A set of 11 patterns by The Retro Stitcher-- titles and descriptions in the Alt Text!
A collage of five cross-stitch patterns, including: 'FUCK': A cross-stitch of the word 'FUCK' on black fabric.

'EAT ME': A cross-stitch of a mushroom labelled 'EAT ME', shown in four variations, each on black fabric. The first has white text and a realistic mushroom; the second has the same, but with a rainbow chromatic aberration effect on the whole piece; the third gives the mushroom a single human eye and is done in psychedelic rainbow thread; and the fourth has the human eye, but all in white thread. A collage of six cross-stitch patterns, including: 'SALVATION': A cross-stitch of an 'angel' in a golden frame. It has a spherical golden body, a single blue eye, and six wings.

'REPETITION': A glitchy cross stitch with a barcode labelled 'OBEY'. Below is are lines of text, each more and more distorted than the one above it: 'REPETITION IS ORDER', 'REPETITION IS ORDER', 'REPETITION IS ORDER', 'REPETITION IS ORDER', "RUN ESCAPE", "REPETITION IS CHAOS", "ESCAPE RUN".
