What's Next ... Title help needed!

Post by Kryss »

Okay, so I've finished my giiiiiiiant cross stitch, so what's next?

I've been pretty lucky this year in that an Australian magazine editor found my Etsy shop, loved my designs and has been commissioning projects from me. For my third project for her, I've designed something especially.

I've only just started stitching, so this is where I'm up to:

But I can't think of a title for the design. They are mostly star blocks so I've considered something star-like, but I can't come up with anything I like. Any suggestions?

Those are incredible! How did you design them? Did you use a software program?

They look like quilt blocks and that is what I am thinking of stitching for fun after I finish the baby sampler for my sister. I looked at my quilting software but I can't seem to make them into cross-stitch patterns.

Great design!

They are really great and with the quilt theme inherint in the design all I can think of is something like "Star Quilts" "Cross Stitch Quilt Stars" and so on.

Great idea.

Beautiful designs. unfortunately I'm not very creative when it comes to names, but something with "star" in it would surely fit. I guess something like "Kryss's firmament" would be to abstract :D
"Star Crossed Quilts" sounds great :D

Pinwheel Stars quilt blocks?

They remind me those pinwheels you blow on and they spin around. They also remind me of quile blocks. I really like the designs.

Thanks for all your suggestions. The best idea I've come up with so far is Stars Above, but I'm still not 100% on anything yet.

ladymyste, I use software to make my designs, but I'm still mostly doing them by hand. The software is just useful for printing off charts.

Thanks Kryss. I think I'm going to test some software programs. Ive always wanted to crosstitch some of my quilts into small samplers so that may be the way to go. Thanks again
