Cross Stitch Patterns to Show You’re Thankful

October 18, 2024 by Sarah White

The whole meaning of Thanksgiving is to say and show that we are grateful for the positive things and people we have in our lives, so it makes sense that a lot of Thanksgiving cross stitch patterns would center on this theme. If you’re looking for some new Thanksgiving decor, check out these sweet patterns.

If you want a slightly religious sentiment, this one from New England ArtsnCraft is a good one. It says give thanks in large block letters and “for family, friends and the Lord’s blessing” in back stitch. You could also leave that off if you want or if you don’t like backstitch, though there are other backstitched details here, too. This is a pattern that is shipped but it’s a lovely option if you like this style. The stitch count is 157 by 89, which comes out to 11.2 by 6.4 inches, or 28.5 by a little more than 16 cm on 14 count fabric. It uses 12 colors.

Luba Davies Atelier has this design, “tis the season to be thankful.” This one looks pretty easy and only uses eight colors. The design is 114 by 99 stitches, or 8.1 by 7.1 inches (20.68 by 17.97 cm) on 14 count fabric.

Add some cute pilgrims and classic quilt stars to your decor with this “we give thanks” pattern from Calico Confectionery. I love this one as a little pillow as show, but you could also frame it. This one also has a mini design with the same star design that you could make as a little pin cushion or stitch onto napkins for the holiday table. The main pattern is 90 by 88 stitches and is meant to be worked on 16 count Aida.

And of course you can go with the classic “thankful, grateful, blessed” with this rustic cross stitch pattern from The SubRosa Design. This is so pretty stitched on linen and looks like an instant heirloom. The stitch count is 80 by 130, which on the linen came out to about 10 by 16.5 cm, or 4 by 6.5 inches.

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.

Are you a designer or do you have a favorite cross stitch designer who hasn’t made it into the spotlight yet? (You can see all the featured designers in the craft businesses category on the page.)
