Assisi, History of Cross Stitch
Cross Stitch patterns. History of Cross Stitch.
Assisi embroidery is a form of counted-thread embroidery based on an ancient Italian tradition where the background is filled with embroidery stitches and the main motifs are left void i.e. unstitched, similar to a silhouette. The name is derived from the Italian town of Assisi where the modern form of the craft originated. The traditional color used for most designs was red. Green and blue were also very popular colors to use. Traditional themes included animals, plants, and mystical beings like mermaids. Assisi was named after St. Clair of Assisi. St. Francis, the Patron Saint of Needleworkers, was her brother.

Tips for Working a Large Pattern
Cross Stitch Patterns.
Tips for Working a Large Pattern
Some cross stitch pattern designers make some very intricate designs. They are often very large designs as well. Designers like Heaven and Earth, Kustom Krafts, Cross Stitch Collectibles, and a few others, split their patterns into several pages. The patterns are to be worked in 10 x 10 grids starting in the left hand corner of the fabric. The best way to figure out where to start a gridded design is to take the stitch count of your pattern and divide it by the stitch count of your fabric. Example: Say the pattern is 240 x 240 stitches and the fabric is 16 count Aida. Divide each side by 16. In this case 240 divide by 16. That means your design will be 15 inches square or 15×15 inches. Find the center of your fabric by folding it in half lengthwise, then in half again by the width. Get a tape measure. From the center you will measure from the middle to the top of the fabric, half of the design height (in this case, half of 15 would be 7.5 inches). Then measure from that point (center/top) again to the left, half of the width of your design. (in this case also 15/2=7.5 inches) That is where you should start the first block of 10 x 10 stitches. Measure from the center up first, then from that point to the left side to figure out where to start your first grid of stitches, starting in the upper left hand corner of your fabric.

Heaven and Earth, Portrait of Father Christmas
Cross stitch patterns. Counted cross stitch pattern.
I love this new pattern from Heaven and Earth. It’s a portrait of an old fashioned Father Christmas.
Heaven and Earth suggested doing their patterns on 25 count Lugana fabric to preserve the detail. However, they also look great on lower fabric counts like 18 count Aida if you don’t like to work on such tiny stitches.
