It may not be cold outside yet, but we have three NEW Christmas-themed cross stitch patterns to announce today that we’ve dreamt up for you! Each pattern is designed to stand alone, so you won’t need to wait for the second or third releases to finish the first one in its entirety.
We hope you’ll join us in decking the halls by stitching this merry series. Read on for the details.
TypeFACE Christmas – Santa
The first TypeFACE Christmas release, available now, is on our nice list! Santa Claus is coming to town and to your home in this cross stitch, which features Santa’s face alongside all the jolly names he’s known by.

Rudolph and Frosty?
I’m curious about the term TypeFACE. Never saw it before. What is different about it. I’ve been stitching for a long time.
And how do I order the pattern for the Santa.
Thanks
A “typeface” is a word a graphic designer would use that means the style of lettering— Helvetica, Times Roman, etc. So the designs include a real face and some typography— it’s a play on the word— I think its super clever and fun. Yup, Rudolph and Frosty are my guesses and they’d make a lovely set!
Hi Carol! Thank you for this excellent explanation. We appreciate the support.
Hi Jane!
Carol did a wonderful job explaining what “typeface” means. We used it due to the typography and text in each design.
You can order all the patterns in the links above (the ones yet released will be added here as they come out).
Here’s the link for Santa again though: https://www.fatquartershop.com/typeface-santa-cross-stitch-pattern-its-sew-emma?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=cs-pattern-typeface-christmas
