Cross-stitch project

Filed under: General — 1:01 pm

I recently finished my latest cross-stitch project. It was a gift for my old boss Patrick (you may remember him having a sense of humor) regarding a joke a comedian once made regarding what we did (work in a university housing office).

I made the pattern myself using KXStitch. It’s inspired by patterns from Julie Jackson’s amazing Subversive Cross Stitch. The font is Jason Kottke‘s always useful Silkscreen.

    That’s fantastic.

    I’ll never forget what a developer friend of mine said when he started doing cross stitch, “It’s just pixels!”

    Beautiful and seamless blend of hand-wrought craft and technology.

    The message? Brilliant!
