[Crafts] A Funimation Postcard in Cross-Stitch w/Pattern Provided
Title: My Funimation Postcard Entry, Or How I Wasted the Past Two Weeks and Learned That Cross-Stitch Could Be Painful to One’s Arms

Character(s) or Pairing(s): England
Rating: G
Warnings: Lots of tiny, tiny stitches
Summary: England is cross-stitched one over one on 32-count evenweave linen with DMC thread.
The cross stitch pattern was created using this sketch from Himaruya's blog:
Here is England's face before I added the Union Jack background:
And here is the thumbnail for the full size card:
The pattern is 97 stitches wide by 90 stitches high. I stitched this one over over on 32-count evenweave linen, so it would fit Funimation's size limit but you can use whatever size fabric you what. My only suggestions would be three over one for size 14 or 16-count fabric and the standard two over one for size 18 or 22-count fabric. I used DMC thread, but if anyone needs a conversion to Anchor, just let me know!
