Some finished stuff!
The thing I love the most about designing patterns is seeing what other people do with them. I haven’t seen any finished ones in a while but I just got two in two days!
Firstly, Megan bought the Question Authority pattern the other day and finished it already! Quickest stitcher in the world award I reckon! And it looks great
Looks cool in that frame too! Which incidentally is way more organised than me on that front..
Also Hali has finished the Firefox pattern!
It’s beautifully stitched and looks gorgeous on the ivory fabric. Yay Hali!
Takin’ over the town
Craftster user craftcore has done these two gorgeous embroidered graffiti pieces. I especially like the crochet one. Especially in this time of a global economic crisis, I’d rather think we were using at as an excuse to create sustainable and self-sufficient communities rather than have a violent uprising. Sounds much more interesting (and less painful) to me.
Craftcore has also made some contributions to the upcoming issue of Hoopla which is perilously close to the photocopier!
Also found on craftster was plavalaguna’s version of the Firefox pattern which has been getting a fair few hits recently. So if you’ve been wondering what it looks like finished, here it is!

Firefox Pattern
One of our Radical Cross Stitch Posse members Emma put a call out the other day for a pattern of the Firefox logo. I couldn’t remember seeing anywhere. But I know they’re in demand ’cause people are always finding my website searching for linux cross stitch (there’s a big linux penguin pattern on the diy page).
So I thought, hey, why don’t I just make one. I can’t exactly help the project with my programming skills (read: none) so how ’bout just contribute some fan craft. Surely there is nothing cooler than nana core, nerd core fan craft?
So here’s a pattern, click on the image to download the pdf of the pattern and colours and complete cross stitch instructions.
Enjoy.
