Halloween Cross Stitch Cuteness from Alma Lynne

September 14, 2011 by Connie Barwick

Over the years, I have seen designers come and go. Some retire, some move on to other things, and some, sadly, pass from this life leaving their designs behind for us to remember them by.

One designer that I’d sort of lost track of was Alma Lynne. Someone asked me about her designs recently and I just assumed that she’d retired and I needed to check for her designs on eBay.

But, no! When I received a recent Herrschners catalog, there was an entire feature on Alma Lynne’s designs – both stamped and counted cross stitch. I particularly LOVE the Happy Halloween Motif collection shown here.

If you are a younger stitcher, you may not remember Alma Lynne’s classic designs from back in the day, but you should definitely check them out – and if you are like me, you will be so glad to see that she’s still offering her classic designs. To find more of her designs, just search for Alma Lynne on your favorite online site or ask for her by name at your local needlecraft shop!

Looking for more fun Halloween Cross-stitch patterns and charts? Check out these Halloween themed Cross stitch designs on Etsy.

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).
