Tea Cross Stitch Patterns

by

It wasn’t intentional that I shared a coffee-related pattern in my latest designer spotlight and then had a collection of tea cross stitch patterns for my next post. But I imagine we could all use all the caffeine we can get, so let’s dig into these fun tea patterns!

I love this witchy watercolor tea pattern (it could also be coffee, who can say?) and think it would be a great one to stitch up for a tea or coffee loving friend. It comes from Pixel and Floss, and measures 124 by 194 stitches. It uses a whopping 55 colors to get that awesome look.

Need some help remembering how long to steep your favorite teas? This cross stitch pattern is also a recipe, including the time and temperature for preparing white, green, herbal, red or black tea. It comes from 1000sPatterns (an authorized seller of Your Briar Patch designs) and uses 24 colors and three blends in a stitch area of 130 by 108 stitches. It comes out to 9.29 by 7.71 inches and 23.6 by 19.6 cm on 14 count fabric.

Another cute one featuring different varieties of tea, this time represented by different styles of teapots and cups, comes from Stitchrovia. This would be super cute by your tea area. It measures 117 by 139 stitches and uses 16 colors. For a smaller project you can just stitch one or several of the pots or cups and change the colors to suit your decor.

If you’re a fan of Star Trek you’ll want to stitch up Captain Picard’s favorite tea order to hang in your ready room. This one from Stitch Riot Designs uses eight colors and measures 72 by 91 stitches. That comes out the 5.14 by 6.5 inches, or 13 by 16.5 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric.

The Fancy a Cuppa? design from The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery is really cute with smiling teacup, pot and sugar cubes. The design is 54 by 107 stitches and is 3.9 by 7.6 inches (about 10 by 19.3 cm) on 14 count Aida or 28 count linen.

Seagull Cross Stitch Patterns

Summertime is beach time, which also means it’s seagull time. Let’s stitch up some of our favorite scavengers of the shore. 

This little seagull stamp from Easy Patterns Only is super cute and fun to stitch for any lover of the sea. At 23 by 27 stitches, it uses six colors and measures 1.64 by 1.93 inches or 4.17 by 4.9 cm on 14 count fabric. 

I also love this silly little seagull from Stitchissimo. This one is 24 by 35 stitches and uses five colors. On 14 count fabric it’s just 1.7 by 2.5 inches, or 4.4 by 6.4 cm. 

Go for a more traditional flying gull project with this one from Silverberry Designs. It uses six colors and measures 2.21 by 4.43 inches (5.6 by 11.3 cm) on 14 count fabric with a stitch count of 31 by 62. 

Use seagulls to share your love with this pattern from Yellow Birdie Stitches. Share it with the person you love more than a seagull loves chips (you could change it to fries pretty easily if you prefer the American term). It’s 63 by 60 stitches and uses 10 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 4.5 by 4.25 inches, or 11.4 by 10.9 cm. 

And speaking of fries, Happy Sloth Patterns offers this seagull with a face full of chips. It uses nine colors and is 60 by 49 stitches. On 14 count fabric that’s 4.3 by 3.5 inches, or 10.9 by 8.9 cm, which fits nicely in a six-inch hoop. 

Or stitch up some carousing gulls with this pattern from Non Stop Stitch. It looks like these seagulls are about to get into a fight! The design uses 22 colors and blends and measures 145 by 75 stitches. That’s 8.94 by 4.31 inches, or 22.7 by 10.95 cm on 14 count fabric. 

For a more stately seagull sailor, check out this pattern from Mansarda Cross Stitch. This one combines cross stitch and an embroidered background, though you could leave that out if you don’t do embroidery. It calls for 20 colors and one blend, and measures 83 by 88 stitches. The sample was worked on 56 count linen 1 over 2, but you can use regular Aida fabric if you prefer.
