Fall Leaves Cross Stitch Pattern

by

Even though it’s decidedly still summery where I live, just a few leaves are starting to turn and fall already. Which must mean it’s time to start on fall leaf (and fall colored) projects.

This fall leaves cross stitch pattern from Ugly Duckling House is really cute and the mix of colors used on each leaf is really the way leaves look up close in the fall.

The design is about 7.1 by 6.4 inches on 14 count cloth and uses 13 colors. You could also separate out the individual leaves into different projects if you wanted to.

Super Cute Ghost Cross Stitch Patterns

I’m always looking for different approaches to holidays in different crafts, and this year I’m noticing a lot of cute ghosts. Check out these adorable ghost cross stitch patterns for tons of cute without the creepy. 

Cute Patterns by Maria has a set of six adorable ghosts doing ghosty things like reading a book, talking to a crow, decorating with pumpkins and mushrooms and more. Stitch a single one, all six on one canvas, or each on individually to make your own adorable set of ghosts to scatter around the house. Each ghost is 67 by 86 stitches; the full set is 205 by 174 and uses 28 colors. 

Another cute set is this little three pattern set of ghosts with pumpkins and mushrooms. Designed by Wild Bluebell Patterns, the dimensions vary on them but they are super cute all stitched and hung together in hoops as shown. 

This set of hipster ghosts is meant to be stitched up as ornaments for you Halloween tree or to display individually, or you can make one big piece. These designs are from Artmishka Cross Stitch and show ghosts getting coffee, reading a book, riding a broom and more. The whole set uses 11 colors. 

If you have a dog friend in your life you’ll want to stitch up this sweet puppy ghost pattern from Holly Deer Stitch. The puppy is carrying a cute jack ‘o lantern with a candle and the project measures 7.14 by 6.79 inches (18.14 by 17.24 cm) on 14 count fabric. It uses 14 colors.
