October Fractal from Cross Stitch Collectibles

October 10, 2011 by Connie Barwick 3 Comments

I wait each month to see what the fractal from Cross Stitch Collectible will be. I haven’t been brave enough to stitch one, but I have several friends who have stitched them and they are just lovely and neat to watch as WIPs (works-in-progress) as they post on Facebook or in forums I frequent.

Along with the fractal you can purchase, each month there is a free bookmark that is inspired by or taken from the fractal of the month. The one for this month reminds me of a snowflake swirl. What do you see?

Thanks for the link, Connie! I have recently learned about fractal cross stitch patterns and have downloaded a few but not started one yet!

I ordered the fractal 116 pattern and all the supplies to do it with. Close to $100. Don’t buy one of the fractal patterns. The time to stitch it was not a problem, but the stitched project does not at all look like the picture. The colors are not vibrant, there is no definition, and it turns out being a really muddy-colored fuzzy piece of work. I threw it all out. It took me over two weeks to stitch one of the 28 pages. It wasn’t the time involved…happy to give it two or three years of work if it had turned out like the picture that was presented. I will never order anything from this that site again. Misrepresentation…shame on them.

Christmas Nativity Scene Cross Stitch Patterns

If you want to stitch up a little something that’s religious for your Christmas decor, check out these nativity scene cross stitch patterns. Most of them are small enough you can still make them for this holiday if you want!

This tiny nativity scene from Create Make Do is very colorful, which makes it a lot of fun for a kids’ room or to place in a little hoop to hang on a Christmas tree. It measures 7 by 4 cm or 2.75 by 1.625 inches worked on 18 count fabric, which is perfect for a 4 inch/10 cm hoop. And most of it is not super traditional colors so you can use whatever floss you have on hand.

For a more traditional look that’s still on a small scale, try the small nativity pattern from Mistawis Stitches. This pretty design features Mary, Joseph and Jesus in the manger with a star above. It measures 50 by 50 stitches, or 3.5 inches square (almost 9 cm) on 14 count fabric.

A similar motif done in a different style is this one from Yvonne Sewing World. It’s just a little larger, at 53 by 53 stitches, which comes out to 3.8 inches or 9.6 cm on 14 count fabric.

The white on black design of this one from Digitizing Everythin is bold and a more modern look for your Christmas decor, but I really like it. You could also do different parts in different colors if you wanted to. The pattern includes measurements for different fabric types but on 14 count fabric it will measure 9 by 5.7 inches, or 22.86 by 14.5 cm.

Looking for a more detailed project? Crochetteagogo Shop has you covered with this pretty design. This one includes the holy family and an angel, along with some animals. It is 100 by 88 stitches, which comes out to a little more than 6 by 5.5 inches, or 16 by 14 cm using 32 count linen.
