Hi, I'm Ryann, creator of Wild Violet Cross Stitch.
I'm a Graphic Designer who has been cross stitching for years. I love making unique patterns that match my style.
I design each counted cross stitch pattern with the process of stitching in mind. I'm not a big fan of confetti stitching (changing between colors often) and prefer to stitch with bold sections and a flat style.
I love seeing your finished pieces, share on social media with #wildvioletcrossstitch.

Programs I Use
My Process
I start in an app called Pixaki for iOS. It’s for pixel art and animation. I then export the PNG and import it into MacStitch to add any backstitching or fractional stitches. The export from MacStitch is then exported in the cross stitch format (on a grid with symbols and DMC colors)
I'm happy to share my process and I love to help out new designers!
Don't hesitate to reach out with any other questions.
