Stitched by Margaret March, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada
October 13, 2023 “I'm working on the Amethyst pattern and it's coming along nicely! I did have to change the eye on the right because it looked a little cross-eyed. There's no backstitching on the pattern but I will probably add it around her eyes and along the dark line she’s outlined with. Here’s some photos of my progress!”

A Magnolia on Red Velvet - Martin Johnson Heade |
|
 |
|
Stitched by Rosie Fountain, Wakulla, Florida
September 10, 2023 “I just started A Magnolia on Red Velvet by Martin Johnson Heade (HEA005) on 28 ct natural light linen from Wichelt Imports. I don't use a hoop because it can distort the linen and it's harder on my hands, so I generally use sewing pins to keep fabric out of the way, but with this one I tried using enamel pins and it's amazing. It keeps the fabric really nicely and I don't get stuck in the hand a million times. This is my first SQ pattern and I'm about 2,350 stitches in and 4.2% complete after two days of work.”

I echo almost every other stitcher's comments that this hobby is just addicting. After I saw--and loved-- how someone else framed this piece, I mimicked it as closely as possible. Thanks for this wonderful site for challenging patterns. This was done on 18 count Aida.”

Stitched by Lynda Smyth, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on 36 count Edinburgh linen
December 18, 2022 “Thank you so much for your pattern of "In The Greenhouse"…The blending, the tweed look …and no outlining to do. I have found my "niche", and enjoy every hour. Recently professionally framed and is a centrepiece in the living room. It took one year, every day at least 2 to 3 hours. True enjoyment thru the worst of Covid. And am now working on Garden Delights or in my terms 'Tree of Life' …estimated time 3 years to completion. And that's ok by me.”

October 1, 2022 “I am Half Sick of Shadows, said the Lady of Shalott took me nearly three years to complete. The frame I believe puts the needlepoint into museum quality. It was so much fun to make this piece and subtly change the colors using unusual threads to create a masterpiece.”

I'm really not a crafty/artistic person, just an amateur cross stitcher for the last 6 or 7 years. So it just blows my mind that I can create something like this. It's really all down to the quality and detail of the charts and of course the amazing SQ app. Thank you again Scarlet Quince.”

Stitched by Christine Davies
January 24, 2022 “End of row update for Bibliotheque: around 72% complete. On the whole, it's an easy pattern (I am making it for my husband's office at his request) so the world map was a nice bit to get my teeth into. The bust not so much - it looks simple but there are numerous shades of black, brown and white in there, together with confetti stitches, and so the back is a bit bulky. However, I love, love, love working the books.”

The Young Botanist - Paul Peel |
|
 |
|
Stitched by Ann Lansing
September 12, 2021 “This is my first project with SQ. I was drawn to this painting, The Young Botanist, because it reminded me of myself as a child looking at plants on the beach at Rondeau Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada. In some images of this painting online, it appears that there is water between sky and sand, which at Rondeau is Lake Erie. Even the lighting from behind is exactly where the sun would have been at this beach. And as it turns out, the painter Paul Peel was born in my hometown of London, Ontario, an hour north of Rondeau Park. It's taken about a year to get 50% done but I stitch during whatever moments I can find.”

Stitched by Barb Houseworth, Traveler's Rest, South Carolina on muslin
July 28, 2021 “Just wanted to share my 5 1/2 years at three houses, finished project. It was worth it and dominates the living room. You have great patterns to choose from and am so grateful for the computer version. Makes it easy for amateurs like me. It ended up 41” x 36”, framed, since I was sort of freewheeling stitch size on muslin. I hope my next project is a bit faster to the finish!”

Stitched by Tina Thorson

I had completed almost half the project before I realized that I mis-measured and ended up having to leave off 3 columns on the right. Lesson learned - now I start in the middle. But I have to say, it’s less gratifying.
BTW this is the Undine pattern and represents 7 months of work.”

August 18, 2020 “Great news, I have finished "The Old Cupboard Door". I must say I have been greatly helped by the lockdown in France between mid-March and mid-May. I had to stop all my other activities, and so spent long evenings happily stitching away. Still needs to be cleaned, framed, etc, nevertheless, I thought it was worth sending you a photo or two! I started in October 2014, so I've been slow, but more or less regular – I was slightly quicker at the beginning, carried away by my enthusiasm, I guess, and not as quick in the last third, but never bored.”

I'm still baffled by embroidery floss - how on Earth is it a good idea to have a six ply skein that needs winding, then separating, then re plying? Why doesn't it just come on a bobbin like sewing thread? It is illogical.”

