Patriotic Liberty House Pattern for Patriotic Stitching for the 250th Anniversary of the US

 


If you're looking for a design to stitch for the 250th Anniversary of the USA, you might enjoy stitching the Patriotic Liberty House. This design was released a few months ago. It was my first design using Weeks Dye Works floss, which is absolutely beautiful! I really love the color variety of floss they have.

So if you're doing some patriotic stitching, or joining in on a patriotic SAL and need a design to stitch for it, give this one a consideration! There are also other patriotic options at Happiness Is HeartMade... some larger designs, some smaller designs... you can check them out here...   Patriotic Patterns at Happiness Is HeartMade.

New Releases: November Cat, November Dog, and Scottie November Dog Cross Stitch Patterns

 

November Cat Cross Stitch Pattern from the Cat Tales Collection by Happiness Is HeartMade 

November Dog Cross Stitch Pattern from the Dog Days Series by Happiness Is HeartMade  Scottie November Dog Cross Stitch Pattern from the Dog Days Series by Happiness Is HeartMade

The November Cat, November Dog, and Scottie November Dog cross stitch patterns are out... 

These charts are part of the Cat Tales Collection and Dog Days Series, in case you would like to check out all the other charts that go along with these...   ðŸ©·

I've probably already mentioned this somewhere, but I love autumn... it's my favorite season. This was a fun chart to create, with the little squirrel holding an acorn. We don't have many squirrels here... I've only seen a couple (we don't have many large trees in the yard). Our previous home had a small section of woods in the yard, so we had squirrels all the time there, which was really nifty. 

Well, if you're stitching the monthly cats, there's only one left to go after this one! If you're stitching the dogs, they will continue into 2026 until all of the monthly dog patterns are out.  😊

New Release: Faith: Hebrews 11:1 KJV Bible Verse Cross Stitch Pattern


 

This isn't exactly a bluebird, but the colors remind me of the bluebirds we had at the feeders this morning. Each year we get at least one birdhouse with bluebirds, which is wonderful!

This pattern is called Faith: Hebrews 11:1. The idea behind the bird and nest of eggs was that the birds attend the nest, with faith that the eggs will hatch. They are believing as fact, something that is yet to happen... sort of like our faith in the things of God... we have faith that God will accomplish the things He promises to His children.

The Friends: Proverbs 17:17 pattern is very similar to this one... you can find it here...

Information about this pattern: 
Faith: Hebrews 11:1
Pattern #2014-E
Design Stitch Count: 86w x 58h
Design Measurement:
6.14″w x 4.14″h on 14-count aida
5.38″w x 3.63″h on 16-count aida

New Release: Sunflower Serenade Cross Stitch Pattern

 


A warming cross stitch pattern for the cooling weather... The Sunflower Serenade cross stitch pattern uses 2 shades of yellow, green, and brown. 

This design was inspired by a chart in an early 1900s needlework book.

Design Stitch Count: 103w x 103h

New Release: Beekeeping Crows Cross Stitch Pattern

 


This time of year, we have several crows in the yard (I can hear them outside while I write this). They disappear for awhile in late summer, then come back for the fall. I enjoy watching them... they've got a lot of personality! 

The Beekeeping Crows is a set of 3 patterns that have crows, sunflowers and bees... a beautiful stitch for this time of year.


Stitch Count:

Pattern with 2 Crows Design Stitch Count: 87w x 59h 

Pattern with 1 Crow Design Stitch Count: 59w x 59h

Small Floral Design Design Stitch Count: 45w x 45h

Pigeons and Strawberries Cross Stitch Pattern

 


We have a flock of pigeons that I see sometimes when I head toward town... it made me think of this pattern from a few months ago... 

The Pigeons and Strawberries design has a pair of adorable pigeons surrounded by strawberries, little white flowers, and hearts. The stitch count on this is 87w x 59h, so it's not a huge project. This was the first pigeon design I did, and I hope to do some more. We have been getting a pigeon loft ready for next spring...

New Releases: October Cat, October Dog, and Scottie October Dog Cross Stitch Patterns

 

October Cat Cross Stitch Pattern by Happiness Is HeartMade




are out on the Happiness Is HeartMade website...

Pumpkin Spice can be a controversial topic...  
but I'm glad that it's Pumpkin Spice season... 
I love all the warm spices that go with it 
(cinnamon is one of my favorites!). 
Autumn is my favorite time of year, 
so this pattern was an enjoyable one to work on
(well, they're all enjoyable (almost!), 
but this one a little bit more).

I hope you enjoy stitching the October designs... 
they are full of warm and wonderful autumn-y things… 
pumpkins, acorns, a crow, and autumn-colored leaves.

Don't forget to check out the other 
autumn-themed designs on the website...
the Acorn Alphabet Sampler, and more!

You can find all the autumn patterns here.
