First Cross Stitch-Portal Tea Towel

Post by Phrasework »

I finally finished my first cross-stitch project, my own modification of the Portal "Best Friends Forever" companion cube design. I gave it to my husband for Valentines, and he loved it!

I made the PDF pattern myself in excel (I was at work at the time!) based on the exact dimensions of the towel, so I've attached that as well.

I think I like cross stitching. I used to do plastic canvas as a kid, and this was pretty easy to pick up because of that. Now I have to figure out my next project. Maybe something more challenging with more colors. :D

That looks very nice, I love the details you added besides the text and companion cubes.
Keep up the good work :D

Thanks all! It's on our kitchen towel rack, I don't want to actually USE it to dry my hands off, though, 'cause it's too cute.

I might make another towel to match with another theme, not sure what to do yet though.

What kind of towel did you use? I'd love to embroider a hand towel, but I'm terrified of messing it up.
Current Project(s): How much time do you have? LOL
