A Pretty Tree to Stitch for Fall

Fall is here by the calendar if not by the weather in the Northern Hemisphere. I looked at one of those peak fall leaf calendars online and it says the leaves aren’t going to be at their peak where I live until November.

Which just means I have plenty of time to dream about the changing leaves and stitch up my own. This fall tree pattern from Terra Luna Stitchery available at Cyberstitchers is a great one because it shows the tree as the colors are changing.

There are more than 30 colors used in this little design (only 45 by 46 stitches) so it’s not for beginners unless you are really patient or want to edit out some of the colors. Either way it’s a lovely look for celebrating the changing seasons.

If you’re a fan of detailed and colorful cross stitch patterns, Design for Cross Stitch might have a pattern you want to try. This Etsy shop is based in Spain and has more than 50 designs with a focus on animals, holidays and landscapes.

I’m just going to start with the first pattern that caught my eye when I visited the site, which is this Sakura by the Lake project. This pattern is 200 by 200 stitches and the whole background is stitched, so it’s definitely not for a beginner, but it’s stunning and would be amazing to make for someone who loves Japan. Despite the detail it only uses 24 colors. Worked on 14 count fabric it will measure 14.64 inches, or 37.19 cm.

There are a few other landscape designs, including a canal in Venice and a few cabins in the woods.

The shop also has some cute animal cross stitch, with big, round faces and often holding a warm beverage. Holiday projects focus on Christmas and Halloween. Most of the patterns have a cute, chibi-like feel, but there are some that are more detailed and realistic as well. Take for examples the flower patterns, which are full of details and soft colors.

You’ll also find some fun bookmark cross stitch patterns with a watercolor feel, as well as some that look kind of like paint pouring turned into stitches.

If this sort of stuff sounds like fun to you, check out their Etsy store at Design for Cross Stitch.
