A story told in stitches: Family portrait
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Agnès Delage-Calvet
Here's a fun Family portrait to cross stitch, designed by Agnès Delage-Calvet.
The chart includes plenty of different characters so you can pick and choose, and of course personalize the ones that match your family.
Each generation is represented with over 30 fun characters as well as family pets. There are also elements of decor such as houses and trees to stitch in the background. You can mix elements, such as one persons hair, another one's glasses and a third one's body so that they closely resemble your loved ones.
We particularly like some of the characters such as the posh old lady wearing a jacket and pearls, or the skinny bearded young red-haired man. Each has their own personality like in any real family.
The base design, from which you can start, shows 3 people and 2 pets in a garden with a house in the background. However it's up to you to compose your own stitched piece, with as many family members as you wish. You can also stitch everyone's name (backstitch alphabet is included).
Don't hesitate to mix generations. Why not include grand-parents, or make a series with all your cousins?
This cross stitch design is part of the "Stories told in stitches" series by Agnès Delage-Calvet. Once you have finalized your firts family portarit, you can stitch the other series and substitute characters as you go.
