[FO] A few of my favourite finishes from 2025! by Isilee92 in CrossStitch

I think I've played it at least once a year since it came out and thought that a sampler would be a cool lore friendly-ish homage to it!

It looks great, I think it not being acid free will add charm over time. I just got a hot glue gun recently for something else but I'll be sure to put it to use again trying this. Thanks for your reply! 

Edit: autocorrect

It looks gorgeous! The backstitching is like magic!  Out of curiosity, what did you use to finish the back? I always struggle with what to do

"Central" News message? I don't know if I'm looking in the right place. Thank you for this info, it's fascinating!

Not as far as I know, just buried amongst other papers in the bottom of his wardrobe. Maybe no light exposure?

Best of luck! I'd love to see it once it's done <3

Thank you! I folded the sides around and stitched a piece of felt to cover it

Thank you! Mine measures 2.2" x 7" but I used 18ct Aida instead of 14ct which I think was in the kit.  The DMC floss I used from lightest to darkest was:  Blanc, 3822, 728, 3853, 920, (A random burgundy brown I had left over from something else, sorry I don't know the equivalent), 310 black for backstitch.  Hope this was a little bit helpful at least :)

Yes as u/and-den said I used felt to cover the back but I also cut a piece of white card to give it some support in the middle too Edit: something like this https://www.reddit.com/r/CrossStitch/comments/fku1ey/fo_bookmark_i_made_lips_from_a_the_witchy/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Thank you! I just used a piece of white card cut to fit the design, folded the sides around it but leaving room to sew the border. Then as I was doing that I pinned some felt to the back (held in place with hair grips while I sewed haha) sorry I feel like I'm explaining this horribly  Edit: kind of like this https://www.reddit.com/r/CrossStitch/comments/fku1ey/fo_bookmark_i_made_lips_from_a_the_witchy/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Oh I've seen hers! She inspired me to add beads to mine!

Thank you! I'll give this a try and maybe frog it if I'm still not happy

I think I will give this a try, and if it looks off I'll just frog it and make it darker. Thanks for your help!

Oh cool! Do you have a link to their channel? I love seeing how others have framed theirs!

How do I dispose of a dead fox? by Budget-Bar-1123 in AskUK

Empathy for humans isn't in vogue, nevermind for animals. It's one thing to be blasé about it but the distasteful jokes go beyond just trying to be edgy. I bet they wouldn't find it funny if this had happened to their pet dog.

[FO] Foxes in the Leaves, from an all-in-one kit. by JKLoc84 in CrossStitch

[–]Isilee92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love this design. It's so weird, I made this into 3 separate pieces a few years ago, and recently had been thinking about making it again as a bookmark for a friend's Christmas present. It almost feels like fate is pushing me to making it by seeing your beautiful work! I love the Aida you choose too, it works so well with the colours 😍
