Only took me 3 years to finish! It is 8x8 inches, 18 count Aida. Over 20,000 stitches/pixels. #crossstitch #embroidery #sewing#StarWars
I picked up cross stitch when sick with #LongCovid. As I got healthy, and ran out of a couple thread colors, I set it down. Did not pick it up until I went on vacation a couple weeks ago, and needed a project. And I finished it!
The pattern designer is Awesome Pattern Studio on Etsy, and they are a Ukrainian pattern maker. Love the use of color and color blocking. Have done a couple of her pieces and they are always striking.
Not sure I will do another all over cross stitch due to the amount of time they take, but I love the results.
A closeup of the stitches. Each cross stitch, resembling a pixel, is slightly rounded, adding texture to the piece.
All the top stitches are in the same direction. There is no visible white fabric between the stitches.
The back of the piece. Loose thread can be seen, tied off all over. A ghost of the image can be seen, slightly messy, in reverse, and paler than the front side.
Project backs can help show a work is real and not AI.
An all-over cross stitch design, resembling a tapestry. The design is from Star Wars, and had 2 at-ats (tanks on long spindly legs with wide feet) walking on a beach. In the background is palm trees, the Death Star (that's no moon!) And a moon. The design is in a pixel art style, color blocked in shades of black, blue, gray orange and white.
