Big Cozy Projects

Year-long and heirloom projects to start in January — a cottage garden stitch-along, a personalised bookshelf, a wildflower wedding sampler, a patchwork quilt sampler and our cozy alphabet pack.

January is my favorite time to start something big. These are the projects I save for the new year: year-long stitch-alongs, heirloom samplers and full coverage cross stitch pieces that fill the fabric edge to edge. They take a while, and that is exactly the point. A big project gives every quiet evening of the year something cozy to come back to.

Big cross stitch projects, broken into easy steps

A large chart can feel like a lot, so I design these to be friendly. Charts are split over clear pages with overlap rows, so you always know where you are, and every pattern comes with a large print chart that is gentle on tired eyes. You also get a full-color chart, a black and white symbol chart, a Pattern Keeper version and a DMC floss key.

If you like to plan your year, my 2027 temperature cross stitch patterns pair beautifully with a big project. And before you cut your fabric, pop the stitch count into my fabric size calculator so you have enough margin for framing.

Good to know

Are these patterns a physical kit?

No, these are digital PDF patterns. You download them instantly after checkout. Fabric, thread and hoop are not included, and each pattern lists exactly which DMC colors you need.

Are they suitable for beginners?

Every pattern has an honest difficulty label. Beginner patterns use a small palette, full cross stitches only and very little confetti, so they are lovely first projects.

Can I use Pattern Keeper?

Yes. Every pattern includes a Pattern Keeper friendly PDF along with the full-color and black & white charts.
