Rainbow coloured geometric pattern cross stitch design

Rainbow coloured geometric pattern


This is a rainbow coloured pattern which is great for use on cards or repeated a few times for larger pieces of stitching such as cushions.

Originally I intended to draw a spiders web all in black as a halloween design but as I drew it I ended up with this repeating pattern. So I tidied it up and added some cool colours. I like the way that the light purple on the edge looks a little like sweet little flowers.

Not many of my friends have heard of Samurai Jack so at first I was just a little sceptical but actually it is a brilliant cartoon. Filled with action, adventure and sometimes it gets a little bit strange.

In this design I have used dark grey stitches to outline his white coat. In the show he does not have outlines but being a white coat on a white background it defiantly needs an outline. However if you decide to sew this on a differently coloured aida (I recommend dark blue or black) you could leave out the dark grey outlines and fill them in with white instead.

This is a Fan art design. Samurai Jack is produced by Cartoon Network Studios and Rough Draft Studios

Retro half and half Cross stitch Alphabet design

Retro half and half Cross stitch Alphabet design

I created this alphabet to make a bold impact on my stitching. This set of letters is very well suited to be sewn in bright and bold colours or perhaps sew the full stitches and the back stitches in different complementary colours. You will need to leave plenty of space if you want to write long words.

I would recomend sewing the backstitch with two strands of thread rather than one to make them bolder and more suited to sitting with the full crosses. If the backstitch is too thin it may get lost under all if your other lovely stitches.
