Hildebrandt Brothers Star Wars Poster Cross Stitch

star wars

Natalie Owen worked on the greatest cross stitch pattern I think I’ve ever seen: the Star Wars poster by the Hildebrandt brothers. It’s 13″ x 16″. Natalie used the black cloth to her advantage here and did the piece as negative space, so she didn’t have to fill in all the black spaces with stitches. It used 50 colors of thread.

For me, I known of the Hildebrandt brothers from their Marvel paintings in the 80’s and 90’s (they were Alex Ross before Alex Ross ever was!), and just found out they were the ones responsible for creating this iconic poster.

Pet Semetary Cross Stitch Sampler

Pet Semetary Cross Stitch Sampler

I’m a HUGE Stephen King fan, so of course I was super-stoked to hear about the new tv show Under The Dome. I loved the book (which, by the way, is also HUGE), and when I heard that Hank from Breaking Bad (Dean Norris) was playing the baddie I was super-duper stoked!

Unfortunately, the internet says that there aren’t any Under The Dome crafts (Let’s try to remedy that, shall we?), so we’ll just have to make do with a Pet Semetary craft for the time being (and by “make do” I mean “this is awesome”). Emily of Pyro Dog Pins is the genius behind this cross stitch sampler, and the pattern is available for purchase at her Etsy shop.

Wreck-It Ralph Cross Stitch

Wreck-It Ralph Cross Stitch
Wreck-It Ralph is a delightfully geeky movie about a video game bad guy who just wants to be a hero.  It’s one of my most favorite movies, and I’m always looking for craft projects that are Wreck-It Ralph themed.  I stumbled across this awesome pattern last week, and plan on getting started on a bad-guy affirmation of my own soon.
