Ruby @z3z.co.uk · 30/09/2026I'm going to have a chat with my friend this weekend to see what she thinks. I'm hoping she'll have some suggestions for me. Understand what you're saying about the tension. I want some backing fabric and prob some interfacing too. Not sure if that'll make things worse... 🤦♀️ 010
Ruby @z3z.co.uk · 30/09/2026Thank you! ♥️ Hadn't thought about IKEA. I'll take a look & thanks for the tip. I was thinking to do what you've said with the folded over fabric (I've got a friend who's a wizard with a sewing machine) but I'm still looking around at what's available. 110

Ruby @z3z.co.uk · 29/09/2026Max Pigeon's new book 'Cross-Stitch by the Sea' is out and, as always with his patterns, it's an absolute delight! I love his stuff, and can't praise it enough. How about ditching the AI slop on Etsy and supporting a real designer? Buy his book! #CrossStitch #PigeonCoop #crafts 040
Ruby @z3z.co.uk · 27/09/2026Finished! Am going to make a hanging banner type of thing with a couple of wooden rods, but that's for later. Just glad to have it done for now. And the colours didn't run when I washed it 😅 #crossStitch #crafts 160

This aerial landscape is directly inspired by Dartmoor and I'd say I have another 30-ish hours to go? I'm now starting to fill in the fields for the sheep, the tor area will be done last as I'm still deciding whether I want a slope or not 😅 I hope you like it! #art 1714516663

Ruby @z3z.co.uk · 20/09/2026I tried Inkscape to make patterns and it'll work for tiny patterns, but it struggles when there's thousands of individual objects & slows to a crawl. Given that even a small pattern may have 2 or 3k stitches (so ~3k symbols) it's not ideal. Flosscross is free online & might work for you? 001

Ruby @z3z.co.uk · 04/09/2026I've always questioned the glasses of water one, but not even for the science behind it. I mean, what size is a glass? Shot glass, pint glass? Even if it was sound advice, it's so vague that it's completely meaningless. 330

Ruby @z3z.co.uk · 22/08/2026I love that you include the total number of stitches! As someone who prefers smaller patterns since I don't have a whole lot of time, this is so useful. I don't know why more designers don't include it as standard. And thanks for the RSS feed too. I'll be subscribing. 🩷 130
