Listen I am ALL for supporting HIV patients (especially in this political climate) but if you’re going to use cross-stitch imagery in your marketing the absolute LEAST you can do is make sure the HOLES are lined up correctly, jfc

That last pic isn’t even stitching! Wtf are we doing here, gang
A NYC subway billboard for the AIDS Health Foundation that reads “HIV STIGMA SUCKS” in the style of a seemingly lifelike cross-stitch sampler A close-up of the H in “HIVcare.org.” The stitches clearly do not line up with the holes, suggesting that this pattern was photoshopped over a blank Aida cloth background A close-up of the floral border around the billboard. Not only do the stitches not line up, but there are also too many stitches present for the size of the Aida cloth A close-up of the AHF logo, which isn’t cross-stitch at all but a diagonally knitted dishcloth with an unmistakable purl border around it

Semi-related, I keep getting notifications on Adobe Acrobat to summarize a document I frequently have open because it is "long."

It's long because it's a cross-stitch pattern.

I just received a contract on Docusign for review and signing, and it offered to give me an AI-generated summary that I could read instead to save time.

That's AN AI-GENERATED SUMMARY ***OF A CONTRACT***, in case you need to let that sink in.

Behold, the piece that broke me out of my cross-stitch hiatus at the beginning of this year

Realizing that I don't think I ever shared this piece I made for my brother-in-law and his wife for Christmas and I should because it kicks ass

(not a @needlepopcrafts.bsky.social pattern, though! it's from this shop: www.etsy.com/shop/NeedleM...)

been a real uptick in cross stitch pattern sales over the last few days, which i can only assume is because everyone's so freaked about tariffs that they need something silly and stabby to do with their hands

Two cool things:
1. It took a few days of navigating online bank weirdness, but I finally put in the first donation for SRLP!
2. Somebody posted a review photo of the new pattern and !!!!!! oh no, my heart
A picture of the Twin Peaks "Fix Your Hearts or Die" pattern from the NeedlePopCrafts Etsy page. They clearly used the glow-in-the-dark green thread that's recommended in the pattern, which rules.

It’s done! Now I just have to put together the pattern document, pick somewhere to send proceeds to (leaning towards the Sylvia Rivera Law Project but I’m open to suggestions) and get it online, hopefully tomorrow at some point. So stay tuned, I guess?
The final version of the cross-stitch pattern I’ve been working on, which says “FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE” in the Twin Peaks font over a misty green-gray forest background
