Sweet Modern Wedding Cross Stitch Patterns

by

ampersand wedding cross stitch

It seems like a really traditional thing (to me, anyway) to make a cross stitch for someone’s wedding. These patterns usually have lots of flowers and the couple’s names and their wedding date, maybe a bit of verse from the Bible or a bit of love poetry.

There’s nothing wrong with any of that, but a bit of a more modern approach can be really fun, too.

I was looking on Pinterest for wedding cross stitch patterns I liked and I happened upon two of them I liked that were from the same designer: Stitches Lovers Shop.

Being a grammar geek as I am, I love the ampersand design, where the family name is positioned in the middle of the design along with the wedding date at the bottom. This one costs $6.

Also $6 is the green wreath wedding record cross stitch pattern, which comes in a few different variations and uses the first names and wedding date of the couple — perfect for couples that won’t share a last name or anyone else!

Both are designed so you can change the names and dates yourself, or they will personalize it for you if needed.

  3. Maybe this IS how they spell it. That was my first thought too, but then, you never know.

Bookmark Cross Stitch Patterns

It seems like there’s no end to the available options when it comes to cross stitch bookmarks, which is a good thing because they’re perennially popular to stitch as well. This time I thought I’d share some colorful cross stitch bookmarks to get you ready for the new school year or to make meeting your reading goals a little more fun. 

I love these retro floral designs from The Stitch Patterns. This set of four patterns is rated as very easy, and each bookmark measures 2.5 by 6 inches (or 6.35 by 15.25 cm) on 14 count fabric. 

These cute ones that look like mosaic tile would also be fun to stitch. This set includes five designs from EmbroSTyle Designs, and they call them folk art but they mostly look like old mosaics to me. Either way, the bookmarks are 25 by 101 stitches, and to stitch the full set uses 12 colors. 

If you’re looking for more of a challenge, you can stitch up a work of art with this set of 16 bookmarks designed to look like famous paintings. Stitch some sunflowers or a great wave or a starry night. Most of these are between 14 and 20 colors (the great wave is only 8) and the bookmarks are totally covered with stitching at a count of 35 by 100 stitches. Grab this set from Sunset and Sea Design.

Or how about some bookmarks inspired by books (or by movies inspired by books)? This set of Lord of the Rings bookmarks includes four landmarks from the books/movies. Each one is 35 by 115 stitches and uses between 8 and 17 colors. You can find them at byCountryMagicStitch.

These don’t quite all fit the description of being colorful bookmarks to cross stitch, but a few of them do, and speaking of book-themed bookmarks I had to share this set from Mama Geek inspired by Heartstopper. There are seven designs in all that should be quite familiar to readers (or viewers of the series).
