Think Pink Bookmark to Cross Stitch

by 1 Comment

Kincavel Krosses actually has several pink ribbon cross stitch projects you should check out, but I really like the think pink bookmark.

It’s an easy design covered with two-tone pink ribbons and hearts, and it’s perfect for a bookmark or repeated on the sides of a larger design it could be used as a border.

The idea behind the designs is that they could be stitched and sold to raise money for breast cancer charities, but of course you can make them for your own use or for a friend who is fighting cancer.

  1. Thank you for the ribbon pattern. Since this is September, and uterine cancer awareness month, I’ll be sewing mine in peach. As an endometrial cancer survivor, peach is my color. : )

Designer Spotlight: Design For Cross Stitch

If you’re a fan of detailed and colorful cross stitch patterns, Design for Cross Stitch might have a pattern you want to try. This Etsy shop is based in Spain and has more than 50 designs with a focus on animals, holidays and landscapes.

I’m just going to start with the first pattern that caught my eye when I visited the site, which is this Sakura by the Lake project. This pattern is 200 by 200 stitches and the whole background is stitched, so it’s definitely not for a beginner, but it’s stunning and would be amazing to make for someone who loves Japan. Despite the detail it only uses 24 colors. Worked on 14 count fabric it will measure 14.64 inches, or 37.19 cm.

There are a few other landscape designs, including a canal in Venice and a few cabins in the woods.

The shop also has some cute animal cross stitch, with big, round faces and often holding a warm beverage. Holiday projects focus on Christmas and Halloween. Most of the patterns have a cute, chibi-like feel, but there are some that are more detailed and realistic as well. Take for examples the flower patterns, which are full of details and soft colors.

You’ll also find some fun bookmark cross stitch patterns with a watercolor feel, as well as some that look kind of like paint pouring turned into stitches.

If this sort of stuff sounds like fun to you, check out their Etsy store at Design for Cross Stitch.
