Dracula cross-stitch sampler pattern

Since I've had time on vacation, I finished up a cross-stitch pattern I started a year ago in the first Dracula Daily round, based on the words Dracula uses to greet Jonathan Harker when he comes to the castle: "Welcome to my house. Come freely, go safely, and leave some of the happiness you bring".

I wanted a sampler for my front hall, but all the patterns I could find were very Hot Topic Goth. Nothing wrong with that, but my goth aesthetic is more "creepy thing found behind the wall in an old attic", and I wanted a pattern that my aunt wouldn't realize was anything out of the ordinary. I was looking around for inspiration and stumbled on an 1871 sampler by 12-year-old Jemima Clements in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. It's a little bit early for Dracula but the aesthetic was spot on, so I spent a long time squinting at a zoom of the best download of it they had to copy the wolves and the letters, and then left it for almost a year because I got frustrated trying to figure out how to get a good-formatted pattern out.

When we came up on a year I transcended frustrated and went with the good-old fashioned grandma method and transferred my pixels to a spreadsheet. So on the off chance you want a creepy Dracula sampler for your front hall, I now have it in .pdf and a downloadable Google Sheet. The .pdf is formatted to print on legal paper, but it will be a bit small that way; you are welcome to fiddle with the spreadsheets to get it the size you want.

PDF of the pattern of the Dracula quote ^this will not work if your browser redirects to https because my webhost messed that up, but it should work if you force http

Google Drive link to a shareable/downloadable Sheets file

The pattern uses 7-10 different thread colors; I don't believe in locking in brand-name floss, so the pattern includes color description and it's up to you to find stuff in your stash that looks good together.

I could not come up with a decision on the border, so the options are:

Make all the flowers plain lavender

Use a variegated purple for the flowers

Pick 4-6 different shades of lavender/light purple and alternate them - this is most similar to Jemima's border

Use the "allium flower" pixel art pattern I coded into the pattern (recommended only if you recognized the allium flower pixel art pattern I used.)

#dracula daily #dracula #cross stitch #cross-stitch #sampler #embroidery #pattern #welcome to my house #come freely #go safely #and leave some of the happiness you bring #don't recommend putting this on the front door since the caveats on the welcome are pretty vague #wolves #the children of the night #not the music the original sampler meant #(probably but never underestimate the creepiness of twelve year old girls)#(I don't know why else you'd do howling wolves for a prayer about music)

On this playlist, I want to celebrate some long songs, songs over ten minutes (though most will be much longer). I’ve seen songs like the following shunned for their length, which I find simply deplorable. These songs are just as beautiful as any other pieces of music and are equally worthy of celebration. Songs like these come in all sorts of forms, but I am most used to them being from ambient and progressive genres, so feel free to add some of your favorites! Because they are typically viewed in a different light, I am going to exclude classical works in this playlist.

“Station to Station” by David Bowie

“Black Unity” by Pharoah Sanders

“Close to the Edge” by Yes

“Tubular Bells” by Mike Oldfield

“Autobahn” by Kraftwerk

“Discreet Music” by Brian Eno

“The Heavenly Music Corporation” by Fripp & Eno

“In a Silent Way” by Miles Davis

“Long Season” by Fishmans

“Machine Gun” by The Peter Brötzmann Octet

Would anyone be interested in music playlists I put together?

#daily life with mercy #I will not be offended if the answer is no LMAO #I am very particular about my music so 99/100 times #when someone is like 'oh listen to this kavetham playlist' or whatever #I say 'oh sure!' knowing full well I am not going to do it #my biggest toxic trait #in my defense people will put playlists together so incorrect that it actually annoys me #I'm offering this mostly as motivation to go through and properly sort some of my music by mood for writing purposes #Jordan and Blu are the only people that can recommend me music

The World Will Decide - Negativland

Negativland's The World Will Decide is an excellent album that covers important topics of today's world surrounding technology. It mentions data collection, privacy, advertising, "content", and the terrors of modern technology in general. My favorite track is More Data.

Apple Music:

Bandcamp:

Spotify:

pérenne : adj. qui dure longtemps, qui dure indéfiniment.

ex : "Le monde n’est qu’une branloire pérenne." (Réf: Montaigne, Essais, Livre III, chapitre II.)

1/10

lasting : enduring or able to endure a long period of time.

Even thought the form of the adjective looks feminine, its writing is constant regardless of the gender of the noun it refers to.

Comes from the latin perennis, lit. "that lasts all year", "permanent".

Happy Dracula Daily 2023, all! I'm guessing many followers already know there's a Dracula musical, but if you didn't, consider yourself informed. :D It's got music by Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll and Hyde, Scarlet Pimpernel, Death Note) and lyrics by Don Black and Christopher Hampton (Sunset Boulevard together, a bunch of other stuff individually).

In fact, there's more than one! And that list, which goes to Wikipedia, is missing various international shows, like the Czech musical from 1995. I confess I couldn't tell you which are good; horror is just not my genre even when there's singing and dancing.

So musical reccers, what's your favorite musical adaptation of Dracula or and/or vampire lore? Doesn't have to be an actual stage show! As long as a vampire sings I'd say it counts.

Note: Obviously, if this is your first year on the Dracula Daily train you'll want to wait before checking out any of these so as to avoid spoilers. That's not to say that any of them are likely to be completely accurate to the book (though the Frank Wildhorn version really isn't the worst as adaptations go), but better safe than sorry, especially when the book has so many suspenseful twists if you don't know more than what you learned via cultural osmosis.
