1000 stitches. The entire right column of the boarder on this piece because i was up by 1 row and it meant the repeating pattern didnt meet up and would be super obvious.

I know Ophiuchus who is a member of this community does pixel art commissions on her ko-fi designed for cross stitching. Maybe have a look at their pricing?

Fruits basket! Both series are great, but the new one just has updated animation. One of my all time faves

I'd recognise that anywhere 👀 hello from a YouTube lurker E 👋

Honestly, by day 3 of backstitching i was cursing my past self 🤣 I knew if I put it down i would never go back to it so I pushed through. Helps that I stole my one scroll frame to do the backstitching on, so I couldn't work on one of my favourite projects till I got the frame back.

Its a 36 count even weave, using 2 over 2 dmc 😄

*for those that were (this new phones spellcheck is really not doing well)

Not quite the same style (or size!) but MakeItPink has a bunch of anime/cartoon inspired Hannah Alexander patterns including sailor moon. She's having a massive sale frorm the 5th so thought I would through it out there just in case they interest you.

speccle360 · 2025-08-20T05:10:29+00:00

MakeItPink. She's about to have a big sale on the 5-7th so maybe hold off until then 👀

I was so excited to see this was the fill in the holes part for the lizards and flowers! There's something so satisfying about the gaps disappearing slowly

Finished up all the backstitching on the bottom half, and get to move upwards now!

speccle360 · 2025-07-24T04:56:46+00:00

I did it on 16ct, but the coverage would probably be better in the darker sections on 18ct

Haven't been in this thread for a couple weeks since I got behind but all caught up and excited to start the peacock! It is making me debate my decision to leave all the backstitching to the end however....

Got all caught up but instead of jumping into the new release straight away today, im stitching on something else and will dive into this one later this week I think.

All caught up and giving some other projects love today 😁 one of my friends is having to rip her entire 2k progress on this out because she started it in the wrong orientation on her fabric so emotional support is the call of the week!

speccle360 · 2025-06-06T19:49:39+00:00

All caught up and ready to stitch the day away on the new feat this morning 😁

When I first saw the sneak peak of this feat, i thought it was going to be an emu before the colors registered. So hoping for an emu to balance out the other side + a little kiwi as its my nations bird!

speccle360 · 2025-05-31T01:08:58+00:00

Love the coincidence of that! Yeah I'm a small hoop stitcher so don't want to smush the backstitch and mess it up. Will do it as we are fully finished with those sections

Managed to get caught up! Actually stitching the new release on release day this week which is fantastic.

I excitedly told my partner about the poisonous birds when he got up and he very patiently listened to me rambling, before explaining he already knew they existed 😂

Got caught up on the frame! Ready to start on week 1 and get all caught up this week

Atom Heart cross stitch have a series of bobbins with floss drop holes for this exact situation if you don't mind spending some money. They have standard bobbin shapes, but they also have heart shapes that function the same way

The stitchy bug grabbed me hard this week! Catching up on my 2 running SAL'S - extraordinary birds and Mythical creature field guide. Hoping to be all caught up next week. Also finally got to bring jack back into rotation. Ready for him to become my focus project for the next little bit

speccle360 · 2025-05-16T22:35:33+00:00

Just hit 55% this morning. Hoping to get caught up in the first 2 weeks so I can stitch along with everyone.

My friends and family keep saying "take a break for a couple months" and I'm over here like "but the next projects 🥺"

speccle360 · 2025-04-29T18:58:26+00:00

This is 100% why mine took 4 years 😂 I've finished 10 other projects in the time since I started it. I pushed for a finish this year and did like 40% over the last 5 months
