Christmas Village Cross Stitch

Embrace the beauty of winter with this captivating winter scene cross stitch pattern. While it may feature colors commonly associated with Christmas, its appeal extends beyond the holiday season, making it a delightful project for stitchers who don’t celebrate Christmas or simply appreciate the serene beauty of winter landscapes. The versatility of this pattern allows you to customize it to your liking, allowing for variations in the colors of the hills and trees to create a non-holiday feel if desired.

Created by DMC, a trusted name in the cross stitch world, this pattern offers a harmonious palette of six colors. These colors are thoughtfully selected to capture the essence of a serene winter scene, depicting the tranquility and magic of a snowy landscape. Each stitch brings the scene to life, transporting you to a world of quiet beauty and peaceful solitude.

With a finished size of 8.1 by 7.9 inches on 14-count fabric, this pattern offers a substantial canvas for you to immerse yourself in the stitching process. The larger size allows for intricate details, capturing the subtle nuances of the winter scene and showcasing your stitching skills. As you work through the pattern, you’ll experience a sense of accomplishment and pride as the design unfolds beneath your nimble fingers.

This pattern incorporates both cross stitching and backstitching techniques, adding depth and definition to the finished piece. The combination of these stitches creates a sense of realism and dimension, allowing the winter scene to truly come alive. Rated for intermediate-level stitchers, this pattern offers a rewarding challenge while still being accessible to those with some stitching experience.

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.
