I altered the patterns a bit by adding in some specialty stitches, beads, and metallic thread. [attach]773379[/attach] I think the satin stitch hearts are my favorite thing about it. I deliberately chose a cutesy alphabet to emphasize the contrast between the science fiction theme and traditional needlework. [attach]773380[/attach] At the top are two "blaster" guns. I used satin stitch on the blaster handles instead of cross stitches, and added a couple of French Knot buttons. Between the blasters is an Imperial TIE fighter. I did herringbone stitch with four strands of floss around the lettering for emphasis. I also used satin stitch to make the hearts rather than cross stitches. Next to the hearts (from the inside out) are an Algerian eyelet, two beads, and a Smyrna cross. [attach]773381[/attach] R2D2 and C3PO are stitched over one thread. I used tiny black beads for C3PO's eyes and R2D2's "eye". I used a gold metallic blending filament on one color of C3PO to give him a little extra shine. [attach]773383[/attach][attach]773382[/attach] If you're not a Star Wars fan - in Espisode IV: A New Hope, Obi Wan Kenobi describes Mos Eisley Spaceport to Luke Skywalker by saying, "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy." This sampler is meant to be a kind of "welcome" sign for my entryway (and also to be a joke). I'm a huge, huge Star Wars fan, and love being able to incorporate that into needlework and stitching projects. Note: This is my original work, but I do have a blog and have posted these pics on it before. So you may find them in one other place on the internet.

Star Wars Mos Eisley Villainy Sampler

Edited by mrichi1 at 2015-9-6 06:06

I created this sampler by combining two different patterns I purchased on Etsy. I altered the patterns a bit by adding in some specialty stitches, beads, and metallic thread.



I think the satin stitch hearts are my favorite thing about it. I deliberately chose a cutesy alphabet to emphasize the contrast between the science fiction theme and traditional needlework.



At the top are two "blaster" guns. I used satin stitch on the blaster handles instead of cross stitches, and added a couple of French Knot buttons. Between the blasters is an Imperial TIE fighter. I did herringbone stitch with four strands of floss around the lettering for emphasis. I also used satin stitch to make the hearts rather than cross stitches. Next to the hearts (from the inside out) are an Algerian eyelet, two beads, and a Smyrna cross.



R2D2 and C3PO are stitched over one thread. I used tiny black beads for C3PO's eyes and R2D2's "eye". I used a gold metallic blending filament on one color of C3PO to give him a little extra shine.



If you're not a Star Wars fan - in Espisode IV: A New Hope, Obi Wan Kenobi describes Mos Eisley Spaceport to Luke Skywalker by saying, "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy." This sampler is meant to be a kind of "welcome" sign for my entryway (and also to be a joke). I'm a huge, huge Star Wars fan, and love being able to incorporate that into needlework and stitching projects.

Note: This is my original work, but I do have a blog and have posted these pics on it before. So you may find them in one other place on the internet.
