10 Poinsettia Christmas Flower Cross Stitch Patterns

It turns out that I really struggle with the spelling of the word Poinsettia. I would have thought after writing this roundup of Cross stitch patterns and charts I would have mastered it, but no, I still keep getting it right. Now I am questioning if I am even saying the word right. We don’t really have Poinsettia flowers here or maybe we do and I just didn’t know, but like the flowers, these patterns were equally hard to find, hence why this list is only a roundup of 10. If you know of some more cross-stitch patterns we should feature let us know by commenting below.

Poinsettias are native to Mexico and did you know they are not always red? A native of southern Mexico, the poinsettia blooms in December and has been used in that country to decorate churches for centuries a Christmas Holiday trend this is becoming popular around the world.

Cross Stitch Foxy has a huge selection of cross stitch patterns perfect for gifts or using in your own home decor. As of this writing there are more than 900 patterns listed, so there’s no way I can cover them all, but let’s take a quick peek at some of the options.

As with many cross stitch designers, Cross Stitch Foxy has a lot of holiday themed patterns, including Christmas, Halloween and Easter and St. Patrick’s Day. There are patriotic American patterns, feminist patterns and so much more.

Since we’re heading into the Christmas season as I write this, I thought I’d highlight one of the more than 100 Christmas listings in the shop. These Christmas mugs would be cute to have hanging in your kitchen or anywhere else all winter long.

The full pattern is 86 by 101 stitches, which comes out to 6.1 by 7.2 inches, or 5.5 by 18 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric. It calls for 19 colors. Of course you could also stitch a single mug if you’d rather, or put them into individual frames.

One thing that is fun about Cross Stitch Foxy’s projects is that the intention is that to some extent you can use what you have to make the projects. None of the projects include single stitches of a color, and colors can be replaced with the colors you have or use blends made up of colors you already have, making the projects more cost effective and environmentally friendly. Of course for holiday patterns you’ll want some holiday colors, but there’s wiggle room to use the threads you already own, which is nice.

In addition to the categories I already mentioned, there are many other patterns, including a wide selection of seasonal gnomes, patterns with cats and dogs, food and drink patterns and a nice collection of flowers and plants, just to name a few. There’s probably something for everyone in this store, so go check it out at Cross Stitch Foxy on Etsy.
