Sometimes I have trouble categorizing patterns when I’m trying to share them with you, so while these aren’t strictly word art in the sense of only having words, I think that will do to explain these pretty Thanksgiving cross stitch patterns.
This first one actually is what I’d consider word art since it pretty much just has the words Happy Thanksgiving in a big, bold, colorful font surrounded by leaves. The design is from The Stitch Patterns on Etsy and is just about 7 by 7 inches on 14 count fabric.
The Happy Thanksgiving pattern from Etsy seller Your Favorite Pattern features those words as well as pumpkins, a few fall leaves and a pilgrim hat. This one is 91 by 93 stitches and fits in an 8-inch hoop when worked on 14 count fabric.
For a more traditional look, even if the sentiment is modern, check out the Thankful, Grateful, Blessed cross stitch pattern from A New Creation by Alison on Etsy. This one use more muted colors for an instant-vintage look. I love the different designs on the pumpkins, too. The full design is 189 by 88 stitches, but you can also work each section separately if you want to make cards or little pillows or bags instead of a larger wall hanging. Totally up to you!
And speaking of a traditional look, it can’t get more traditional than pilgrims, which is what you’ll find on the We Give Thanks design from Calico Confectionery on Etsy. It’s shown styled as a little pillow, but you could also put it in a frame if you like. It measures 90 by 88 stitches and is shown on tea-dyed fabric, which is a fun touch to make it look older even if you just stitched it.
