I’ve become completely enamored with the really fun, modern, eclectic, and trendy cross-stitch patterns on Etsy. I even have a favorite cross stitch store! (Go check her stuff out – if you love design, you’ll love her work!)
Being the complete nerd that I am, I just had to know how people were creating their own cross stitch designs. I did some digging, downloaded some software, imported the WordPress Logo and got to work! This was the perfect design to start playing with, it only took me about an hour to clean up from the import. I haven’t gone through pixel by pixel to make sure it’s 100% perfect yet and I probably won’t because …I mean really do I really need to justify that?
BUT – if you have been waiting for the day you could cross stitch the WordPress logo onto a piece of 14-count white Aida cloth with a single monochrome color and a simple single stitch…. well have I got news for you!!
