Sick Fuck

I designed this cross stitch for a fellow stitcher, Valued Sony Customer. She once said that she got a real thrill when her partner called her a sick fuck, and that along with other things made me realize that she and I were kindred spirits.

Design Notes

I used a font and pattern from the Antique Pattern Library when designing this, and I encourage you to go there and design your own patterns as well so you can say whatever is on your mind in stitch.

Directions

Decide how best to position your text on the canvas. Leave enough space at the border for framing.

With blunt cross stitch needle, start stitching with cross stitches, switching colors according to the chart.

When finished, outline letters with backstitch according to chart.

Hand wash it gently in cold water and iron flat, and it's ready to frame.
