Delfts blauw tegeltje borduurpatroon

Cross stitch a Delft Blue tile with me!

It’s time to stitch the very first English Calming Stitch Craft pattern! The Delftware tile is a typically Dutch piece of decoration that can be found somewhere in most houses in the Netherlands. Although the tradition of having hand painted Delft Blue tiles has run its course, there have been many modern takes on this little piece of history. A Delftware cross stitch tile is a funny, modern version of this old fashioned piece of décor. This version of the cross stitched tile can say “Have a nice poop” (because how hilarious is that!), but you can also give the tile a personal twist by adding your own quote to it. Let’s get started!

Hanging up one of these funny handstitched tiles in your bathroom is guaranteed to get a giggle or two out of your guests.
