Summer Subway Art Cross Stitch Pattern

This summer word art cross stitch pattern is super cute and looks like it would be fun to stitch.

It includes lots of summery words in fun colors and fonts, as well as summer icons like a sand castle, grill and ice cream truck.

I love it on the blue fabric that is shown in the sample, but it would be great on white or any other color you have on hand, too.

The pattern is 182 by 224 stitches, with a design area around 13 by 16 inches.

You can buy the chart from Crab Shack Stitchery on Etsy.

The post over at The Crafty Mummy has the click-baity title of “Is there a right or wrong way to cross stitch?” Of course the answer is no. As with any other craft, as long as you are happy with the results you’re doing it right and no one should try to convince you otherwise.

That said, there are things that you can do to make your cross stitch a little better if you aren’t totally happy with the way your projects are looking. They might not be considered the “right way,” but they are important things to think about and if you want to deviate from these “rules” at least you’ll know that you’re doing it.

You can head over there to read all the tips, but it’s things like making sure your stitches are all going in the same direction (meaning you stitch the bottom legs of a row all in the same direction, then work back and stitch all the top legs in the same direction). You wouldn’t think something like that would make a huge difference until you don’t do it and then you can’t unsee it.

Most of things things aren’t rules so much as they are reminders to be consistent in what you are doing as you work a project. So however you start doing things like stitch direction or the number of strands of floss (I might even add using a hoop versus not, since the hoop can stretch the fabric and change the tension of the stitches a bit) you should continue in that way throughout the project in order for it to look its best.
