Charts, patterns and everything needlepoint

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: Curious Carrie Designs

If you like seasonal samplers and cross stitch patterns with a primitive twist, you’ll enjoy the collection from Curious Carrie Designs.

You’ll find alphabet designs, biscornu, patriotic projects and more. The summer category is the largest on the storefront, with Americana and floral designs. There are also categories for the other seasons and more general designs.

One of my favorites is this pretty sunflower cross stitch pattern, which is shown styled as a biscornu but it wouldn’t have to be. The pattern features sunflowers and bees and a little beehive. It uses 12 colors of floss and each side of the pattern is 51 by 51 stitches, which comes out to 3.64 inches or 9.2 cm square.

I love the fabric she used for the sample, which she actually dyed purple herself, but it would also be pretty on a purchased light blue or other color if you don’t want to dye your own.

There’s also a whole set of themed biscornu with a four letter word on one side (crow, home, love and snow, to name a few) along with a seasonal pattern on the other side.

The shop has a rather small selection at around 90 patterns as of this writing, but it’s a nice collection of traditional looking designs heavy on samplers and biscornu designs, so if those are things you like you’ll want to be sure to check it out. Visit Curious Carrie Designs on Etsy to see all her pretty designs.
