Cross Stitch Sonic Screwdriver

by

Here’s another great Dr. Who-themed project from Hancock’s House of Happy. I will let Hancock describe it.

“Check it out! A totally retro Dr. Who sonic screwdriver in cross stitch. From waaay back when time lords were time lords and all they needed was something to screw and unscrew things sonically. Is sonically a word? It is now!

It is a free chart to download. Some subtle shading but no fractional stitches so it’s a good one for beginners. Lots of backstitching practice.

I would put it on a card or a little sampler with something like “Time Lords do it sonically” because sonically is now a word and we should all use it as much as possible.”

Thanks for sharing it! If you blog about cross-stitch, design cross-stitch charts, post free charts, or write about cross stitch in any way, be sure to let us know about it. Send in your links!

  1. As a fellow Who fan and stitcher I’d like doing this for our son who’s also a Who fan. How do I download the chart? Thanks.

Bookmark Cross Stitch Patterns

It seems like there’s no end to the available options when it comes to cross stitch bookmarks, which is a good thing because they’re perennially popular to stitch as well. This time I thought I’d share some colorful cross stitch bookmarks to get you ready for the new school year or to make meeting your reading goals a little more fun. 

I love these retro floral designs from The Stitch Patterns. This set of four patterns is rated as very easy, and each bookmark measures 2.5 by 6 inches (or 6.35 by 15.25 cm) on 14 count fabric. 

These cute ones that look like mosaic tile would also be fun to stitch. This set includes five designs from EmbroSTyle Designs, and they call them folk art but they mostly look like old mosaics to me. Either way, the bookmarks are 25 by 101 stitches, and to stitch the full set uses 12 colors. 

If you’re looking for more of a challenge, you can stitch up a work of art with this set of 16 bookmarks designed to look like famous paintings. Stitch some sunflowers or a great wave or a starry night. Most of these are between 14 and 20 colors (the great wave is only 8) and the bookmarks are totally covered with stitching at a count of 35 by 100 stitches. Grab this set from Sunset and Sea Design.

Or how about some bookmarks inspired by books (or by movies inspired by books)? This set of Lord of the Rings bookmarks includes four landmarks from the books/movies. Each one is 35 by 115 stitches and uses between 8 and 17 colors. You can find them at byCountryMagicStitch.

These don’t quite all fit the description of being colorful bookmarks to cross stitch, but a few of them do, and speaking of book-themed bookmarks I had to share this set from Mama Geek inspired by Heartstopper. There are seven designs in all that should be quite familiar to readers (or viewers of the series).
