Queen Elizabeth Cross Stitch to Celebrate Her Jubilee

by

The first week in June marks the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II taking the throne, and in 2022 that’s extra special because it’s her 70th year as queen. Mark the occasion — or make a fun project for any royal family lover on your list — with these Queen Elizabeth cross stitch patterns, found on Etsy.

I love this classic stamp cross stitch pattern from Fiddlesticksau, and it only uses a couple of colors so it’s pretty quick and easy to stitch.

This coronation design from

If you want a Jubilee-specific design to stitch, check out this cute one from Vivsters. It looks like a cake covered with British symbols. Or try the commemorative hanging pillows cross stitch kit from Sheena Rogers Designs. So pretty and you can hang these on your Christmas tree or use as decoration for tea parties for years to come.

Finally, you can keep it classic and stitch a queen and a corgi with this sweet design from My Darling Plum. Here she’s dressed in pink but you know she loves wild colors so you can make her dress and hat whatever color you like.

  1. Much as Ilike the patterns mentioned – how can you make it 75 years on the throne? 1952 to 2022 is 70 years by anyone’s maths!

D&D Cross Stitch Patterns

My husband is a D&D player from way back and still does role playing with his friends most weekends. There are lots of great D&D cross stitch patterns, but somehow the ones that caught my eye this time have a theme of being about the D&D classes or involving dice (or both). 

I love this collection of the D&D classes done as tarot cards. These would be so fun to stitch up for all the people in your party, or make the full set as one big wall hanging for the game room. There are 16 patterns total (just a few are shown here) and each one just uses three colors. The designs are from GlitchStitchAU.

This set kind of reminds me of astrological signs, though I can’t really say why. This set of 16 designs from White Raven Patterns is color coordinated so it sort of makes a rainbow if you stitch all of them. The dungeon master one is more colorful. Each one uses five or six colors and fits in a 10-inch hoop. 

Combining character classes and dice we get this set of 14 designs from Stitch it Picasso. Each one includes the class name and a die with a number on it, as well as some images that make sense for that class (the bard has a lute and music notes, for example). Each design is around 90 by 90 stitches and they use 13 to 19 colors each, depending on the design. 

Or you can make patches that look like dice with this D20 dice bundle from Non Player Creation. The patches are inspired by the four seasons, but you could change up the colors to suit your campaign setting if you like. They are 31 by 35 stitches and use between nine and 12 colors depending on the season. 

And speaking of D20s, this little dragon might be protecting your dice or cursing them, it’s hard to tell. It’s kind of cute, though! The design is from Cross Stitch Wow and measures 80 by 95 stitches. It fits in an 8-inch hoop and uses 16 colors.
