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!

Designer Spotlight: Haunted Frames

Cute spooky and fantasy cross stitch patterns is how the designer behind Haunted Frames describes their shop, and I have to agree with them. These designs are cute and Gothic and a little bit spooky all at once. There’s a heavy focus on book themes, which you know I am a fan of, so let’s get into it. 

Stopping first in the books section, there are lots of designs that are literally on book shapes, but if you know my love of both books and cats, you’ll know I had to share the Midnight Book Cart cross stitch pattern. As the name suggests it’s a design with a witchy book cart, complete with a spiderweb, bats flying out of a book and what it describes as a ghost cat (though I would have to make a black cat instead of a white one since I have a black cat, and that fits with the vibe). 

The design is 65 by 97 stitches and is worked in 17 colors. It’s shown on 16 count fabric, which makes it 4.1 by 6.1 inches, or 10.3 by 15.4 cm. 

I also love the winter themed little free library design, which would be perfect to stitch up for the little librarian in your life (or to drop at a neighborhood book space). 

Projects with a book theme make up the majority of the patterns that are categorized in this shop, but you’ll want to scroll through all their patterns to see what else is available, since it doesn’t look like everything is in a category. You’ll find castles and dragons, more cats of course, some more obviously Halloween and Christmas themed projects and those that would suit for spooky season or any other time of year. 

If cute and dark is your aesthetic, you’ll want to check out all the patterns at www.etsy.com/shop/HauntedFrames, which you can find on Etsy.
