Autumn Towne Cross Stitch Pattern

My daughter and I both love fall. She loves it in part because of her birthday, but we both love changing leaves and falling temperatures.

If you’re a fan of all things fall (and big cross stitch projects) check out the Autumn Town cross stitch pattern from Autumn Lane Stitchery.

The Autumn Town pattern is not for the faint of heart, measuring 140 by 196 stitches, or 10 by 14 inches when crafted on 28 count fabric. Yet, it’s precisely the challenge that excites you both—the opportunity to embark on a cross-stitch adventure that will demand patience, dedication, and creativity. As you begin the project, you find solace in the rhythmic motion of the needle and thread, each stitch weaving a tale of appreciation for the season you both adore.

The pattern may boast a plethora of colors, a true testament to the diversity of fall’s palette, but the designers have thoughtfully included variegated threads, adding subtle gradients and depth to your masterpiece. These thoughtful touches not only enhance the final result but also make the journey a little easier, allowing you to focus on the joy of stitching.

With each completed stitch, you find yourselves transported to the idyllic streets of Autumn Town—the imagined destination where you both wander under the golden canopy of leaves, savoring the crispness in the air and cherishing the precious moments shared together. As the houses and trees take shape on your fabric canvas, the colors harmonize like the perfect symphony of autumn, creating a sight that warms your hearts.

You can get the pattern from Autumn Lane Stitchery on Etsy.

I recently wrote a post on my blog about using a stitchable journal cover and I mentioned that you can make your own stitched cover for a journal by using perforated paper instead of buying a stitchable notebook.

I have to admit, though, that I’ve never used perforated paper for cross stitch myself. I definitely want to because I think it would be great to use for bookmarks that don’t fray and have a little more stability, for example.

Sirious Stitches has us covered, though, because they did a deep dive into all things perforated cross stitch pattern that is worth the time to read through.

The post mentions that a lot of people use perforated paper for cross stitch because they buy an ornament kit that uses it. I’ve never seen these (or at least never noticed that that is what they were) but it’s a great idea to make small projects like ornaments in this way. It also talks about the pros and cons of using cross stitch paper, where to buy it and how to make your own.

Making it yourself is an awesome idea because if you already have a pattern in mind you can just make holes in your paper where you need stitches to be and leave the rest solid. This would be ideal for making greeting cards, for example.

In addition to kits and sheets you can often find the paper pre-cut into different shapes you can use to make your own designs, no real pattern required.

The post also includes tips and advice for how to stitch on perforated paper that you’ll want to check out before you try your first project.

I’m super intrigued by the idea of using perforated paper for cross stitch and will probably be trying it out soon. Have you used it before? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
