So freaking sad right now...

I finished this today. Had decided just yesterday to add the word to the bottom corner, and then woke up this morning to the news.

Damn :( :( :(

What an amazing piece of artwork! This is very cool and so fitting to finish it today even though it's very bittersweet.

Thanks! I've been working on it for a few weeks - fastest I've ever done a cross-stitch, in part because I'm newly unemployed, and in part because my kids decided to hold a Harry Potter marathon over the holidays. So all of the performances were fresh in my mind this morning.

That's really lovely. And prescient, that you thought to add "Always" just yesterday.

*love*

Thank you!

It did feel really weird this morning, hearing the news. Eerie. I don't believe in premonitions or weird coincidences, so... ::shiver::

Gorgeous cross stitch. I love it. The pictures are great and Always really works on it. Timing huh?
*clings* Did you create the pattern or buy it?

annafugazzi January 15 2016, 03:29:20 UTC

Thank you! I made it. First time I've ever created my own pattern, though I had taken someone else's existing Star Trek: Next Generation pattern and created my own Deep Space Nine pattern based off of it.

I'm moving the word a few spaces to the right, as it looks a little crowded. It's been interesting working with a pattern where if it doesn't look quite right, I can't tell myself "Just go with it, whoever designed this must have known what she was doing" ;)

It's a gorgeous pattern. Well done. I love them all.

I've not done much cross stitch (I lose track of counting) but I've made my own embroidery patterns. I enjoy it but it can be a little nerve racking.

This is beautiful! Great work!

Yeah, I cried when I heard the news. I didn't know him personally, but his performances were so touching that it feels like I did.

Thank you so much!

Yeah I never cry at celebrity deaths. I feel a little down, but no tears. This one, though... I ended up watching one of those "compilations of best performances" and had to stop halfway through :( :( :(

Beautiful. Always, indeed. RIP Alan, we love you.
