This cross stitch pattern is for the hikers!

In November 2024 I hosted one of my favourite cross stitch projects: Stitchtober! In the past year I spent so much time hiking that I decided to use my adventures as an inspiration for my cross stitch design. It didn’t take long before I decided on four of my favourite things about hiking: the cute squirrels I came across during my hikes, my backpack full of snacks, my camera that I always take with me and last but not least: toadstools! I love them so much that I designed a set of toadstool cross stitch patterns earlier this fall.  

A special hiking cross stitch bonus

Are you not a hiker at heart, but would you love to give a cross stitched gift to a loved one who adores hiking? Then I have good news for you! You can personalize this hiking cross stitch pattern! I’ve added a list of more than 10 fitting quotes that you can stitch in the middle part of the pattern. With quotes like “roam free”, “into the wild” and “get lost” you can cross stitch a personalized gift for each and every hike lover! Obviously you can also use alternative colours to personalize your cross stitch project even more. And don’t worry, I won’t blab if you just make this project for yourself. As long as you have fun!
