Queen Elizabeth Cross Stitch to Celebrate Her Jubilee

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.

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.

Fourth of July Cross Stitch Patterns

Unique Stitch Crafts is a Turkish designer that has a couple of main interests in their cross stitch designs: travel and Christmas stockings.

By far the biggest category in their storefront is Christmas stockings, with more than 100 options to choose from. There are fully stitched fronts with designs classic and whimsical (like an alicorn and a pastel rainbow, or a bunny in Harlequin costume playing violin to a mushroom) and designs that just go across the cuff of the stocking. There are ornaments with a Nutcracker or Frozen theme, New York City stockings and stockings for your dinosaur.

As an example, here’s a stocking covered with mini holiday designs, which you could also use as ornaments if you wanted. The full design is 165 by 255 stitches, which comes out to 10.3 by 16 inches, or 26 by 40.6 cm on 16 count fabric. The pattern just makes the front of the stocking so you need to grab some fabric for the back of the stocking and sew it together yourself.

There’s also a large collection of travel cross stitch patterns, including national parks designs both large and mini, and travel poster style designs for many US states and cities. (There’s not an Arkansas, which is my standard test since I live there, but there is a pattern of the Mississippi River bridge in Memphis, which is technically half in Arkansas.)

If you’re more of a world traveler you’ll find more of the travel poster style designs for cities and countries, including Thailand and China, Berlin, Sydney and Marrakech.

In addition to all of that, you’ll find patterns called retro, which includes a wide range of designs, but many seem to be food and coffee related; folk art designs (lots of flowers and birds); and famous paintings translated to cross stitch. Smaller categories include Christmas, Halloween, animals, kids and castles.
