Adorable Cross Stitch Patterns from Country Living Magazine

by

Mason jar cross stitch and other patterns from Country Living.I don’t read Country Living, but I followed a link on Pinterest for a really cute Mason jar cross-stitch chart and realized they have a whole page with more than a dozen free cross-stitch patterns.

As you might imagine, they have a bit of a country theme, but there’s a lot of cute stuff there. Along with the Mason jar there’s a slice of watermelon, an apple, a turkey, a Christmas tree in the back of a pickup, a glass of lemonade and a stitched United States.

Most of them are pretty easy, and the patterns are downloadable PDFs. So check them out and get stitching!

  1. I have not been able to access the older patterns on CL website. I can not scroll down on the page. It is very frustrating.

  3. I found that website too and their patterns are so cute! Do you happen to know what size hoop those patterns use? The patterns don’t give you the sizes other than noting they used 16 ct aida.

Samplers to Cross Stitch for the Fourth of July

I already shared some cross stitch patterns specific to America 250, but if you want to cross stitch something more general for the Fourth of July, these patriotic sampler style patterns are a great place to start. 

Stitch up some classic July 4th symbols, from the Statue of Liberty to hot dogs, with this sampler from Voluur. At 197 by 197 stitches, it comes out to 12.31 inches or 31.27 cm on 16 count fabric. It uses 38 colors and one blend, and has full and half cross stitches as well as back stitching. 

This sampler from Wombat Stitching is a little more traditional, but it does still have fireworks, something that looks like an ice cream, birds in hats and a stack of sheep for some reason. This one uses nine colors and is 193 by 103 stitches. That makes it 13.8 inches or 35 cm on 14 count fabric. 

This smaller sampler from Wonder Stitch US has a rocket, fireworks, flag, star and other elements. It is 86 by 86 stitches and uses 11 colors. On 16 count fabric it comes out to 5.5 inches, or 14 cm square. (I also love their Liberty design, with a house, woman holding a flag, a big flowers stitched like classic star motifs from quilting. There’s also a cat.)

Or try this one from Aliton Embroidery, which features a women in stars, stripes and a festive hat, an eagle, stars, fireworks and a flag, with a fun red, white and blue border. At 98 by 67 stitches, I think it uses five colors or thereabouts. It measures 7 by 4.8 inches, or 17.78 by 12.16 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric.

Get a totally classic sampler look with this patriotic design that’s not specific to the Fourth of July. Made by Happiness is Heart Made, it features a house, flowers, hearts, classic starts, an alphabet, bunting and more. It uses four colors and measures 129 by 213 stitches. On 14 count fabric it measures 9.21 by 15.21 inches, or 23.4 by 38.6 cm.
