A completed cross stitch project in a wooden hoop that depicts Trogdor stitched on white fabric.  Trogdor is a dragon man, with a S shaped, green body and wings.  There's one large, bulging, human arm, some stick drawing legs, a plume of smoke coming from his nostril, consumate Vs, and a billow of fire coming from his mouth.  The edges of the fabric within the hoop have been burned, with spaced out holes and brown scorch marks, as if Trodgor got carried away.

Sing along if you know the words!
"Trogdor was a man, I mean he was a dragon man..."

Oooh I see. If were the designer, and I saw my paid content available for free on the internet, I would be devastated. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

A cross-stitched planet-- like Saturn, with a ring-- in the rainbow colors of a Pride flag. It is photographed in a rainbow hoop, and surrounded by an abundance of beads in the same colors.

The biggest of the Pride Flag Planets! This one's another one that got its way into Xstitch Magazine-- in one of the mixtape issues: xstitchmag.com/modern-cross...

Inspired by modern photos of Saturn, of course-- lots of fun with the colors and shadows here!

A hooped cross stitch project showing the meme that says "Really? Right in front of my Trodgor?" with a figure with a scowl on their face and holding a tiny Trodgor the Burninator.  2025. Pattern by Steotch.

Did you hear that @steotch.bsky.social is having a warm-up for their upcoming Steotchalong in 2026? I stitched my ornament using one of my favorite characters ever, Trogdor the Burninator. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Put the last stitch in this today. Many years of off and on work. Halloween at Hawk Run Hollow. Maybe I'll have it framed by next Halloween. #crossstitch

I've been digging around on the pantone site you linked and it's all clearly written by ChatGPT.

A framed cross-stitch piece that reads โ€œIf at first you donโ€™t succeed, blame the dice,โ€ with several colorful D&D-style dice stitched under the text. The fabric has soft pastel tones, and the piece is displayed in a mother-of-pearl style tiled frame that reflects subtle iridescent colors.

Steotchalong just announced their next event! Sharing my finish from last year as a little hype boost โ€” Iโ€™m so ready for another round of stitching chaos and clever clues. Anyone else jumping into the next World Championship of Cross Stitch?

The pattern for my Book Quilt Tracker is now up on Etsy! Basically it's 16 quilt squares with color suggestions and all sorts of options for how to customize it to your reading!

I had a lot of fun stitching this, and I hope you will too! Though I suggest starting with a smaller canvas. ๐Ÿ˜‚