Stitched by Jeanette Darmanin, Spring Hill, Florida on 18-count aida
July 5, 2019 “Well St. Cecelia is finally finished and in time to present it to my grandson Fr. Dan Darmanin. Dan was ordained a Catholic priest on June 1, 2019. After five years of stitching, this is the results. She is just beautiful and worth all the time I put into her. You might recall that I told you that my grandson was at that time a seminarian preparing for the priesthood. One day he showed me the picture of St. Cecelia an asked me if I could stitch it because she was the patron saint for organists as also played the organ. Well I immediately thought of the Scarlet Quince Co. Since I had already finished Monet’s Iris, I knew that there was no other company that could do this picture justice. You certainly captured her beautifully. I thank you so much and so does Fr. Dan. He has blessed her and hung her on a wall in his office. Thank you again for making this picture into a chart.”

Windflowers - John William Waterhouse |

Stitched by Suzanne Goolsby, Castle Rock, Colorado on 32-count linen
March 15, 2019 “With such a detailed and colorful background, the piece automatically--and necessarily-- falls into an English-style stitch pattern. So much so, in fact, that the dress and larger single-color sections require continuing the English stitching throughout. Using the (easier?) American stitches, especially on the linen, will cause the linen threads to roll together and produce visible horizontal lines in the finished tapestry.”

Puddle Jump (smaller) - Alfred Currer |

Stitched by Charles Gerton, Lynnwood, Washington on 40-count silk canvas using single strands of DMC floss
January 17, 2019 “Thought you might like to see Puddle Jumper rendered on 40-count silk canvas. Since only 1 thread of DMC cotton floss can be used on 40-count silk, I rewrote the chart so that 1 stitch in the original became 4 stitches in mine, 2 of each color for each symbol, in a box pattern: where L is the lighter color and D is the darker color of the blended colors. The 9 single color symbols had 4 stitches of the color. Took about 1,900 hours over 2 years.”

It is also the combination of two colours in one stitch - that puts them above others and makes resulting pictures beautiful. Myself I am busy with several Christmas and birthday presents at the moment ….but…. right after that it is “Duchess de Polignac” by Vigee Le Brun! I don’t think anybody else has done it yet according to your Gallery page, not that it matters really J , I like the picture, it is very romantic.”

Stitched by Dave Perry, Haute-Vienne, France on 16-count aida
November 25, 2017 “I started this in February 2013 as a retirement project, I had thought it would take about a year. That was before I received the pattern! After finishing the first page I estimated it would take about 5 years to complete, not a bad guess as it is now the end of November 2017--------4 years 10 months and the stitching is finished, now just needs washing, stretching and framing. I have thoroughly enjoyed the complexity of the pattern and am really pleased with its accuracy. I am amazed that via a cross stitch pattern with no back stitching the beauty of her face has been so perfectly represented. My wife is now happy to have a bit more of my time, but she is already wondering what I can find to do with that extra time! Thank you Scarlet Quince for the challenge and the pleasure this has given me.”

Miyamoto Musashi Killing a Giant Nue - Utagawa Kuniyoshi |
|
 |
|
Stitched by Lorraine Wiener, Rancho Palos Verdes, California on 18-count needlepoint canvas with 2 strands, continental stitch
September 3, 2017 “Two years, nine months to complete Miyamoto Musashi Killing a Giant Nue by Utagawa Kuniyoshi. I have a habit of not completely following directions because I get bored easily. So I added many different colors and thread textures, added stitches and changed the pattern. Originally it had Mr. Kuniyoshi's cartouches on top and bottom. I eliminated them because I figured it was what he had to say, not me. During this project I worked full time as a teacher/librarian at an inner city school, combated a recurrence of Melanoma in my lymph glands, surgery, nearly dying from the immunotherapy administered to me, placed my mother in assisted living then a nursing home and now memory care, cleaned her home and sold it. When the cancer returned I cried. Not because of the return of the cancer but because I worried that I would never complete this project. I am very proud of my completed project.”

March 27, 2017 “My Mom is Georgene Birchett- she has completed several of your pieces. She turned 90 on the 26th (March) and just days before completed the very large "B is for Basket". Mom had a stroke several years back and her right side was effected. She was right handed but after her stroke she taught herself to write with her left hand. It's never been perfect but she definitely does not give up easily! She completed the whole piece by Jesee Wilcox Smith with her left hand, which looks amazing. Another hurdle she has been working on overcoming is Macular Degeneration...So not only did she complete the piece using her left hand, but she also did it with one "good" eye.”

