Designer Spotlight: Wild Bluebell Patterns

January 23, 2025 by Sarah White

At the end of each month I made an editorial calendar for the next month, and by the time I get around to writing the posts I sometimes forget the particulars of a site or a pattern I wanted to share.

So it was when I opened the link for Wild Bluebell Patterns on Etsy and said (out loud, because I work alone) “ooh, I love these.”

It’s easy to see why I would say that when you take a peek at their detailed and colorful patterns, many of which have a witchy vibe. If I weren’t already in the depths of a big cross stitch project for my daughter, I would definitely be buying some of these patterns to stitch for her.

And since that’s what drew me in, let’s take a closer look at one of those dark and witchy patterns, in this case the Gothic moth. Worked in shades of purple and blue on dark fabric, it might be a little frustrating to stitch if you’re not under a bright light, but wouldn’t it be worth the work? 

The design is 111 by 109 stitches, which comes out to 7.9 by 7.8 inches, or 20.1 by 19.8 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric. It uses 13 colors.

If you like this vibe you’ll want to check out the full section of witchy cross stitch. And honestly that would be enough to keep me going for a while, but this shop also has holiday designs (mostly Halloween and autumn of course, but Christmas, too, including an adorable T. rex covered in Christmas lights). There are other animals, with an emphasis on cartoony frogs and floating whales. A few landscapes and some labeled humor, including this amazing ramen bowl based on the Great Wave of Kanagawa painting.

There may not be something for everyone in this shop, but if your tastes go to the gothic, moths and mushrooms with a side of role playing games and witches, you’re sure to find something you like. Check out Wild Bluebell Patterns on Etsy and let me know what you think!

Designer Spotlight: Natalka Studio

Natalka Studio is an Etsy shop based in Ukraine with a wide variety of cross stitch designs, including realistic, detailed designs with women doing various things, holiday patterns, geometrics and more.

One of the biggest categories in the shop is called girl cross stitch, which features detailed designs of women with flowing hair doing things like drinking coffee, dancing and carrying flowers. There are seasonal projects in this category as well as a couple having to do with hobbies.

I like the knitting one, of course, and almost shared the sewing one as the featured pattern above until I realized the thread is coming off a cone on the floor and there’s no pedal for running the machine.

The one I am sharing here isn’t actually in that category but it is really cute. Little Girl with Watermelon uses 21 colors and measures 73 by 73 stitches. That’s 5.21 inches or 13.3 cm square if you work it on 14 count fabric. I love her messy hair and the little dress and matching bows. You could also change the colors if you have a little girl who isn’t as into pink (or doesn’t have brown hair).

The largest category on the page is animals, and there you will find wild animals like monkeys, pandas and sloths; ocean creatures such as rays, an octopus and a blue tang fish; frogs, dogs and geese, among others. 

There are also a lot of Christmas cross stitch patterns, which include a lot of traditional motifs and some more whimsical themes. I like this one of Santa resting by the fire with his boots off.

In addition to all these you’ll find pretty flowers, a bunch of mostly floral bookmarks, a whole big set of patterns with lemons, and a lot more. The fruits and berries section (if you like fruits other than lemons) would be perfect for decorating your kitchen or breakfast area.

Check out all the great patterns they have to offer at Natalka Studio on Etsy.
