Christmas Word Art Cross Stitch Patterns

Words add a great graphic element to any cross stitch design, but it can also be fun when the words take center stage in a project, as they do in these word art Christmas cross stitch patterns.

I love these little designs that combine words and smaller images from Durene J Cross Stitch on Etsy. They’re so fun and cheerful and include Santa, a reindeer, a snowman and little birds, as well as holiday gifts and holly. You could stitch up each one individually as shown (each one is 45 by 45 stitches) or you could put all of them together into a cute little holiday sampler.

The Merry Christmas script Christmas tree pattern from Etsy seller Cross Stitch Foxy looks like it would be a lot of fun to stitch and be dramatic on display in your home. It is 138 by 141 stitches, or 9.8 by 10 inches on 14 count fabric, and uses four colors. It’s shown on a white background but I think this one would be stunning on dark blue or black fabric as well. You could even use a metallic thread for the parts that are stitched in gold.

Owl Stitching House on Etsy has a cute Merry Christmas design that adds sampler elements to the mix, with the letters being stitched in a few different ways (I love that the I in Christmas is a candle!) and a scene with Santa, a reindeer and a snowman in the middle. (If this one looks familiar to you that’s because I also shared one of their samplers in my roundup of Christmas samplers the other day.)

Then there’s this fun Christmas cross stitch from Etsy seller Nia Cross Stitch, which uses a snowman as the I and includes a little bird, candle, angel, stocking, mittens and more surrounding the letters. The stitching area is 158 by 49 stitches, and the sample is shown on ice blue fabric, which adds a subtle bit of color that elevates the project.

Stitch with Coffee is an Etsy shop that is almost completely devoted to holiday designs, with the exception of a series of designs that feature the exploits of a tuxedo cat named Tuxey. It’s also almost completely devoted to cat designs, as we’ll see.

Because I happen to own a tuxedo cat (her name is Haru) we definitely have to spend some time talking about those patterns Haru means spring, so it seems appropriate to share this one of the cat in a field of daisies. The pattern measures 91 by 52 stitches and is all full cross stitches with a little bit of backstitching. It doesn’t say how many colors are used but I think it’s six or seven.

I love the look of it on this sage colored 28 count linen but you can use whatever you like.

The largest category in the shop is for Halloween, and here, too, you’ll find a lot of cats (I also have a black cat so you know I love that, too). There are cats doing potions, a skeleton cat, Frankencat, Dracula cat, cats in pumpkins, a cat witch flying a broom and more. There are also some ghosts and other patterns that don’t involve cats, but I can’t stress enough that there are a lot of cats in this shop (maybe it should have been called Stitch with Cats instead of Stitch with Coffee!).

In the Christmas section there are still more cats: in sweaters, with antlers decorated with holiday lights, in stockings and a cat snowman. There are not Christmas patterns that don’t feature cats.

There are a couple of Valentine’s Day patterns that don’t feature cats, but they still predominate here. You get the idea.

If you like cats every day of the year you’re sure to enjoy this shop. And if you like cats every month of the year, make sure you check out their calendar series, which features cats doing seasonal things like watching a snow globe, being a leprechaun and waving a flag surrounded by fireworks.

Check out all their designs at Stitch with Coffee, and let me know if you see something that catches your eye!
