Giselle’s Cross stitch is a sweet Etsy shop based in Sweden with a focus on holiday designs and items from nature.
The biggest category in the shop is Christmas, and it’s filled with cute nutrcrackers, snowflakes and Christmas houses. I like this Baking Christmas Bright pattern, which would be super cute added to the pocket of an apron or made for a grandparent who likes to bake with the grandkids.
It uses 14 colors and is 99 by 70 stitches. On 14 count fabric that comes out to 7.1 by 5 inches, or 18 by 12.7 cm. She says that it only took her five or six days to stitch this one, but I think it would take most of the rest of us a bit longer!
There’s also a general holiday section that includes Easter, Valentine’s Day, and a project for mom or dad. The Halloween patterns include a cute Halloween greenhouse, some cheeky ghosts and the Grim Reaper, among other things.
Another large category on the site is the nature one, which has a butterfly, some floral patterns, geese, a frog and some cute fall-themed samplers with mushrooms, foxes and rabbits.
You can also get a little Gothic with a series of potion bottle cross stitch patterns, a ghost chasing bubbles and an ambigram of the word witch (an ambigram is like a visual palindrome, so the word looks the same right side up and upside down).
Or stitch up some food. This section is heavy on fruit and I love the series of fruits that are made of the word for the fruit in the shape of the fruit. There are also some salty quotations, cute bookmarks and other fun designs, so check it all out at Giselle’s Cross Stitch on Etsy.
