Another RBG Cross Stitch Pattern

I love this Ruth Bader Ginsburg cross stitch pattern because it shows everything she was known for — the collar and the earrings.

This one is pretty simple because it’s just three colors, but it makes a big impact and would be a great gift for your favorite feminist friend.

The design, from Joy Gifts Store on Etsy, is available for $8 and is 62 by 86 stitches. It comes out to 4.43 by 6.14 inches.

Check out this Ruth Bader biographical coloring book introduces kids to the crusading Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Thirty carefully researched and beautifully illustrated pages highlight the important milestones in Ginsburg’s remarkable life, from her time as a law professor and her years on the U.S. Court of Appeals to her career as the 107th Supreme Court Justice.

Celebrate International Women's Day with Cross Stitch

Traditional cross stitch designs and samplers with a primitive twist are the specialty of The Sub Rosa Design, an Etsy shop based in Hungary.

The largest section in the store is the Halloween/Thanksgiving section, which includes plenty of witches, crows and pumpkins. One that caught my eye is called Pumpkin Angel, a primitive design that looks like a woman with a pumpkin head with wings standing by a gate with pots of sunflowers.

The design is 199 by 67 stitches, which comes out to about 6.8 by 4 inches/17.5 by 10 cm stitched on 32 count linen as shown.

There are also a lot of Christmas patterns, heavy on Santa and snowmen and reindeer. The Easter and spring section includes projects with birds, lambs and rabbits with an old-fashioned feel.

There’s also a large number of sampler cross stitch patterns, taken from historical designs with their original stitchers names and dates on them. I like Lily Hall’s floral design that was originally stitched in 1884. It’s so fun to look at these (or stitch them!) and think about the women (or more accurately probably children learning to stitch) who made the originals and what their lives were like all those years ago. And how cool it is that we’re still doing the exact same thing all these years later!

In addition to holiday and sampler themed projects, there are also patriotic (Americana) designs, a few projects with bees, and a couple of patterns called Sweet Rosie, which seems to be a character stitched in the projects.

You can check out all of their designs at The Sub Rosa Design. If you check them out I’d love to know what patterns you try and how it goes for you!
