Designer Spotlight: Oh My Stitches Shop

There’s so much cute stuff at Oh My Stitches Shop I don’t even know where to start.

The first thing I saw when scrolling through Etsy that brought me to the shop was this set of month by month black cat cross stitch patterns, which would be great for cat lovers of all stripes to stitch, even if you don’t happen to have a black cat (which I do).

But when I opened their storefont the thing at the top was the amazing set of dragon cross stitch patterns, and I knew those were the ones I really needed to share, though there was plenty more I was tempted by as I scrolled through.

So first, the dragons. This set of four patterns shows dragon silhouettes with landscapes and flowers in the background. Each one is 130 by 130 stitches, which comes out to 9.05 inches or 23.59 cm on 14 count fabric. The number of colors varies from 15 to 19 depending on the design. There’s a similar set done with dinosaurs if that is more your style.

But there’s so much more fun stuff here. How about ghosts in scenes that look like Gothic brooches? Cats being abducted by aliens? Seasonal gnomes? (There’s another set of month designs with gnomes.) The shapes of US states filled in with their state flower? (Note as of this writing there are 47 listed but they aren’t in alphabetical order so I’m not sure which states are missing.)

There are cute Christmas patterns, mostly with animals, and of course a bunch of great Halloween designs. Just to name a few. There are skills and floral monograms (again not the full alphabet as I write this), landscapes and funny quotes. I think it’s likely you’ll find something you want to stitch on this site with its more than 600 options.

So don’t let me keep you! Go check out all the goodies at Oh My Stitches shop, and come back here and let me know what you’re making.

Year of the Dragon Cross Stitch Patterns

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.
