Pop Culture Cross Stitch

One of my very good friends and I are

constantly quoting movie lines to each other,

and one of her favourite movies to quote is Mean Girls.

So when I saw something similar on Pinterest,

I knew I had to make this for her birthday present

and send it over to Essex, England for her.

I drafted the pattern for this myself on 14 count Aida.

There are a few mistakes here and there, but

overall I'm very happy with it, and so is the Birthday Girl!

Zoidberg Cross Stitch Progress

I've finished almost

all of the outlining in black

so far, hopefully I can get this 

finished in only a week or two

Excuse the embroidery hoop creases

It is a Work In Progress after all

Futurama Cross Stitch - Progress

Here is another progress post

as I've finished Amy and Leela and started Zoidberg

I'm almost half way!

I had put this down for quite some time but 

have picked it up again and do some

more in front of the TV when I'm

in the mood.

After Zoidberg, it's Bender, The Professor and Hermes

on the other side of Fry.

Another Futurama Cross Stitch WIP

So I'm still making my Futurama Cross Stitch,

the one with all the characters

but I've had a request for just Zoidberg

on a larger scale so I made up a pattern

and started this Work In Progress

This is where I am after 2 days of very little stitching

The pattern calls for over 4000 stitches

and will be roughly 11" x 12.5"

as a finished piece.

I really enjoyed the process of making the pattern

and have a strong desire to create more patterns

and even sell them to other cross stitchers

once I've tested them.

Futurama Cross Stitch

Anyone who knows me

knows that I love the TV show

Futurama

And I've always had an interest in Cross Stitching

I just never really got into it

until I stumbled upon This Etsy Store

I followed along to their blog Wee Little Stitches

and fell in love with their patterns.

And it was just my luck that they had a Futurama pattern

and even better luck that it was FREE!

I started with Fry as he was in the centre

and he is also my fave character

I'm also using a beige/cream Aida in 11 count 

and Semco thread. I chose to use 11 count Aida

as I wanted it to be a bit bigger

and easier on my wrists
