verycrossstitch.bsky.social @verycrossstitch.bsky.social · 08/07/2026My happy scrappy four patch has begun! Feel free to join in as a quilt-along. Super easy pattern: find some fabric that makes you happy, sew them together. Can be any size! Any block! I’m hand piecing and quilting so this will take approx 900 years. Plenty of time to join #quiltsky #stitchsky #epp 1110

verycrossstitch.bsky.social @verycrossstitch.bsky.social · 07/04/2026One of my first embroidery kits that’s not a sampler. I learned I *really* do not care for satin stitch. BUT I realized: this is my piece of cloth - I can do whatever I want! The body of the bottom moth has some new-to-me stitches. Keep the joy out there #stitchsky #embroidery 38104172
verycrossstitch.bsky.social @verycrossstitch.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Coming along! Looking forward to getting a few more stitches in later today or this weekend. It’s a great weight and very cozy! Question for the hive mind: how do you mark or sign your quilts? #stitchsky #quiltsky #queerquilter #quilts 690
verycrossstitch.bsky.social @verycrossstitch.bsky.social · 01/04/2026My first quilt top, and the point here is to finish and by hand. It’s going surprisingly quickly! My little boy can’t wait to snuggle it, so thank goodness for small graces. I actually really like that the stitching is an uneven. Guess I’m not a Type A quilter? #quiltsky #queerquilter #stitchsky 4180
verycrossstitch.bsky.social @verycrossstitch.bsky.social · 01/04/2026A cheerful way to spend this chilly mud-season day. At this rate, this quilt will take probably 12 years to finish. Maybe by then this field of rainbow flowers will only be a rainbow, and not need to be a sign to others #stitchsky #quiltsky #queerquilter #epp #quilt 1210

verycrossstitch.bsky.social @verycrossstitch.bsky.social · 31/12/2025I cut up fabric to sew back together. Trying to take small steps when I can. 010
verycrossstitch.bsky.social @verycrossstitch.bsky.social · 30/12/2025Because Danger is my middle name, I cut up a layer cake on four hours of sleep. I think they are square and the right size but I’m sure I’ll found otherwise in the next few days. Excited to try this fabric and pattern! #quiltsky #quilting 090
verycrossstitch.bsky.social @verycrossstitch.bsky.social · 26/12/2025Finishing my first quilt today! And wow am I having feelings about the quilting. My head knows the first attempt at anything is usually…suboptimal. And that’s okay! It’s how it’s supposed to be. My eye wishes for straighter lines but my heart is happy that it’s almost done! #quiltsky #stitchsky 2110
verycrossstitch.bsky.social @verycrossstitch.bsky.social · 27/11/2025Been working on this Needle Case from Jo Verso’s Complete Cross Stitch Course.

verycrossstitch.bsky.social @verycrossstitch.bsky.social · 16/10/2025@muellershewrote.com Mainah here. We’re excited about the Dem senate primary!

And she’s been doing it ever since. 010

verycrossstitch.bsky.social @verycrossstitch.bsky.social · 17/03/2025Slow and steady WIP. In addition to all of this *gestures wildly*, our family has faced loss, diagnoses, and new realities in the past month. Seriously considering designing a phoenix pattern. It would be my first. #stitchsky #crossstitch 1230
verycrossstitch.bsky.social @verycrossstitch.bsky.social · 14/02/2025WIP. I started this pattern before the inauguration because I was afraid of what was coming and thought this was a good representation. I had no idea. Now it’s my meditation for radical acceptance as I choose my next actions. #crossstitch #craftivism 0230
