Thanksgiving Word Art Cross Stitch Patterns

October 27, 2023 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

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.

Christmas Ornament Cross Stitch Patterns

The other day I shared some cross stitch patterns with ornaments on them, so this time around I wanted to share cross stitch patterns that you can use as ornaments. It would be fun to do a whole tree in your craft room with cross stitch ornaments, or just add a few to your tree or give them as gifts.

These little quilt inspired cross stitch patterns from Flamingo Toes look like ornaments and fit in 3-inch hoops, which are perfect for hanging on the tree or using to decorate a gift. I love the pastel colors on these but you can use more traditional Christmas colors if you like.

This cute Christmas tree from Lagodargetoshop uses a single color and fits in a 4-inch hoop, but you could make it smaller if you wanted by trimming the last ornaments and gifts from the sides, or just stitch the tree without any other embellishments. Either way it’s a cute addition to your holiday tree.

Stitched Modern has a super cute collection of retro Christmas ornament cross stitch patterns from designer Gera. This is a printed pattern that will be shipped to you. Each pattern is about 40 by 56 stitches, or 2.9 by 4 inches/7.4 by 10 cm on 14 count fabric. To work the whole set you’ll need 20 colors of floss.

These snowflake ornaments from Our Little Handmade Home are each about 2.5 inches/6.4 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric, and they use a single color of floss. They are pretty in red but you could also do white on a blue or black background, or whatever suits your other Christmas tree decorations!

From the description it sounds like this set of vintage style cross stitch characters is presented as one large chart, but the photo from Sampler Antique Stitch shows each of them stitched up as their own little ornament, so it gets included here. You’ll find Santa and snowmen in different poses in this cute collection.
