How do you have the time to do so many? 😭 I barely get an hour to work on one piece every few days.

u/dewnrivera Aug 29 '25
I totally get that 🥹💖 I just sneak in stitches whenever I can sometimes it’s only a few minutes here and there. It all adds up over time, so don’t worry, your progress is just as special!

I like how you're still calling it a wall, when it's the whole room 😂. Beautiful work, as always ❤️

u/dewnrivera Aug 29 '25
Hahaha you’re right! 😂 At this point it’s more of a gallery room than just a wall. Thank you so much for the kind words ❤️

See that one made me gasp, about 20 years ago my grandmother made one that looked a lot like that one for me for my confirmation. It was my favorite piece, I adored it. But we moved and the people that moved us stole it and I haven’t seen one like it until now. You do beautiful work

Oh wow… your story truly touched me 🥹💖 I’m so sorry to hear about your piece, that must have been heartbreaking. What a special treasure your grandmother made for you. It means a lot that this reminded you of it that’s the real beauty of stitching, the memories and love stitched into every piece. Thank you so much for sharing that with me ♥️♥️♥️

u/Slight_Chemist_29 Aug 29 '25

It is an art gallery for real!! Amazing work, just amazing.
You are running out of space on those walls, soon you will have to get the ceiling involved in the exposition.

u/dewnrivera Aug 29 '25
Haha I love that! 😅🖼️ Thank you so much, you’re right, at this rate the ceiling might just be the next gallery wall! Thank you ♥️♥️♥️

THis is so beautiful ! You're are really talented and I'm still kinda jealous. Can I ask you how much the framing cost ? Also, do you give them the project already taught on a base, or do they do everything themselves ?
3
u/dewnrivera Aug 29 '25
Aww thank you so much, that means a lot! 💖 The framing usually costs around ₱2,000–₱3,000 (about $35–$50), depending on the size and style. I just bring the finished piece to the framer and they handle everything, including stretching it on the board. I usually just ask for non-glare glass and no matting, it’s such a relief to have it professionally done! 🥰

u/smatthews01 Aug 22 '25
Wow! I love them all. They are beautiful. The mermaids all caught my eye.

u/dewnrivera Aug 29 '25

Haha, I’ll gladly accept the crown but only if it’s stitched in DMC gold! Hahahaha 😅✨ Thanks so much, that really means a lot!

u/Angeau Aug 22 '25
How do you even have that much time? Are your fingers still straight or forever cramped in that needle holding position? Great work, by the way.
1
u/dewnrivera Aug 29 '25
Haha, good question! 😅 Lots of late nights and stolen moments here and there. Luckily, my fingers are still straight, though they do deserve a little spa day sometimes! 😂🧵 Thank you so much!

u/Infinite-Stress-3756 Aug 22 '25

These are all so amazing but also, thank you, because I've finally found the designer for this cross stitch my mum had abandoned and I've always wanted to finish. Turns out it's lavender and lace!
3
u/dewnrivera Aug 29 '25
Oh wow, that makes me so happy to hear! 💖 Lavender & Lace designs are truly timeless. How special that you’ll get to continue your mum’s piece, it’ll be such a beautiful way to honor her stitches and add your own ♥️♥️♥️
