Stitch Up Tiny Landmarks in Stamp Form

March 29, 2025 by Sarah White

I don’t know if stamps are trending as a craft motif or maybe I’m just ahead of the game, but Pinterest has been serving me a lot of content in all sorts of craft genres having to do with stamps lately. We’re talking little stamp shaped paintings and sewing projects and, as you might image based on where you are reading this, stamp cross stitch patterns.

Maybe it’s because we’re feeling a collective loss of attention span lately and we need little, cute, satisfying crafts to get us through these long, hard days.

Or maybe the algorithm knows I’m a sucker for cute little satisfying projects.

Whatever.

One such example is this lovely little collection of 20 world landmarks stitched in stamp form. The design is from Teeny Weeny X Stitch and I’m not sure I can identify all of them off the top of my head (and the pattern listing doesn’t say), a few of them are the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, the Taj Mahal, the pyramids in Egypt (and a Mayan pyramid, too!), Christ the Redeemer, the Statue of Liberty, the Sydney Opera House, the Colosseum, Stonehenge, the Washington Monument and the Great Wall of China.

If you can identify more of them, let me know!

Each pattern is 40 by 40 stitches and they use between 9 and 23 colors depending on the location. They come out less than 3 inches/7.6 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric.

I kind of love the whole set done as one big piece, but you could also stitch your favorites as individual projects. How cute would a little Eiffel Tower be in your scrapbook about your trip to France (if you are such a person to travel to France and keep scrapbooks)? A little Leaning Tower of Pisa made into a patch to cover a stain on a shirt? The possibilities are endless!

You can grab the pattern from Teeny Weeny X Stitch on Etsy.

A Cross Stitch I Spy at the Beach

That headline pretty much describes the Under the Sea cross stitch pattern from Una Buena Pieza, which is covered with shells, fish and other creatures of the sea. It’s not intended to be an I spy, I don’t think, and most of the same kinds of animals are grouped together, but I think it would be fun for someone who didn’t stitch it to look and see what different things they can find within.

The pattern includes turtles, jellyfish, a whale, shark, ray, all sorts of fish and shells and I’m sure other things that I’m not noticing right now. Dolphins! Coral! Seagulls!

It looks like it would be super fun to stitch and fun to have on the wall during the summer months, or even hang in a kid’s room if you know a young one who loves the beach or ocean animals.

The design is 110 by 220 stitches. It comes out to about 8 by 16 inches, or 20 by 40 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric. It calls for 19 colors.

This design looks great on light blue fabric as shown, but in the pattern listing on Etsy you’ll also see what it looks like on a darker blue and a white fabric, and they all look pretty good so you can use whatever color you like to suit your decor or your idea of what color the “ocean” should be. There’s even a customer photo that looks like it was done on a sort of tie-dyed green fabricc, which is really fun.

However you stitch it, I think this project would go faster than you imagine because there are so many fun little things to stitch. It will be hard to get bored when you can just move on to a different animal or part of the design.

Check out this pattern from Una Buena Pieza on Etsy.
