Black and white wood cut: a tree curves around the left edge of the picture, a dandelion clock trailing its blossoms up the path of its trunk. Behind it, the moon rises in the sky shifting through various phases. A bird of prey flies into the circle of branches from the bottom left of the picture.

WIP Wednesday Hey! It's me, trying to see what you're stitching! Share your cross stitch projects below! Maybe find a new stitchy friend.

Don't forget -- you can use your cross stitch finishes in basically any sewing project you can think of! Aida and evenweave are just fabrics after all. For example, this Tarot bag I made back in 2023! I've even got a full walkthrough on my website. ;) sirithre.com/cross-stitch...

A cross stitched tarot bag featuring a large winged scarab beetle. Next to the bag, a few cards from The Tarot of the Divine.

Let's ride the hype like Odysseus riding Poseidon's waves. This is my Greek Pillar Bookmark, stitched in vaporwave colors on perforated paper. Find this one in my shop, or ask your favorite LNS to stock it! www.etsy.com/listing/4438... #CrossStitch #StitchSky #Odyssey #book

Oh hey, there's a big blockbuster movie coming out this weekend. Guess I should share that I have a plethora of Greek Mythology cross stitch patterns... like this set of Amphoras. badstitched.etsy.com/listing/1337... (1/2) #CrossStitch #StitchSky #TheOdyssey #GreekMythology

Three cross stitches in embroidery hoops showing Greek Amphoras. Each one depicts a scene from The Odyssey by Homer: Heracles against the Hydra of Lerna, Belephoron kneeling in front of the pegasus with the Golden Bridle, and a siren / mermaid perched on a rock with a ship in the distance. BAD Stitch.

Last year, I made this quilt about what it's like to have asthma in the time of climate change. I just keep looking over at it today, being sad. The point of this quilt is to help anyone whose lungs work OK understand what it's like for those of us with shitty lungs. Thought it made sense to share.

Quilt with lungs on it. Half the background is beautiful flowers, so it's hard to see the flame-like quilting. The other background is black, so it's quite easy to see the flames.

New! Dragon Candle This month's design features a small, serpentine dragon wrapped around a magical candlestick. There's a tiny bit of metallic stitching in there, too, because I love shiny things...like dragons. www.patreon.com/badstitch/po... #CrossStitch #StitchSky #DarkAcademia #Dragon

A cross stitch staged with navy ribbons, crystals and stoned, some floral pieces, and an embossed book. The stitches show a black dragon with bat-like wing, wrapped around a candle and candlestick.

This month's Patreon cross stitch pattern is this heart-shaped leafy piece. Because I'm already yearning for the cool days of autumn. I gotta do *something* to get me through the hot season, so channeling a bit of fall leaves is one way to do so. 😉

A cross stitch of yellow, orange, red, and green leaves arranged in the shape of a heart. Stitched on 16 count brown aida.

Thanks to the lovely #cross-stitch community on here, especially @badstitch.bsky.social and @ansitru.bsky.social, I've managed to make my putative Etsy shop look a bit more professional. Still only three patterns for now, while I find my feet. But please do have a look! growslerdesigns.etsy.com
