I'm afraid my taste is a bit off-beat. I manage to knit and quilt normally, but cross stitch is a special outlet for me and all my subjects are tongue-in-cheek (and almost all from the same pattern designer). Here's my first effort, a joke on texting:
And from there I went on to make a number of silly projects from the same designer.
A goof on the
double rainbow guy:
Arrested Development-inspired goofyness:
Family Guy:
My first really challenging project, Breaking Bad-inspired "Kiss the Cook":
And last year's mystery Stitch-a-long from Steotch (the maker of all the above patterns). This Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction (I left the mis-quoted Bible verse out of the picture - the mis-quote is from the movie though):
I've done two others not from Steotch. I got this first pattern to make for DH who had a kidney transplant about 10 years ago, but when he saw it he was not entertained, so I didn't make it for him. However a friend of mine's husband is having terrible kidney problems which will soon culminate in a transplant. They have a wicked sense of humor, so I made it for them (with the assurance that if it ever became un-funny, they could get rid of it, destroy it, whatever they needed to do - completely guilt-free). While I was working on it, my dad saw it and I explained the story of who I was making it for and he said if they didn't want it, he would like it. He is the one who donated the kidney to my DH, so I am making him one too. I can't find the picture of the finished one, but you get the idea:
The second one is my own design, based on a poster my friend (the one I made the kidney one for) posted on FaceBook and said she HAD to have it. I felt like not only did she need to have it, it needed to be cross stitched, not just a poster. So I made up a little pattern for the lettering (the original was all black and white, but I felt like the word "life" was begging for some color/bolding) and found a free pattern for a tree. I am quite proud of it and might make a second for myself.
I am currently working on the second "Urine for a Treat" for my dad, as well as this year's mystery stitch-a-long from Steotch which has one more installment but so far appears to be some joke about Snoopy (much easier than last year's Samuel L. Jackson!)
In the queue, I have a great pattern for an X-ray of a hand and a few other goofy Steotch patterns that I may or may not get around to (I mean really, how many bad pop culture jokes can one person stitch?!) And hopefully I will pick up the Rainbow Birds kit!
Hi and Welcome to the forum too.
