I have to admit when Sandy came to me with this idea of stitching a treble cleft and flowers with a musical bar beyond it. I wasn't quote sure what to think. She had a key collection she wanted to attach for the notes, so it was just the cleft and bar as our project. […]
It's a rare day that I get a finish in my email. (The best of rare days.) Today there are two right there beside each other and not small pieces. This is a custom piece done for Paula West. This is her 2nd finish in this gallery... and she is already starting on her next […]
This is the stitching of Gail Jones. It's her 3rd Advanced Cross Stitch piece. She's such a wonderful stitcher. This stitching is no exception. It's absolutely brilliant so beautifully done and full of care. I’m genuinely so glad I get to be even a small part of it, to contribute in some way to something […]
If you’re on social media, you might have seen Karen’s stitching—she’s incredibly talented! It’s so much fun to watch her progress. I feel really privileged to see these pieces come together and to get a glimpse of what the finished project will be. I don't need to ramble on for this one, so here... look […]
This chart is an interesting one because I gave it to her free of charge. That was in 2017, so this was 8 years ago. She was asking about charting on a Facebook group and I really thought the dog would look good more cartooned, so I did it an offered her the chart free. […]
As I told Debbie I feel like I always say the same thing, this stitching is amazing. It's true though all these projects are hard and take patience. The best part of making charts is hearing the story of the people, animals, or experiences behind the images that I get to work with. Marley was […]
Here is something unbelievable. This chart was completed in less than 4 months. This chart was so challenging to make because we wanted to limit the size and number of colors but highlight the different habitats from the ice wall, river, and green tree area. The stitching couldn't be more perfect. I'm super impressed. Thanks […]
I am fortunate to occasionally see the completed projects derived from my charts. A selection of these finished pieces is showcased in this gallery. While I am sometimes unable to share certain projects due to privacy considerations, I have been privileged to observe the completion of these, and a few others, over time. It is […]
This one was really fun to create. I hope Alyson enjoyed stitching it just as much. There were a lot of wires in the original and it was sort of dark, so I remember editing it quite a lot. You wouldn't know thought, the end result is perfect. The stitching abilities of Alyson isn't lost […]
Heather Cook came back for more, so I wrangled her into showing me her last project. I loved creating this chart. The fade came out perfectly... and it makes me smile ear to ear knowing it was stitched and stitched as successfully as it charted.
An amazing finish for a brilliant couple. The smiles on these two is infectious. This was such a fun chart fo create with the variation in lighting also challenging. The stitching by Paula is just amazing also.. so proud to have played just a small part in this piece. Thank you Paula for sharing with […]
Well, it's finally done and finally back from the frame shop. It's so hard to capture an image without a reflection. Here we have Norman Rockwell's "The Saturday Evening Post" artwork - The Principal's Office. It was stitched by me, Jennifer Beam. It took me 2 1/2 year to complete. The skirt area was tricky, […]
I get pictures of my custom charts sent into me frequently. I think it's because I talk to the folks who get the custom charts more than I talk to the folks whom purchase my public designs. I guess we build a relationship where as I'm a little more hidden to folks who just download […]
These are one of my favorite breeds of dogs. I have a few favorites, but this one is on the list. So cute.. and almost always friendly natured. This one is amazingly stitching so it's perfection in my eyes.
Here is a chart we created. It was really a long process getting this chart correct. It was the 3rd image that I worked with that finally got the skin tones to looking correct. Skin can sometimes be very difficult to work with, so that's how it goes sometimes. The stitching though, this is amazing […]
Here we have the amazing stitching of Tim George. He wanted to do this classical piece for his church choir group. How cool is that... and the stitching is amazing. Great work!
Patricia Rideout is one amazing stitcher. I think this is her 4th or 5th Advanced Cross Stitch project. Each as amazing as the last.
