A Rainbow Cross Stitch Leaf Pattern for Fall

by

I guess we don’t consider it to be “fall” until after Labor Day, but it feels like fall to me as soon as September hits (or after my birthday, Aug. 29, which is close enough).

It makes me want to do all the fall decorating and crafting.

But it might feel a little early for all the fall colors, so this rainbow colored leaf cross stitch pattern from DeLorai Patterns on Etsy is a nice compromise. It reminds us that fall is coming but maybe not quite here yet.

It’s 135 by 129 stitches, or 9.6 by 9.2 inches on 14 count fabric. Scrolling through the pictures it looks like there might be three different leaves offered, but I think those measurements are for the oak leaf pictured here.

You can grab the pattern on Etsy for $3.71.

Pencil Cross Stitch Patterns

Last year I shared my cute pencil cross stitch bookmark pattern, so I thought this year maybe I would look for more pencil cross stitch patterns to celebrate back to school or the writer in your life. 

If you’re looking for a fancier version of a pencil bookmark, check out this pretty one from Embrovera. It has pretty flowers and hearts around the pencil with a stitched border. It measures 27 by 86 stitches and comes out to 1.9 by 6.1 inches, or 4.9 by 15.6 cm, stitched on 14 count fabric. 

Speaking of flowers, there’s also this floral pencil cross stitch design from Oh My Stitches Shop. The pencil is black on this one but you could make it any color you like. It measures 37 by 102 stitches and uses 17 colors. On 14 count fabric it is 2.36 by 7.08 inches, or 6.71 by 18.5 cm. 

If you want to stitch a pencil that’s a cute teacher gift for back to school, try this one from Daily Cross Stitch, which features a pencil stretched into a heart shape and a heart shaped eraser. It calls for 11 colors and is 65 by 52. On 14 count fabric that comes to 4.64 by 3.71 inches, or 11.78 by 9.42 cm. 

There’s also this cute chubby pencil with the word learn from Stitch Gallery PDF that would be cute for a teacher (or a homeschool classroom). It looks like it uses five colors and the designer suggests using a piece of fabric that’s around 7 inches/17.6 cm square for this project. 

How about a teeny tiny pencil cross stitch pattern? This one from Bella Rose Craft also includes a wee apple design, and these mini patterns would be cute as a necklace or keychain charm. And at 7 by 13 stitches you can finish this one up in no time. 

Stitch the pencil alone or with this cute collection of school supplies that includes a glue bottle, crayons and calculator. The pattern is from sosacaetano, and it would be so cute for a classroom or stitched on a card. The full design as show is 6 by 1.75 inches (15.24 by 4.44 cm) on 14 count fabric.
