Check Out this Amazing Star Wars Cross Stitch Pattern

by

Making cross-stitch designs on the computer makes it possible to make designs that are a lot more detailed than in the days when charts were designed by hand.

An amazing example is this Star Wars cross stitch pattern featuring tons of characters, ships and other details.

It was designed by Creatively Stitching and uses about 100 colors in a design that comes out about 40 inches square on 16 count fabric.

This super-intricate design is $21.99, which is a lot for a pattern, but well worth it for a Star Wars superfan.

You can grab the pattern on etsy.

  1. I hope that before you decided to give free advertising to this Etsy seller you checked to see if they had obtained a license from Disney to sell this cross stitch chart.

    Given how closely Disney guards their property I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that this chart violates both copyright and trade mark laws. I don’t think this website is in the habit of promoting those crimes.

Designer Spotlight: Happy Cross Stitchers

If you love patterns for frogs and sardines, animals, food, flowers and more, Happy Cross Stitchers has got you covered. With more than 1,600 patterns as of this writing, you’re almost guaranteed to find something you like.

I don’t know if I’ve missed something that cross stitch patterns featuring sardines are showing up everywhere (this is the second designer I’ve seen with them in the past month or so) but Happy Cross Stitchers has 60 sardine cross stitch patterns. They also have 200 patterns with flowers, and even more than that in their biggest category, which is animals.

Many of the animal cross stitch patterns have a modern nursery feel to them, like this set of four modern boho animal patterns featuring what I’m interpreting as owls, a moose (or it coulr be a deer), a donkey and a cow. Each individual pattern is 100 by 100 stitches and they use six or seven colors. The designs will come out to 7.1 inches or 18.14 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric.

There’s also a large number of Christmas cross stitch patterns, with lots of trees, little houses, Santas and word art. There are lots of bunnies, eggs and chicks in the Easter section.

The modern designs include lots of colorful, graphic florals. There are also well over 100 butterflies, many of which at least look like they could be inspired by real butterflies (though none of them are labeled as to what kind of butterfly they are).

You’ll also find plenty of cute and often funny cat and dog cross stitch patterns, though there are a lot more cats than dogs represented. And then there’s the food section, with patterns for fruits, different kinds of toast, a jar of pickles, doughnuts and more.

And that’s not even all there is in this store! I guess all this is a long way of saying there’s a lot of fun patterns at www.etsy.com/shop/HappyCrossStitchers on Etsy and you should go browse because you’ll probably find something you like. And if you do, I’d like to hear about it!
