Free Ornament Cross Stitch Pattern

by

I simply can’t wait to get out my ornaments and decorate my tree – I might put it up the first of November this year.

Lest that seem excessive, let me point out that for various reasons, I haven’t had a tree to decorate for several years and I am in serious withdrawals.

I usually wait until the day after Thanksgiving – maybe I can hold off until my traditional time if I stitch up this cute free chart!

  1. I like this website, but since she switched to that download service, I can’t get the patterns. When click it takes me to another part of the page. No matter where I click, it just moves me around the same page.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

Designer Spotlight: Curious Carrie Designs

If you like seasonal samplers and cross stitch patterns with a primitive twist, you’ll enjoy the collection from Curious Carrie Designs.

You’ll find alphabet designs, biscornu, patriotic projects and more. The summer category is the largest on the storefront, with Americana and floral designs. There are also categories for the other seasons and more general designs.

One of my favorites is this pretty sunflower cross stitch pattern, which is shown styled as a biscornu but it wouldn’t have to be. The pattern features sunflowers and bees and a little beehive. It uses 12 colors of floss and each side of the pattern is 51 by 51 stitches, which comes out to 3.64 inches or 9.2 cm square.

I love the fabric she used for the sample, which she actually dyed purple herself, but it would also be pretty on a purchased light blue or other color if you don’t want to dye your own.

There’s also a whole set of themed biscornu with a four letter word on one side (crow, home, love and snow, to name a few) along with a seasonal pattern on the other side.

The shop has a rather small selection at around 90 patterns as of this writing, but it’s a nice collection of traditional looking designs heavy on samplers and biscornu designs, so if those are things you like you’ll want to be sure to check it out. Visit Curious Carrie Designs on Etsy to see all her pretty designs.
