Islamic Cross Stitch Patterns for Ramadan

Ramadan, the Muslim holy month, begins June 5, so I wanted to look around for some Islamic cross stitch patterns to share. Many of these sites are not in English, but the designs are beautiful and worth sharing.

Islamic Cross Stitch is a blog that is in English and has many beautiful free patterns including floral designs and calligraphy. Her Facebook page is beautiful, too, with lots of great images for inspiration.

Ekaterina Gogoleva is another designer with many gorgeous script designs. Her site is not in English but this one is labeled Ramadan Mubarak. Here’s another of hers for Ramadan; I also really love this tulip design.

And while I can’t read this site at all, it does have a nice mosque design and some other Islamic cross stitch patterns.

There are no charts there but Didi’s Cross Stitch site has some lovely inspirational designs.

Do you know of any sites for Islamic cross stitch? I’d love to hear about them! We found these patterns on Etsy which you may want to check out too.

It seems like there’s no end to the available options when it comes to cross stitch bookmarks, which is a good thing because they’re perennially popular to stitch as well. This time I thought I’d share some colorful cross stitch bookmarks to get you ready for the new school year or to make meeting your reading goals a little more fun.

I love these retro floral designs from The Stitch Patterns. This set of four patterns is rated as very easy, and each bookmark measures 2.5 by 6 inches (or 6.35 by 15.25 cm) on 14 count fabric.

These cute ones that look like mosaic tile would also be fun to stitch. This set includes five designs from EmbroSTyle Designs, and they call them folk art but they mostly look like old mosaics to me. Either way, the bookmarks are 25 by 101 stitches, and to stitch the full set uses 12 colors.

If you’re looking for more of a challenge, you can stitch up a work of art with this set of 16 bookmarks designed to look like famous paintings. Stitch some sunflowers or a great wave or a starry night. Most of these are between 14 and 20 colors (the great wave is only 8) and the bookmarks are totally covered with stitching at a count of 35 by 100 stitches. Grab this set from Sunset and Sea Design.

Or how about some bookmarks inspired by books (or by movies inspired by books)? This set of Lord of the Rings bookmarks includes four landmarks from the books/movies. Each one is 35 by 115 stitches and uses between 8 and 17 colors. You can find them at byCountryMagicStitch.

These don’t quite all fit the description of being colorful bookmarks to cross stitch, but a few of them do, and speaking of book-themed bookmarks I had to share this set from Mama Geek inspired by Heartstopper. There are seven designs in all that should be quite familiar to readers (or viewers of the series).
