 101 that's more detailed than what I could type out here:

Hope that helps! 🖤

I just saw the sunflower cross stitch you posted, and I wanted to know, how did you mark the boxes for that? I've tried cross stitch before, and found it difficult to count to put my stitches in the right places, but I'm trying again soon, this time working in 10×10 squares instead of doing all of one color at once, and marking the squares seems like it would also make things easier, I'm just not sure how to mark them.

thank you so much for the ask!

i've definitely found marking the squares ("gridding") on my fabric to be very helpful! i'm a terrible counter and it has saved me from mistakes so many times :')

as far as i'm aware, there are three ways to grid for cross stitch, i'll tell you about the one i've used here and two other methods i'm familiar with. i'm in the US so the links i include might not work for other countries, but you should be able to find the same or similar products elsewhere!

1: water soluble marking pen

this is what i'm using in my sunflowers project! it's like a little marker that washes out when you're done. i bought mine for quilting but have found it works very well on cross stitch fabric as well! this is the one i have (from joann), you just soak your project in some water after you're done and it rinses right out!

some people don't like these because they're worried they won't wash out properly. i've used these before with no issues, and here's a blog post from Sirithre that shows how well they work after 20+ years.

2. pre-gridded aida

this is the one i haven't personally tried, but it seems like a solid option! brands like Zweigart (link to 123stitch.com) have aida with grids pre-printed into the fabric, which then wash out when you're done. i like that this method takes the least effort, and i plan to use it for my next full-coverage piece! the downside is that it usually only comes in light colors.

3. monofilament

monofilament is a great option for darker fabrics, or if you want a more physical/tactile grid. it's a single strand that you can sew into your work to create the grids, and that can't later be pierced by your needle (it's a pain in the ass using regular thread and then accidentally sewing through it later, don't be like me and make that mistake). i like Sulky Sliver (joann) myself, and Easy-Count Guideline (123stitch) is also popular. some people even use fishing line! as long as it's a single strand that can't be pierced, it should work.

this is just a quick rundown of what i like, but i hope it helps! Sirithre's blog post about gridding is a great resource for more detail about how to use these methods. good luck and enjoy!!!

The stitching is incredible, how did you get into it? How did you learn? Everything looks amazing and I’m in awe!

Thank you so much! I’ve actually been stitching on and off since I was 4/5 years old.

My mum was a professional cross stitcher for magazines when I was young and taught me with plastic canvas and thick needles. In my teens, I started finding patterns online like the Kirby one, and started making my own - very simple! - charts based on the chibi ace attorney sprites on graph paper.

I only picked it up as a consistent hobby in spring 2018 thanks to Octopath’s designs so thoroughly invading my brain that I just had to stitch them! I’ve made most of my improvements these last 6 years through creating charts and stitching or charting for at least a few hours every week.

If you’re looking to learn, I’d personally recommend Sirithre as they have some great tutorials and some free game inspired charts. Their Stardew cross stitch book is also a great beginner’s book and I believe there’s a bundle with some fabric, floss (thread) and needles to get help newcomers started as well. There are plenty of other resources online as well, and still (in the UK at least) a few cross stitch magazines and packs in most decent book/craft shops too.

Thank you for asking!

I like limited colours, I like shapes, so I like visiting that on unsuspecting victims such as @sirithre @krmayerillustration and @mobileleprechaun
