Fireworks Cross Stitch Patterns

June 17, 2024 by Sarah White

I know fireworks are kind of controversial because they are loud and be difficult for some people to tolerate for lots of reasons, but you can’t deny they’re colorful and fun to cross stitch. Here’s a collection of fireworks and fire cracker cross stitch patterns to stitch up for the Fourth of July or any time you want to celebrate in a colorful, festive and quiet way.

This little red, white and blue firecracker from Daily Cross Stitch is easy to make and would be cute as a greeting card or in a little frame. It uses six colors and is 26 by 58 stitches, which comes out to 1.86 by 4.14 inches/4.72 by 10.5 cm on 14-count fabric.

Author Embroide Design on Etsy has a cute retro truck cross stitch pattern with patriotic balloons and firecrackers in the back of the star-spangled truck. Ir comes out to 70 by 49 stitches, which is 4.38 by 3.06 inches or 11.11 by 7.78 cm on 16 count fabric, and it calls for 12 colors.

And then there’s this patriotic gnome holding a red, white and blue firework that’s perfect for people who like to decorate with gnomes. The design is form Cross Stitch Foxy, and it uses six colors. At 66 by 86 stitches, it measures 4.7 by 6.1 inches or 12 by 15.5 cm on 14 count fabric.

Because I’m a cat person (and a black cat person at that), I love this cat watching fireworks design from Cotton Pixels. It comes out to 49 by 49 stitches and you can grab it from Everything Cross Stitch.

Stitch up some simple fireworks bursting in air with this pattern from Bella Rose Craft. It would be great on a dark-colored fabric, and then you could use white instead of gray or silver for the third color if you wanted. This one uses three colors and fits in a 4 inch hoop for display.

And because every mention of fireworks gets that song in my head, I can’t resist sharing the Baby You’re a Firework pattern from Basic Stitches DsgnCo. This easy pattern is 41 by 37 stitches, or 2.9 by 2.6 inches (7.4 by 6.6 cm).

Designer Spotlight: TesLime Cross Stitch

If your cross stitch tastes run to anime, fantasy, Disney, gnomes and the like, you’ll want to check out TesLime Cross Stitch on Etsy. This Dublin-based Etsy shop boasts more than 1,000 cross stitch patterns, with a strong pop culture bent.

The largest category in the shop is Disney, and there’s a separate Disney princess category, so there’s nearly 300 Disney themed cross stitch patterns in all. Some of these are chibis but a lot of them are pretty direct copies of Disney characters. Do with that what you will.

There’s also a large fantasy section that’s heavy on Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, dragons, aliens and trolls. In the hero section you’ll find Star Wars, Harley Quinn and the Joker, the Avatar, and Marvel characters. And in anime, there’s lots of Pokemon, Attack on Titan and Ghibli-inspired designs, to name a few.

The thing that caught my eye in this shop wasn’t any of that, though. It was sardines.

There are actually several different patterns in this shop of cans of sardines. I don’t really know why, but they’re just so weird and silly that’s what I had to share. In particular this one, where the little fish are wearing little shirts. Why? Again, I don’t know, but it’s kind of cute, right?

This design is 100 by 130 stitches and uses 21 colors. It comes out to 7.14 by 9.29 inches, or 18.14 by 23.59 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric (the pattern includes measurements for some other counts, too, if you want to make it smaller).

And all of that barely scratches the surface. There are more than 100 Christmas cross stitch patterns (these are heavy on Disney, too). A steampunk raven. A large collection of gnomes.

I think you’re just going to have to go check it out for yourself and see what strikes you. If you end up buying one of their patterns, I’d love to hear what you chose! Check them out at www.etsy.com/shop/TesLimeArt on Etsy.
