Awesome stitcher stitchFIGHT made this Shaun of the Dead cross stitch for the Embroidery Hoopla 2 swap over at Craftster. Her partner Javede is one lucky lady.
It’s absolutely perfect. The hands look amazing! It’s done on painted 18-count white aida, which is a fantastic idea. I may try that the next time I want to do a cross stitch on black (so I can see what I’m doing).
I’m sure I’ll be posting a lot more geeky pumpkins in the next week, but here’s four I found today on Craftster:
Mario and Luigi from Super Mario Brothers by Balatong
Ralph Wiggum from The Simpsons by craftADDchick
Sailor Moon by llia
Zombie Kids by Germanica’s husband
I love the shading on Craftster user stitchFight‘s cross-stitched brains. She very bravely used DMC light effects floss which is not at all easy to stitch with.
I saw this shirt and said “whaaaaaaaat?” but in a good way! President Obama‘s approval ratings may not be sky high right now, but he sure can kick some zombie butt, and we all want a POTUS who can lead the country through a zombie apocolypse! Chris Piers is responsible for this awesome Obama Versus Zombie illustration that you can find on tee shirts and more at Tinaseamonster‘s etsy store.
Here are my favorite costumes that we’ve posted this year:
1. Brak by discomeat on Craftster
2. Zombie Potato by librarylolita on Craftster
3. KFC Colonel Sanders by chickenfeet on Craftster
