Jingle All the Way Cross Stitch Ornament

Immerse yourself in the delightful world of cross stitching with this charming ornament pattern. Its whimsical design is sure to bring joy and excitement to your stitching journey. What sets this pattern apart is its unique color scheme, deviating from the traditional Christmas colors of reds and greens. Instead, it features a playful combination of oranges and blues, infusing a refreshing and contemporary twist into your holiday decor. Of course, the beauty of cross stitch lies in its versatility, so feel free to unleash your creativity and personalize the colors to suit your preferences. Whether you choose to embrace the original color scheme or explore a more traditional palette, this pattern promises hours of stitching enjoyment.

For an added touch of festive cheer, consider incorporating the words “jingle all the way” into your design. With their merry and lively connotation, these words perfectly capture the spirit of the holiday season. Embroider them below the ornament using gold thread for a sparkling effect that will elevate your finished piece. Alternatively, if you prefer a simpler approach, you can focus solely on stitching the ornament itself, allowing its intricate details and captivating design to take center stage.

Rated for intermediate stitchers, this pattern offers an exciting challenge that will keep you engaged throughout the stitching process. With seven colors used, you’ll have the opportunity to experiment with various shades and create depth in your artwork. To make it even more accessible, the pattern is available as a free chart from DMC, a trusted and reputable source for cross stitch enthusiasts.

Download the chart, gather your threads, and embark on a stitching adventure that promises to bring warmth and cheer to your holiday season. Whether you’re a seasoned stitcher or just beginning your cross stitching journey, this sweet ornament pattern will undoubtedly be a source of delight and a treasured addition to your festive decorations.

20 Snow Globe Cross-Stitch Patterns

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).
