Thrills and Spills Cross Stitch Pattern
$8.99
Nothing says “retro cross stitch” like a little blast from Scandinavian design past… Remember in the 70’s when printed paper towels were THE height in luxury? No?! Well in case you missed out on this gem of home decor extravaganza, you can stitch up your own luxe paper towel with the Thrills and Spills cross stitch pattern as a little “reminder” to your family that you’re not their maid. Fingers crossed they catch the “subtle” hint…

Paths to Love Blackwork Pattern
The Paths to Love blackwork pattern was featured in Issue 7 (the Love issue) of XStitch Magazine, and is inspired by the many paths we have to find and nurture love every day. Many people assume “romantic” when you say love, but it’s so much more. Whether it’s your friends, your family, your co-workers, your community as a whole, your pets, your career, or your hobbies, our lives are filled with opportunities to find love. This blackwork pattern is designed to inspire you to think of all the avenues to love in your life that have been neglected, or need to be re-explored. And if you’ve never done blackwork before, have no fear — it’s just full cross stitches and backstitch. :)


Thank You Cross Stitch Pattern
Tell those in your life that they matter, that you see them, that you thank them. Whether it’s your child’s teacher, your local shop owner who goes above and beyond, first responders who keep you safe, or the healthcare workers that keep you and your family healthy, they all appreciate a sincere thank you so deeply. This pattern can be adjusted to allow space to add in a name as shown in the images. An alphabet is not included in this pattern, but there are several alphabet charts available to purchase (the Backstitch Alphabets chart in particular would be great for this pattern, as the pattern itself is quite small at 4″ high by 6″ wide on 14 count). This pattern is also perfect for using up bits of leftover floss, as it’s only two sets of colours (a lighter and a darker of each) which can be easily changed to your taste. And because this pattern is smaller, it’s easy to stitch up multiple times, to say thank you to all those in your life who you appreciate so much.


Mother Matriarch Cross Stitch Pattern
The Mother Matriarch cross stitch pattern proclaims to the world how fiercely strong you are, and how you are the anchor of your family around whom everyone else pivots. Are you a completely amazing woman who has surprised yourself with how much you’ve gone through and survived (particularly in the last year)? Or is your mother someone who has held the entire family and her world together with her strength and tenacity? In the past year we’ve had, every day should be Mother’s Day, so celebrate how awesome you are. This badass cross stitch pattern features bling such as beading and metallics to really emphasize how glorious you are, and how your shine lights up your world. If this pattern seems familiar, it’s an adaptation combining the Queen cross stitch pattern and the Queen Bee cross stitch pattern (appropriately enough), with added calligraphic text to proclaim how fierce you are. Never worked with beading or Kreinik metallics? Have no fear, there are beading tutorials and tips for using Kreinik so you have nothing to worry about. You are the Mother Matriarch, you can conquer any challenge that comes your way, and you’ve already proven that. ❤️
