Ruth Bader Ginsburg Cross Stitch Pattern

by

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.

Comments

  1. 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 .

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.
