Fabulous Ball Jar Cross Stitch Pattern
I love to cross-stitch!
Did you know that Country Living Magazine features a free cross-stitch pattern every month? The links for the patterns are in Country Living Magazine.
I recently completed one of their patterns from May 2015, a cute little pattern of a Ball® jar.

So adorable! Of course, being a southern lady with an avid love of all things made with mason jars, I also have replicas of the Heritage Ball ® jars in blue, green, and purple that were released from 2013 to 2015.
These jars sit on a shelf in my kitchen nook area.
I decided to recreate this same cross-stitch pattern in blue, green, and purple. I had to buy several colors of thread, but I think I eventually found a close match to each color. (I’m sure Country Living doesn’t mind that I expanded on their original design and changed the colors—wink!)
Mason jars are such a wonderful southern accent.
These four adorable little pieces now hang as companion pieces to a canvas my daughter bought me featuring vintage Ball ® jars. The canvas hangs above my kitchen table, right across from the shelf with the replica jars.

I Love My Home State Cross-Stitch Project
I love to collect vintage Ball jars. This is such a cute cross stitch pattern! Stopping by from the #HomeMattersParty linky.
I used to do cross stitches all the time when my kiddies were little! They were heaps of fun! I love your collection of ball jar cross stitches!
Thank you so much for sharing your sweet project over at Waste Not Wednesday!
Thanks Sam. I enjoy your linkup party each week.
I love ball jars as well! The vintage aqua are my fav, but I have some of the reproductions. Love the fun embroidery and your canvas is fabulous! Thanks for sharing with Share Your Cup. I’m sure it’s not intentional, but I’m not seeing our party listed in your link list.
hugs,
Jann
Thanks Jan. I’m glad you like then. And no – it is not intentional. I have just been busy on actually crafting that I haven’t updated my link page yet. It will be updated this week. Thanks for the reminder. LOL
I love your Jars and I love your embroidery I am a fan of embroidery myself and used to do it all the time – thank you for sharing with I am Pinnable 🙂
I used to do a lot of cross stitch but am kind of out of the habit a bit now. This is a great reminder of what fun it can be – thanks
Thanks Julie. Hope you enjoy it.

I love your little stitch pictures under the beautiful water colour! Thank you for letting me know about the cross stitch in Country Living. I will have to look back. Every year I make antipasto with my friend at her house. This would be a lovely little gift to bring for her kitchen.
They are very sweet and adorable. If you have problems finding the pattern on their site I will be glad to scan my copy for you.
