Black History and Juneteeth Cross Stitch Patterns

June 10, 2023 by Sarah White

Juneteenth is the celebration of the news that enslaved people had been freed finally reached the state of Texas on June 19, 1865. The day is the newest national holiday in the United States, and is celebrated as a second Independence Day.

I was looking around for Juneteenth cross stitch patterns, and I actually didn’t find that much specific to Juneteenth, so if you know of any sources please let me know!

I did find this Sweet Land of Liberty cross stitch design from Siren Stitchworks on Etsy. The design, which is based on motifs from 19th century and includes the date June 19, 1865, is 79 by 119 stitches. This would be lovely on an off-white or tea-dyed fabric to add a little more rustic flair.

Snail Fishes Stitches is an Etsy seller but they have also shared a few free patterns on Pinterest, including two versions of a pattern inspired by the Juneteenth flag. The flag features a star inside a starburst with an arching horizon line in blue and red behind it. The full flag version is 21 by 13 stitches or a little less than 1 by 1.5 inches on 14 count fabric. It uses five colors. The other version is circular, and 43 by 43 stitches or a little more than 3 inches around and uses four colors. (For both of these, click on the link, then click view picture and it will take you to a larger chart that includes the color details and more pattern information.)

Mamida Pattern on Etsy has a great collection of Black history and Africa inspired patterns, and their Juneteenth design is a lot of fun, with a raised fist and the colors of the Ethiopian flag (which is often used in Pan African symbology because Ethiopia was never colonized by a foreign power) in the lenses of sunglasses.  It measures 111 by 42 stitches and uses four colors. on 14 count fabric it will come out to about 7.9 by 3 inches.

Designer Spotlight: Crystal Feather Crafts

If you like landscapes, animals and floral cross stitch patterns with a big does of cuteness, odds are good you’ll find something you want to stitch at Crystal Feather Crafts. This Etsy shop has more than 200 patterns with a focus on nature and often a cute touch.

For example in the animals section you’ll find adorable little dinosaurs, lots of sweet cats and a corgi butt. I love the maneki neko cat shown here, which really pops on dark blue fabric but would be pretty on whatever color you have handy.

This design is 74 by 102 stitches, which comes out to 5.3 by 7.3 inches on 14 count fabric (or 13.4 by 18.5 cm).

In addition to adorable animals you’ll find some pretty standard landscapes (heavy on the mountains), dainty floral designs and some bees, butterflies, moths and other insects that are more realistic than the other animals.

There are also some sweet holiday patterns for Christmas and Halloween (love all those cute little ghosts!), and a few more general autumn ones as well (featuring mushrooms, pumpkins and the like). A handful of other patterns are listed as being for the home, funny (a few cartoony sushis here among other things), alphabets and more.

If you like their designs as of this writing you can get 30 percent off your purchase when you buy three patterns at the same time. Check them out at Crystal Feather Crafts.

And if you are a cross stitch designer or you know a cross stitch designer you would like to see featured here at Craft Gossip, let me know in the comments. Or you can drop me a link and some more information about what makes you/them special by filling out the form you get when you click “suggest a craft” at the middle top of the page. Thanks for your help!
