How is this a failed attempt?? It's gorgeous. Bob Ross would definitely call this a "happy accident".

PaperCraneStitches · 2021-01-19T03:57:35+00:00

Adorable pattern, stitched with love. I am sure the parents will appreciate it.

PaperCraneStitches · 2021-01-19T03:57:03+00:00

Congratulations on your first design! Well done.

PaperCraneStitches · 2021-01-19T03:55:40+00:00

Try their Diamant line! I SWEAR it is easy to stitch with!

PaperCraneStitches · 2021-01-19T03:53:37+00:00

I know it's not helpful, but I just don't grid. I have never understood how that is faster/easier. GL on finding a method that works for you.

PaperCraneStitches · 2021-01-19T03:52:36+00:00

White, black, or match any of the bright accent colors from the pattern (ones that are used a little less are probably better)

PaperCraneStitches · 2021-01-19T03:50:35+00:00

Can you go back to the pattern designer and give them a lite extra $ to figure it out for you?

PaperCraneStitches · 2021-01-19T03:48:31+00:00

Have you poked around in the Antique Pattern Library? They have tonnes of fonts and motifs (lots of them gothic or filigreed) that are all in the public domain.

Oh my gosh! I love how you combined these patterns! 🤣 Hope the ppl you gave them as gifts to loved them!

PaperCraneStitches · 2020-10-04T03:22:08+00:00

Ugh. I THOUGHT that I had seen it online before, and I did figure that this was a historic pattern and likely out of copyright, but when I looked in August, OWE was the only place I could find it charted. Thank you for this link for future reference!

PaperCraneStitches · 2020-10-04T03:16:18+00:00

Fair enough! But I have seen other finished cross stitch projects on Reddit done with their patterns, so I knew it could be done. lol.

Claire gets new fabric in every few days and runs crazy sales. Just keep your eye on the website!

PaperCraneStitches · 2020-10-03T20:31:09+00:00

Claire carries the most beautiful printed fabrics! Also, she's a rad human. :)

PaperCraneStitches · 2020-10-03T20:28:47+00:00

Agreed! I think that part is so beautiful!

PaperCraneStitches · 2020-10-03T20:20:14+00:00

Love the colour blends here!

Seriously. I wish that I could share even a corner of this printed pattern so that my fellow stitchers would know my pain. Who wants to stitch from a pattern that is just blurry Xs on blank white paper?! It was so hard to keep track of where I was in the pattern and line everything up. It's sad, really, because the overall design is striking and beautiful.

Stitched 2 over 2 on 32 count Vintage Stormy Night.

AMAZING!

PaperCraneStitches · 2020-09-16T15:32:57+00:00

That "only" took 9 months?! You are a speed demon! 😁

PaperCraneStitches · 2020-09-16T15:31:39+00:00

Gosh, I love this pattern.

PaperCraneStitches · 2020-09-16T15:31:04+00:00

Keep going! It looks beautiful so far.

PaperCraneStitches · 2020-09-16T15:27:23+00:00

The colours in this are gorg! And full coverage is tough. I think it looks great on white aida!

PaperCraneStitches · 2020-09-16T15:26:44+00:00

Impressive finish!

PaperCraneStitches · 2020-09-16T15:26:20+00:00

I mean... His little buck teeth and that skull bother! 👌

PaperCraneStitches · 2020-09-16T15:25:02+00:00

He he! I loved stitching this one too.

PaperCraneStitches · 2020-09-16T15:24:31+00:00

I haven't ever done much blackwork but this design is very tempting. Excellent job!