January 26, 2016 “I started it 4 1/2 years ago, when it first appeared on Scarlet Quince, and have finished two larger projects (on "deadline"--for gifts) in the meantime. I should finish sometime this February. I have also mastered pinhole thread attachment and blending; need more parking practice as I still prefer to "color by symbol"; and I will have to figure out railroading with my next project. Love the challenge--it's like Sudoku with a finished product! I have never had anyone ask to post my unfinished work before, so here it is. I'll send it again framed. If you are contemplating your first SQ pattern-as I did for years before I finally jumped--any Redoute is a good choice.”

Stitched by Charmaine Casey, Smith Station, Alabama on 18-count aida
December 30, 2015 “The finished pattern area is 27.5 x 21.3. I did a time study on this project, timing one of each size pattern page. It is a 3681 hour of labor of love. I am so grateful to Scarlet Quince for the amazing pattern. This is an heirloom to be passed down for generations. I am so proud of this picture and can't stop being amazed that I made this.”

Stitched by Jacky Cooper, West Wales, UK on 16-count aida
December 19, 2015 “This has taken nearly two years to complete. I stitched it on 16 count fabric. I really enjoyed doing it but did have a couple of short breaks from stitching it. Nevertheless I am quite pleased with the result. I have now decided to use 18 count fabric, for my next project.”

The Hailstorm - Thomas Hart Benton |
|
 |
|
Stitched by Cathy Leahy, Havre, Montana on 14-count aida with 4 strands
September 29, 2015 “Here is a picture of my Hailstorm project. It's not a good picture. I'll see if I can do better. My daughter wanted it quite large, so did it on 14 count Aida. Two threads didn't fill it well so I went to four threads (3 would have been good, but obviously not possible with blended colors. It worked beautifully, but I had to be pretty disciplined about not leaving holes to come back to, as it was hard to get all that thread through already full holes. That led to a lot of needle parking and I had to loop the thread through the needles, rather than having tails. But using the four threads (two of each color) sure did ensure that both colors were always visible. It was a challenge and a lot of fun. Thanks again.”

I have included pictures of my progress. It was stitched on Lakeside Linen 32ct Attic Lace. The finished piece is very large, approx. 20" x 29". When I bought the pattern, I thought the background was black (looking at the picture on the website) but it is a dark navy blue.”

I learned to begin a cross stitch project from the center of the chart and have done so here - maybe I'll start in the upper left hand corner on my next SQ chart! I agree with my fellow stitchers in that the depth and richness of the colors are not easily captured in a photograph - it is more beautiful in person.”

It's now framed and hanging in my family room where it evokes memories of my grandparents every time I look at it.”

Fashion Shop - August Macke |

 |

Stitched by Kathy Steiglitz, Virginia on 18-count aida
August 24, 2012 “I started the Fashion Shop by Macke and had finished 3 panels when I realized that I had cut the material too short. We discussed adding some material but that there would be a bump. That was July 2009 and I didn't pick it up again, to start all over until January of 2011. We had purchased a Lazy Boy chair that is a little art deco and I knew that that cross stitch was the perfect pattern for a pillow for that chair. Since I decided on an actual place for the pillow I started it up again. It was pretty discouraging to do the first 3 panels all over again, but I did. Here's the great pillow. It cost $85. After my fiasco of material being too short, it took me 18 months to complete.”

I think it looks amazing, and I am so glad I decided to stitch this work of art. Thank you for offering this pattern! Now I can turn my attention to the other two patterns I am working on, Take the Fair Face of Woman by Sophie Anderson, and Sense of Hearing, one of the Lady and the Unicorn patterns. Hopefully, I will be sending pics of my progress on these sometime soon. So much to do, so little time!”

November 8, 2011 “Here's the final. My daughter got it at her wedding last weekend and everyone was stunned. I always frame behind non-glare glass - I find that that glass blurs the stitches just the tiniest bit so that the cross-stitch looks like a painting or a photo. Not one person there realized it was sewn. And of course the framing made it extra-spectacular. Anyway, thanx for making the pattern available, and for allowing me to make such a special gift.”

I am awaiting more aida (drat, 18 count not available locally have to order online) to begin on pattern MUC013 Poppies, this one's mine mom!”

