Designer Spotlight: Oh My Stitches Shop

by

There’s so much cute stuff at Oh My Stitches Shop I don’t even know where to start.

The first thing I saw when scrolling through Etsy that brought me to the shop was this set of month by month black cat cross stitch patterns, which would be great for cat lovers of all stripes to stitch, even if you don’t happen to have a black cat (which I do).

But when I opened their storefont the thing at the top was the amazing set of dragon cross stitch patterns, and I knew those were the ones I really needed to share, though there was plenty more I was tempted by as I scrolled through.

So first, the dragons. This set of four patterns shows dragon silhouettes with landscapes and flowers in the background. Each one is 130 by 130 stitches, which comes out to 9.05 inches or 23.59 cm on 14 count fabric. The number of colors varies from 15 to 19 depending on the design. There’s a similar set done with dinosaurs if that is more your style.

But there’s so much more fun stuff here. How about ghosts in scenes that look like Gothic brooches? Cats being abducted by aliens? Seasonal gnomes? (There’s another set of month designs with gnomes.) The shapes of US states filled in with their state flower? (Note as of this writing there are 47 listed but they aren’t in alphabetical order so I’m not sure which states are missing.)

There are cute Christmas patterns, mostly with animals, and of course a bunch of great Halloween designs. Just to name a few. There are skills and floral monograms (again not the full alphabet as I write this), landscapes and funny quotes. I think it’s likely you’ll find something you want to stitch on this site with its more than 600 options.

So don’t let me keep you! Go check out all the goodies at Oh My Stitches shop, and come back here and let me know what you’re making.