Here is an amazing finish by Rebecca Laurin. This was charted in October 2022, so it's taken 2 years to get completed. I think that is a hot needle, and such brilliant work. I'm so happy to be such a small part of these pieces. This is a huge commitment to a single image and […]
There are few charts where I show the origin or the why that were used to create the chart. This is the ones that is cool to show. Here is the paw print used to create this chart. This dog has passes so this is one of the last images of it's paw when it […]
Debra Goodwin is a regular in this gallery. She always stitches fun pieces and so much meaning to her. Here is another one that is no exception to that rule. The colorful yarns turned out so great and she added some backstitching which highlights it perfect.
This is the second piece of Cathy's featured in this gallery, she's a tremendous stitcher and supporter. She's already said she's coming back for more. This amazing bird was so loved and now he's going to be honored with this great remembrance piece. Amazing work..
Here we have the cats on her couch, a gift for her family. Her skill in stitching and speed it unmatched, so happy to be able to help her even the small bit with her projects.
Here we have a very special stitching of John. This chart came through wonderful don't you agree and Jane is an amazing stitcher. Thank you Jane for sharing such a special project with me.
This girl is very special and I was so excited to just have a small part in making this heirloom come to life. The amazing talent of Matthew to stitch it and it turned out so nice. Great job...
Well, these are heirloom pieces so take a long time to complete, but we have one done and several more close. Patricia Rideout stitched this lovely piece. Here is this piece after it was framed. You can purchase this chart.
Look at this one, her stitching is so precise. This was completed so fast too. It's like she has a magical needle and thread! Thank you so much for sharing.
There are some charts that I make that I think... oh stitching all that grass would be torture or stitching all that sky would be torture. In all honesty, I rarely get to see those charts ever again. The ideal though and the best really is when I get a finish back that wasn't the […]
The incredible stitching of Brenda George. Here is the vintage fish done with a blue background. It turned out just like I had imagined it... so glad she did this one. I do so very much love it. Here is the chart, if you would like to do this one. The pillow though is the […]
Here is the stunning stitching of Alyson Evans with her 3rd completion in this gallery. It's so beautifully done and just perfect. I'm so happy that I get to play the tiniest role in these amazing pieces being stitched. It's really stitchers that make them come to life and this one is amazing.
This chart is one of my favorites. If you are interested in this chart it is located here: https://www.advancedcrossstitch.com/downloads/hot-rod-dark-fabric-cross-stitch-pattern/ This chart only has the colors stitched. The black portion is the fabric showing. It's a fun piece to stitch.
It's a rare day really when I get the pleasure of seeing my charts finished. There are quite a few in this gallery, but it hardly touches the number of charts out there in the world. I do absolutely adore getting these types of updates. This was a custom chart created for Tania. She likes […]
This here is a piece that was stitched very quickly, if you have been watching my social media. You would see updates all along its path. I love these types of projects and thank Carol for sharing so much. I am also fortunate that I am going to meet Carol in a few weeks here. […]
Here we have another amazing completion. This is what Pat wrote to me when she sent the image. I made some adaptations to your couch background at the top and my daughter is quite happy with the overall result 🥰. Thought you might enjoy seeing the completed result…next step is framing 🥰. I loved stitching […]
Hey another finish... this little puppy was so cute. I loved being able to work with Linda for this chart. I'm even more excited to see it completed.
Here is another custom chart finish. This one was completed by Debra Goodwin a returning customer that I adore. She chooses to stitch such interesting pieces that are just fun to chart up for her. This one is no exception...
Here is one that honestly, I questioned in my mind when I got the request. It's can you turn this black and white, but leave the greenery, also remove the grass and sky. Well, we did it and at a fairly small size. I think it turns out Shannon has great vision and this is […]
Here is one that turned out marvelously. It was a request by Susan originally so created for her and her stitching of it is really amazing, what a great piece. In creating the chart though, I licensed the butterfly artwork, so this chart is available to anyone. It's here.
Renee has gotten 5 custom charts from me. This one has been by far the hardest one to chart. The original image was fairly aged, so getting it just so was sort of tricky. I will admit I hesitated with the quality, but it was a special image and an even more special boy... so […]
Here is a custom chart stitched by Karen Fenton. It's her grandchildren. It's a pretty special piece and I'm so happy to have played a small roll in it's creation.
