3 Housewarming Gift Cross Stitch Patterns

 



So, you want to give someone a gift to congratulate them on their new house or apartment. Here are three cozy cross stitch patterns that are perfect for cross stitchers and non-cross stitchers alike. Make these your next handmade housewarming present or stitch them for your own new apartment or house.

Storybook Welcome 

Storybook Welcome Cross Stitch Chart by EmnEllie



Step into a storybook with this fanciful cross stitch chart. What fairies, Princesses, or magical stories lie behind this door? It could be gifted to a fairy tale fan, or a person who relishes whimsical decor.

On the pictured model above there is the name "Anderson." This name is just used as an example. The chart is customizable. On the chart that is sent to you, there will be a blank space (where the name Anderson pictured above is) so you can stitch any name you like. I have included an alphabet PDF chart that is sent to you. The word "Welcome" is on the chart that is sent to you; however, you could always omit that from your chart if you wish. You could use the included alphabet to write whatever you want.


The sizes on various counts of Linen or Evenweave, stitched over 2 would be approximately:

28 count: 4-1/2 inches (11.6cm) wide x 6-3/4 inches (17.4cm) high

32 count: 4 inches (10.2cm) wide x 6 inches (15.2cm) high

36 count: 3-1/2 inches (9cm) wide x 5-1/4 inches (13.5cm) high

Stitch count is 64 wide x 96 high

This chart is available from my shop as a PDF instant download. The link to my shop is here.


Red Band Sampler


Red Band Sampler Cross Stitch Pattern by EmnEllie



A band sampler is such a classic type of cross stitch.

There’s a large house in the center, with two fanciful trees, two small dogs, and various geometrical motifs to fill out the chart. This sampler is stitched in red floss, but you could easily substitute any floss color you prefer.

Information about this sampler:

Stitch Count is 100 x 138

The pictured model was stitched on 18 count Ivory Aida.

Finished size on 18 count aida is approximately 5-1/2 inches (14.1cm) wide x 7-3/4 inches (19.5cm) high.

In the pictured model above, I added my initials and the year. These initials and the year will not be shown in the chart that is sent to you, I left the space blank so you could add your own initials and year.


This chart is available for free, and you can get it at this link here. 


Home Sweet Home 


Home Sweet Home Cross Stitch Pattern by EmnEllie



This is my cross stitched version of the timeless saying. I tried to incorporate all of the things that remind me of home. Motifs include: My idea of a cozy house, that sign of hospitality the pineapple, some plump birds, and two types of quilt blocks, a pinwheel quilt block and a chain quilt block.


This chart can be personalized too. In the pictured model above, I added initials. The initial at the top, and the year at the bottom will not be shown in the chart that is sent to you, that area will be left blank so that you can insert your own initial and year using the alphabet and number PDF chart that you will also receive.


Stitch count is 90 wide by 90 high.

Finished size on 20 count aida is approximately 11.4 cm by 11.4 cm. ( 4 1/2" by 4 1/2" ).

Fabric, Moving the Q-Snap, and Fall Beverages

Phone Stand Pillow In my last post, I mentioned making a phone stand pillow. My first step was deciding which fabric to use. After going on an expedition through the Castle's fabric room, I've decided on these prints: I want to make more than one phone stand. One for when I'm reading, stitching, watching TV, etc. While I probably (famous last words, haha) won't use all of these fabrics, I still have to decide who stays and who goes. More on that in my next post, so stay tuned. WIP Update Here's where I got to since last time: Medieval Menagerie by Fox and Rabbit Designs Behold! A finished phoenix! I'm very fond of this phoenix. Don't those feathers look magnificent? As an added bonus for finishing this first dazzling bird, I can move my Q-Snap, which is always a treat. It gives one such a great sense of accomplishment. As for my next steps, I'll start stitching the other phoenix and the remaining motifs in this band before I begin stitching the egg in...

Gloomy Weather Reading, Phoenixes, and a Promo Code

  Photo by  Alessia Cocconi  on  Unsplash It’s a very stormy, overcast kind of day at the Castle as I write this post. It wouldn’t take much to make me think of books I love, but doesn’t a day that makes you stay inside just make you want to read? A few years ago, I read the Phantom of the Opera. While I had seen the Emmy Rossum movie adaptation, I had never read the book, so I didn’t know what to expect going into it, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was fantastic, and a real page-turner! While I do have that book as a paper-back, I’m really enjoying reading with my Kindle. I can stay up late (as late as I can before I fall asleep face first into my pillow) and hear the owls hooting or the traffic driving past my window in the distance. If the weather stays as dark and gloomy as the weatherman says it will, then I foresee reading to the sound of thunder and rain as well. What’s not to like about that? It would be absolutely unacceptable if I mentioned the Phantom ...
