Fall Leaf Cross Stitch Patterns

The only leaves that are falling where I live right now are the ones that turned brown and died in the heat, but I know that fall-fall is just around the corner so it’s time to get stitching with all the fall colors. Here are a few fall leaf cross stitch patterns for you to stitch up while you’re waiting for or enjoying fall wherever you live.

These watercolor fall leaves aren’t traditional fall colors, but they are a beautiful project that would be lovely in your home all year. I love the idea of stitching these on pillows or making a little set of wall hanging hoops as shown. This design is from Nikki Pattern on Etsy, and while the designs vary a bit in size they each use 16 colors.

For something a little simpler, try the Autumn Maple Leaves pattern from Daily Cross Stitch. It uses just six colors and measures 80 by 80 stitches.

This collection of little leaves from Etsy seller Cross Stitch Foxy is cute to stitch as a set as shown, or you can take individual leaves and make your own project. These would be cute stitched on a bookmark, or use them to make a border on another project. Or stitch them on an apron or napkins for a festive set you can use through Thanksgiving. In all the design uses seven colors and measures 106 by 106 stitches, or 7.5 inches square.

All of those uses also apply to the little leaves that make up the heart shaped design on this project from Cross with Me on Etsy. These sweet leaves and acorns are made with six colors, and the design is 96 by 94 stitches, or 6.86 by 6.71 inches on 14 count fabric.

Looking for more fall leaf cross stitch patterns? I’ve shared a lot over the years, but here are a few of my favorites: Fall Leaves, leaves and acorns and hello fall.

Sunflower Cross Stitch Patterns

I don’t know why it still surprises me that there are cross stitch patterns available for almost anything you can think of. I wasn’t looking for pool themed cross stitch patterns, but in scrolling around Etsy looking more generally for summer cross stitch patterns, I found a lot of pool patterns so I figured I should share them.

I love the colors in these designs, almost as cool as sliding into the pool on a hot day.

The first one I found was Pool Party by Milky Stitch. It features someone lounging in the pool, someone lounging next to the pool, and some fun accessories you might need for a day at the pool. It uses 20 colors and was designed for 11 count fabric, which means it comes out to 12.2 by 8.2 inches, or 31 by 21 cm.

Pastel Pool from Stitch Me Good Designs looks like it would fit right in with Pool Party on a gallery wall. This one uses seven colors and 14 count fabric and fits in a 7-inch hoop.

Speaking of gallery walls, if you want a room full of summer sun and pool themed cross stitch, check out this trifecta of pool designs from Craft Bundle Lab. There’s a women floating in a pool with a large hat, a float in a pool and several floats and pool toys in another pool with a fun checkerboard bottom. Each design uses 12 colors and they are about 14.6 inches/37 cm square worked on 14-count fabric.

This designs from Cross Stitchers United shows three people floating in a pool in different ways. This one has cross stitched water, or you can stitch it on blue fabric and save yourself some time. As shown it uses nine colors and is 94 by 94 stitches, which is 6.7 inches or 17 cm square on 14-count fabric.

The Swimmers in a Pool cross stitch pattern from Thread Nova Studios is delightful. It’s stitched with everyone wearing red suits, but you could change up some of them — or even just one of them — to change the look of the project. This one uses 14 colors and is 200 by 200 stitches. That’s about 14.3 inches/36.3 cm on 14 count fabric, though the pattern includes sizing for other stitch counts, too.

And finally the pool pattern from The Lady at Home just makes you wish you could jump right into it. The pool with floats looks super inviting, and it is stitched on 14-count fabric with a finished size of 5 by 7 inches/12.7 by 17.8 cm.
