Ruth Bader Ginsburg Cross Stitch Pattern

September 23, 2020 by Sarah White 1 Comment

There are so many amazing Ruth Bader Ginsburg cross stitch patterns out there, and I will probably be sharing several this week in her honor, but I wanted to note in particular this one from Pandostitch on Etsy.

It’s awesome, as you can see, but even better, the proceeds on sales through November 2020 are going to Flip the Senate, if that’s a thing that interests you.

Back to the pattern: it uses six colors and is 41 by 73 stitches. On 14-count fabric it is 2.9 by 5.2 inches.

It looks pretty easy and would be a great statement piece for this political season.

Check out this Ruth Bader biographical coloring book introduces kids to the crusading Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Thirty carefully researched and beautifully illustrated pages highlight the important milestones in Ginsburg’s remarkable life, from her time as a law professor and her years on the U.S. Court of Appeals to her career as the 107th Supreme Court Justice.

Admiration for RGB is one thing and the artistic ability of the Etsy crafter is fine. But you promoted the view of the Democrats when you put this on your website. I have gotten your emails for years and have loved them but I will not continue if you are going to promote the politics of anyone. Political views do not belong on a craft site unless you tell everyone ahead of time that you are going to do that. Now show me a pro Trump craft .

How to Cross Stitch on a Chair

I love seeing different ways that cross stitch can be worked on unusual surfaces, from strainers to chain link fences and more. One slightly more common way to add cross stitch to your home without using cross stitch fabric is to stitch on a chair base.

Chairs that have woven ratan backs and/or bases are a marker of mid-century design through the 1970s and ’80s, but there are a lot of options currently for sale if you don’t want to hunt one down at a vintage store or garage sale. Because the open blocks are built into the furniture, it’s not that difficult to imagine what cross stitch will look like on the surface.

If you have a chair you want to stitch on, or you just want to be inspired by other people’s work, check out this tutorial from Bobo Stitch all about how to stitch on a chair base. The chair they used has a round base and a long oval piece on the back of the chair that had space for stitching. (They found it on eBay.)

The post walks you through all the tools you will need to be able to cover your chair with cross stitch. They actually used ribbon to do the stitching, but you could use wool yarn or even thick cotton yarn if you wanted.

It doesn’t look like a super difficult project but I can see how it might be tedious because it’s not as easy to stitch on a chair as it is to stitch on fabric. And if you are doing a set of chairs this won’t be a quick project, but it’s well worth the effort if you want to add a bit of color and funky boho style to your chairs.

Would you do this to a chair? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
