If you enjoyed Bored Panda's article on the subreddit r/Sewing, I think you will like this one too!
It's called r/CrossStitch and the people who belong to this sub are just as creative and skilled.
Just one quick scroll and you can find a stitch of the meme that perfectly represents our quarantine mood, the legendary Bernie Sanders' pose at the inauguration, and plenty of other cool projects.
However, going through a subreddit that was created all the way back in 2010 can take you quite a while. So we hand-picked a set of photos of the most impressive works the members of r/CrossStitch have shared. Enjoy!
