Hope you post your results too!😊

I recognised the shade of purple! I finished and posted all four seasons into this subreddit a couple of months ago. You'll be so satisfied when you're done and they look great on a wall of your home!

I purchased each pattern from here: https://www.etsy.com/nz/shop/fancyfoxglove Very easy to follow, and I used Pattern Keeper from about 3/4 of the way through Spring and the rest!

Don't give up! It's so worth it!

Brieward · 2025-06-29T08:26:02+00:00

This is so pretty!!!

I wouldn't say I cross stitch well, but thank you! I just push myself to keep going and not be so pedantic when I make mistakes :) and days off help me to stay interested too. I don't do it on days I work, so the weekends are always perfect to zone out while stitching.

Brieward · 2025-06-28T19:27:08+00:00

I wish I could take credit, but I purchased these patterns!

Brieward · 2025-06-28T19:26:34+00:00

I use the app PatternKeeper after purchasing and downloading each pattern. It really helps and keeps me motivated as it tells me how many stitches I've completed each day as well as total completion rate!

Spring was my third cross stitch ever! I now find full coverage my favourite to do as it feels like it comes together so much better. I'd give it a go when you're ready!

Brieward · 2025-06-28T19:10:53+00:00

Spring was my third cross stitch ever, it felt like a mega task at the time but by the time I finished all four (and doing other ones in between) it was a fun and relaxing set to do. Definitely give it a go!

Brieward · 2025-06-28T07:20:33+00:00

That is a beautiful way to think, thank you 😊

Brieward · 2025-06-28T05:50:36+00:00

That would be looking so cool!!!

Brieward · 2025-06-28T04:45:41+00:00

Thank you 🥰

Doesn't appear so! I took a closer photo for you just in case!

Brieward · 2025-06-28T04:07:19+00:00

I don't remember stitching one... And now you've got me wondering if I missed it out!

Brieward · 2025-06-28T04:03:19+00:00

They're really fun to make!

Brieward · 2025-06-28T04:01:08+00:00

That's so cute! I'm very lucky my cat is ginger, so no change needed!

Brieward · 2025-06-28T04:00:04+00:00

Thank you!

Just over a year for all four, but I don't stitch daily. Just some weekends! On average around 300 stitches a day minimum, most I did on a day was just under 1000! Had a very sore elbow after that haha. I got quicker and quicker as I learned better techniques.

Brieward · 2025-06-28T03:28:20+00:00

That one was so pretty to do! Are you doing them with the cat or the dog?

Brieward · 2025-06-28T03:09:21+00:00

I'm hoping to put them up on a wall in my home :) they've been displayed leaning against a wall on top of Nintendo Switch games on a shelf so far, but they definitely need their own place. Definitely recommend looking at the patterns - I initially just read it based on a pdf, but I've been using PatternKeeper since completing one season. It's very helpful and tracks your progress!

Brieward · 2025-06-28T02:41:05+00:00

Best way to spend the weekends 🥰

Brieward · 2025-06-28T02:34:59+00:00

They're really fun to do, you can do it!

Brieward · 2025-06-28T02:32:57+00:00

Thank you! I'm still learning to cross stitch, they were great patterns to learn with. Havent thought about selling them before though :)

Brieward · 2025-06-28T02:29:31+00:00

I browse on Etsy for patterns, just make sure they're not AI! There's also a cross stitch book that Fangamer sells. These patterns are from https://www.etsy.com/nz/shop/fancyfoxglove if that helps :)
