Back when I was a kid and I was first starting with hand stitching I did a lot of cross-stitch projects. Can you say, Precious Moments? I was all about the kits. :) But as I got older I kind of got out of the habit and just moved onto other things.
Lately though I have been dying to get back into it – and I have come across all these really fun and unique cross-stitch patterns for pretty projects. Especially cross-stitch on a giant scale – it’s just too awesome. So I thought they would be fun to share with you today!
Some of these are cross-stitch on new materials, some just large-scale projects – some aren’t even made with thread at all but use paint or vinyl! How fun is that?!

Thanks so much for including my cross stitch letter sorter in such an amazing round-up! My favourite is desk pegboard one – I have two large pegboards on my desk that are asking for some crafty love, and it’ll be the perfect solution!
Beverly says
Aren’t those pegboards great?? I can’t wait to get one and paint it up – they are so colorful!! And your letter sorter is darling! :)

So fun! I’ve been trying to figure out a fun cross stitch project to do as well. And we just so happen to have a huge old peg board we took down in our basement that now I want to repurpose for something fun!!
Claire says
What a great round up. I just love cross stitch ! I think my favs have to be the rocking chair and the chair though. I love the idea of cross stitch being incorporated into furniture.
