Mitosis Cross Stitch Pattern

I LOVE the process of mitosis.  It's one of the first things that drew me to Biology in High School.  I have embroidered it before, but now I have created my own cross stitch pattern.

On it, you can see one cell going through Mitosis and then Cytokinesis to form two daughter cells.  I wanted it to be small, so it is very simplified.  (Like, no homologous chromosomes!  So these cells belong to some haploid organism with only two chromosomes.)  But it's still pretty.

Here is the link.  Have at it, ye scientists!

Next, I will try to figure out something to do with genetics, because genetics rocks!

Anatomical Heart Free Cross Stitch Pattern

 I first designed this pattern over a year ago and got about 50% done with the project before abandoning it (I have learned that I lose interest quick if there are huge swatches of color.).  I have tweaked it a little and put it into a fancy PDF for you. 

Anatomical hearts are cool, right?  As a biologist, I feel that I must present at least one organ pattern.  Though I must admit, my knowledge of anatomy and physiology is pretty basic because I am a Cell Biologist.  So expect some awesome cell patterns!


 Want a PDF of the pattern?  Here it is!  Just, you know, link back and whatnot. :)
