Good News Everyone – Futurama Pattern from Pixel People

by

You may have noticed that I have something of an obsession with geeky stitchery – you would be correct.

So when a tipster sent the link to this Futurama-inspired Cross Stitch my geek-o-meter went off big time. Is this not so cute! The cast never looked so good. Of course, Bender is my favorite and if you don’t agree you can bite my shiny metal, oh, nevermind – I don’t mind if you choose another character as your favorite. There is room in the universe for all sorts of opinions.

Have you discovered some stitchy coolness? It doesn’t have to be geeky. I also like puppies, cats, cottages, sassy language and just about any form of Cross Stitch or counted-thread embroidery. So, send in links, including your own blogs, projects, or websites you’d like to see featured here too.

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).
