CQtober 2024 - Day 7, Cross Stitch

#CQtober2024

Today's stitch is Cross Stitch!  I don't often stitch cross stitch on my crazy quilts, so it was fun to try something a little different than usual. 

I'm still struggling with some issues getting my edited videos out of the program, but I found a work around that seems to be working for now.  Thank goodness!  I consider myself pretty computer proficient, but this has been driving me a little bit crazy, and no, not in a good crazy quilt kind of way!  More like migraine inducing crazy.  :(

This was a super easy stitch.  I stitched it just like I would have if I were doing counted cross stitch, I stitched the first half of the cross going from left to right all the way across and then came back to finish.  The variations in this particular thread were pretty far apart, so there's more of a distinct change.  

Then I stitched lazy daisies in each quadrant of the crosses. On this thick fabric, the ones along the seam sort of disappeared into it.  Overall, I'm happy with how it turned out.  

The seam is a nice change from the other types of seams on here so far.
