Teacup cross stitch
A gift with the date on it
A stitched wedding sampler is a classic keepsake. Pick a central motif, such as the interlocking rings or a heart, then add the couple's names and the date underneath with the cross stitch text tool. Start early: a framed sampler with lettering usually takes a few weeks of evenings.
Cards and small gifts
Smaller motifs suit wedding cards, ring-bearer pillows and anniversary gifts. A rose or a pair of rings fits on a card front; a heart can be repeated as a border around names. For favours, a few rows of hearts make a pretty bookmark.
Colours
Gold and ivory feel traditional, and metallic thread adds sparkle to rings. For a modern look, match the colours to the wedding palette by swapping threads in the editor.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add names and a date?
Make a text chart with the cross stitch text tool, then stitch it below the motif, centring it on the same middle column.
What fabric should I use for a wedding sampler?
White or antique white 14- or 16-count Aida is easy; 28-count evenweave worked over two looks finer and frames beautifully.
Which design suits an anniversary?
The interlocking rings work for any anniversary; add the number of years in the space above or below.
Are these free?
Yes, all patterns are free with printable PDFs.
