KrisJust finished stitching this. Now to wash, press, and figure out how I'm going to display it.
B🏳️🌈Wanted to show you this art that one of my residents I’ve known over ten years made. Her name is Vera and she’s a very sassy German lady who drinks too much. 🎅 #crossstitching #artsandcrafts #crafty #santaclause #merrychristmas

Joe FedererJayne keeps challenging me! Her latest suggestion was that I create a 3D printed Laying Tool. This is a tool used for laying embroidery threads (often silk) flat onto the fabric backing. This avoids getting finger oils on delicate threads.
A bit of FreeCAD work, several printing iterations, and I think I have a winner. I'll make it a bit longer, increase the tip radius, and and increase the number of instances.
An earlier test had stability and consistency issues. Neighbour Grant suggested the cooling wasn't sufficient and that leaving more time between layers would solve the problem. And so it was - a set of 6 printed cleanly where a single one did not.
Tomorrow I'll do the (hopefully) final refinements, then print a larger batch. I'll eventually need a few hundred as promotional giveaways.

formuchdeliberationprogressing slowly but enjoying it all the same... the random stitches on the right within the ring are in DMC 3347, there should be a tree developing there in the next few weeks, or maybe months, but definitely before the end of the year... #crossstitch #hobbies #needlework #CrossStitching #sewing #embroidery #dmcthreads #crossstitchdesigns #crossstitchprogress #embroideryart
Moonlit Dye WorksAnother 1000 stitches this weekend on The Grand Library - I've hit a spot with a lot of large color chunks so it's really moving along.

MikaHatterI love when a design really starts coming together. Ensured I spent a little time today on my goldfinch #CrossStitching project. Being extra careful with the white stitches.