I started this on Feb. 15, right after breast cancer surgery, and finished all that I intended to complete yesterday, April 16. I decided to allow the pattern to sort-of fade out on the bottom instead of being solid all across. I used 18 count fiddler cloth and stitched a square of gold thread cross stitches and one square of half-cross stitches around her head to offer some contrast. I have three more patterns that I intend to stitch. Your products offer such satisfaction at the conclusion of the stitching. Thank you so much. ”

Anemones and Lilacs in a Blue Vase - Odilon Redon |
|
 |
|
Stitched by Hallie Wake, Pleasanton, California on 18-count aida
February 21, 2010 “I made Anemones and Lilacs in a Blue Vase by Odilon Redon into a pillow, using 18 count Aida. I used the sewing method and it took me about four months of stitching about 4-5 hours a day. (The "sewing method" is when you make the needle go down and back up in one motion so that your sewing hand stays on top of the fabric; and the "stabbing method" (not the most pleasant name!) is when you push the needle to the back, bring your hand around to the back to pull it through, then push the needle up to the front again in a separate motion. I have always used the sewing method whenever possible, i.e. when there are several stitches of the same color close together. It's twice as fast when I can keep my hand on top and go down and up in one stitch. But I guess you can't do that when you have your work on a frame since you need to bend the fabric enough to get the needle through. I was worried that not using a frame would mean the final product would come out lumpy but it doesn't, especially when it is put into a decorative frame at the end. I hold a single dowel in my left hand with the left edge of the Aida fabric wrapped around it while I sew with my right hand from right to left.)”

Gentleman Writing a Letter - Gabriel Metsu |

Stitched by JoAnne Nantz, JoAnne Nantz Needleworks & Framing, Holiday, Florida on 28-count Jobelan Pewter with 2 strands of floss, over 2
September 16, 2009 “I used a 28ct. Jobelan Pewter. I stitched over two! Reason being, (1) I have cataracts now and for the past two years they have been getting worse, plus I knew it was going to be hanging up high in the shop for a long time before I bring him home. (I have a big Dutch theme throughout most of the living areas in my home, so he will fit in nicely.) (2) Being that I operate a stitch shop, I needed to prove to some "doubting thomases" that they can stitch ANY pattern on ANY count, etc., etc. It took me 32 months to complete, BUT I stitched about 15 other assorted designs for displays in my shop during this period of time. In addition to all the stitching I do, I also do all the framing for me and the shop - all custom framing- so, I am a busy bee, but I usually am able to put at least 4-7 hours ea. day (and night!! ha!) to do stitching. My email is nantzjm at msn.com -- I never mind answering questions.” (original picture had a light fixture reflected in it -- this is an update without the reflection -- SQ)

Miranda - Sir Frank Dicksee |

Stitched by Heather Aquilino, Northern Virginia on 18-count aida
October 11, 2009 “This is the first Scarlet Quince pattern I have finished, and I have never been happier with my finished piece. The patterns are easy to follow and stunning in their detail. It is very important that you continue stitching the pattern onto the next page, and do not stitch one page at a time. I did not realize this until I saw my finished piece and there were page lines I cannot get out, no matter how many times I ironed it. I chose a dark wooden frame, because it reminded me the wooden railings of a ship. I am working on Sloop by Winslow Homer next and cannot wait to see how it turns out.”

The Night Cafe - Vincent Van Gogh |
|
 |
|
Stitched by David Glaser, Fort Myers, Florida on 22-count aida
“I started The Night Café by Vincent Van Gogh 5 months ago. I am stitching on
Aida 22 count, over 2, single stitched. The completed size will be 44 X 37 inches. As they say -- Roman was not built in a day and neither will this be
stitched in a day. It will more than likely take 5 years.”

Stitched by Martha Brown, Coral Springs, Florida on 18-count aida
“This is the finished John Singer Sargent’s Spanish Fountain (10" x 15"). This was done on 18 count aida, which is what I usually use when the whole picture is stitched. Now I’m working on "The Horse Fair" by Rosa Bonheur. You have so many beautiful charts it’s very hard to choose what to work on next!”

Stitching the Standard - Edmund Blair-Leighton |
|
 |
|
Stitched by Kate Ash, Cheshire, England on 18-count aida
“I don’t get much opportunity to stitch at the moment, which is why this pattern seems to be taking me so long to complete. It was given to me as a Christmas present last year and, one year on, I thought you might be interested in seeing its progress. It’s an absolutely beautiful pattern, which I am thoroughly enjoying spending time on.”

This parking tutorial was wonderful. Although I have been cross stitching for many years, I had never heard of this technique. Thank you so much.
