Easter Chick Cross-Stitch Card

Here’s another cute idea for a cross-stitched Easter card. The Easter Chick free cross stitch pattern from Sew and So (designed by Joanne Sanderson) features a chick breaking out of its egg.

It’s really cute and you can make the egg and flowers whatever colors you want.

It measures 29 by 32 stitches, which comes up 2 by 2.25 inches on 14-count fabric, and uses 11 colors, but you could always make the flowers all the same colors (or use fewer colors) if you don’t want to use that many.

I love the way this one looks as a card but I’m sure there are lots of other great uses for it, too.

Easter Chick Cross Stitch Patterns

If you’re a fan of detailed and colorful cross stitch patterns, Design for Cross Stitch might have a pattern you want to try. This Etsy shop is based in Spain and has more than 50 designs with a focus on animals, holidays and landscapes.

I’m just going to start with the first pattern that caught my eye when I visited the site, which is this Sakura by the Lake project. This pattern is 200 by 200 stitches and the whole background is stitched, so it’s definitely not for a beginner, but it’s stunning and would be amazing to make for someone who loves Japan. Despite the detail it only uses 24 colors. Worked on 14 count fabric it will measure 14.64 inches, or 37.19 cm.

There are a few other landscape designs, including a canal in Venice and a few cabins in the woods.

The shop also has some cute animal cross stitch, with big, round faces and often holding a warm beverage. Holiday projects focus on Christmas and Halloween. Most of the patterns have a cute, chibi-like feel, but there are some that are more detailed and realistic as well. Take for examples the flower patterns, which are full of details and soft colors.

You’ll also find some fun bookmark cross stitch patterns with a watercolor feel, as well as some that look kind of like paint pouring turned into stitches.

If this sort of stuff sounds like fun to you, check out their Etsy store at Design for Cross Stitch.
