About TheStitchDude

I turn wild, fantastical ideas into insanely detailed cross-stitch patterns for cross-stitchers who crave complexity.

During COVID, I picked up cross-stitch. Between raising three kids and juggling work, it became a quiet, focused escape.

I’ve loved pixel art for as long as I can remember. I’ve been building websites and creating digital art for decades, always drawn to detail, structure, and color. Cross-stitch felt like pixel art you could hold in your hands.

More recently, I started using AI as a creative partner. It lets me explore bigger, stranger, more fantastical ideas, which I then carefully translate into dense, stitch-ready patterns with intention and precision.

TheStitchDude was created to share those designs with others who love complex charts, rich color palettes, and stitching that feels like making a tiny piece of art, one stitch at a time.
