This week’s designer profile takes us to Little Stitch Girl, whose Etsy shop is full of cute designs centered on holidays and seasons.
Her shop includes 64 designs and they all fall into a seasonal category, including:
- Spring
- Summer
- Autumn
- Winter
- Valentine’s Day
- St. Patrick’s Day
- Patriotic
- Halloween
- Christmas
Since I’m writing this right before spooky season, let’s take a look at those Halloween patterns. It’s actually the largest group of designs, and includes everything from a cross stitched candy corn worked with gingham and plaid designs to a whole series of buildings known as Spooky Hollow (the full set is shown above and linked here, but you can also buy the patterns individually). Dracula’s coffin shop might be my favorite, but they’re all pretty cute. The designs are more sweet than creepy so they’re great to stitch up if you like decorating for Halloween but don’t want to get too grim about it.
In addition the the Etsy shop, Little Stitch Girl has a website that includes a nice collection of embroidery tutorials to help you add finishing touches to your cross stitch projects. There are videos for things like French knots and lazy daisies as well as star stitches, herringbone stitch and more.
You’ll also find a collection of cross stitch freebie patterns on her website. There’s a cross stitch design in support of Ukraine, which should still be on our minds, and designs about winter, spring, the comforts of home and a border you can work on the above-mentioned Spooky Hollow design if you work them all one one piece of fabric arranged in a couple of different ways.
These designs are cute and look like fun to stitch. Definitely check out her Christmas patterns if you like plaid!
