Tea towel round up – What’s not to love about an anatomical heart?

teatowel1 SKinny Laminx has some verrry cute tea towels all designed and printed by herself using local materials.
The Ikea one is my favoritee, I can imagine going through Ikea withdrawal if I lived somewhere without one. Now, did she make up the names of the Ikea products on there?

ArtGoodies, the fabulous work of Lisa Price, has some really nice designs on tea towels, aprons and plushies.
Lisa has a great VintageGoodies Etsy shop, I’m eyeballing these vintage bird mugs and some of the vintage tins and platters.

Leannegraeff on Etsy has some wonderful camping themed tea towels perfect to remind you of all the fun camping you’ve done. Leanne also tuns her designs in to fabric yardage. I love it that people are making their own fabric these days

I’m a sucker for anatomical heart things. Kaibrina has some lovely printed heart tea towels, perfect for your friend who loves to bake for Valentine’s Day (hey, it sneaks up faster than you think!). Her hand printed Golden Vagina tanks (a gift pretty much good for any time) are great too!

Okay, that’s enough for one post, I think I’ll save the rest for another day!

There’s no rule that says Christmas trees in real life have to be green, and there’s no rule in cross stitch that Christmas trees have to be green, either. While I love a good traditional looking tree (in reality or in cross stitch) there are lots of fun other choices, which we’ll explore here.

Looking for more Christmas tree cross stitch patterns? Check out this post from last year.

I am going to start with a traditional tree, but this one has a lot of color thanks to the lights and other decorations on it. This one is form xCountingtheStarsx, and it uses 20 colors. Worked on 16 count fabric it comes out to about 5.6 by 9.25 inches, or 14.2 by 23.5 cm, with a stitch count of 90 by 148.

These fun designs from Catholic Sprouts have traditional tree shapes but are filled with fun patterns and colors. These would be fun to stitch as a set or you can make each of them and give them as gifts to different people or use as holiday cards.

The Christmas tree shape is a little less literal in this swooping design from Well Stitches. I like this one because it only uses one color so it’s great for beginners, but it still looks dramatic. It is 109 by 155 stitches, which comes out to 7.99 by 11.07 inches, or 19.78 by 28.12 cm on 14 count fabric (dimensions for other counts are also included if you want to make it smaller).

And if you want to go for all color, check out the Merry and Bright Christmas tree cross stitch pattern from Tapestry Barn. This pretty skinny tree is surrounded by multicolored snowflakes. The designs on the tree remind me of knitting patterns. And even though it’s lots of colors, it’s only worked with whole stitches and no back stitching. It looks lovely on dark fabric! The piece measures about 7 by 7 inches, or 18 by 18 cm, on 14 count fabric.
