Fall into Autumn with Stitch-tober 2021!

Oh my gourd-ness… October is almost here and I’m ready to “Fall” into Autumn with the cutest seasonal stitches! Join me, Kimberly Jolly, for the annual Stitch-tober Stitch Along as we spend the month of October stitching up fall-themed designs. You can join us by stitching a new pattern every day, a new pattern each week, or spend your October stitching up one big piece.

Stitch-tober begins October 1 and will carry on through November 15! This year I am stitching up our new mystery pattern, Autumn Beauties, along with several other patterns you can see here and on the FQS Stitch-tober supply page.

Stitch Autumn Beauties

Designed and stitched with a little bit of sunshine and pumpkin spice, this cross stitch pattern will put you in a fall-themed frenzy. I’ll be stitching this pattern throughout October!

The Autumn Beauties pattern is a 5-part downloadable PDF pattern series beginning October 1. After you sign up, you’ll receive a new pattern each week via email in time to finish by the end of the month.

Stitch-tober Dates

Every day for five weeks starting Friday, October 1, join me on our Cross Stitch Instagram and Facebook for Stitch-Tober updates. I will show my progress every Wednesday at 9 AM CST on Fat Quarter Shop FlossTube.

We created a FREE downloadable calendar so you can jot down the details for each project you plan to stitch. This is such a great way to keep track of progress and it will keep you accountable. If you want to organize each project, then we recommend you pick up a copy of our Cross Stitch Journal. The Cross Stitch Journal allows you to record every detail for every cross stitch project, such as pattern, designer, time spent, and floss and cloth used.
