Vader cross stitch

Fiber & Textile Completed Projects

Hi everyone, this is my first post ever here :relaxed:been a long time lurker. This is also my first big cross stitch project. I’ve made little cross stitches before in the past in HS, the little kits you can buy at Walmart/Michaels.

Anyways, this ended up taking me 2 years to complete, between starting other projects in between and working. There’s been a lot of late nights that turned to early mornings and a lot of swearing :sweat_smile: I wished I started taking progress shots since the beginning, but here’s some once I did start taking them

Welcome to the LettuceCraft community! I hope you like it here. I really love your cross stitch, very unusual colour scheme. This isn’t exactly a simple starter project, looks like it’s huge and a black background is extra challenging. I love that you framed it as well, I hope it’s now taking pride of place in the best spot in your house :slight_smile:

I don’t think you can see it yet, as a lurker, but for active members, we actually have a thread where we all share our in progress shots & motivate eachother. So please join in the discussions and discover the secret places where LettuceFriends gather.

Unbelievable, wow. I can’t even imagine the work a piece of this size & complexity took. All that black thread, oh my gosh. Incredible!

That is stunning! The seemingly ‘random’ colours are very effective.

At least it was not all black…that would drive me to not make it…I love all the colors…it is vibrant and really blends together to make such an impressive piece!

haha, even though it’s not all black (and Vader is) it was too much black for me :sweat_smile: I thought about just using a black canvas, but it would probably make it even harder :and drive me insane :crazy_face:

Somehow, despite the process shots, I only just clocked that this isn’t black fabric. Amazing.

Wow, this is amazing!

I’m glad you posted progress shots, it made me realize how many colours are in this piece. I was sure it was black canvas until I saw it wasn’t.
