About Us

At Painting Fairy we love cross stitch, and we want you to love it too.


  Cross stitch is a craft rooted in tradition, but designers today are approaching it with fresh eyes and updating the traditional motifs in new ways. It's cross stitch that is fresh, modern, and above all, fun.

  Painting Fairy is where you will find this new, modern cross stitch. We offer a curated selection of kits, patterns, and the best supplies to get you up and stitching quickly. We also focus on free projects, inspiration, and how-to content to help you make the most of your stitching.

  Whether you are new to cross stitch, dabbling in the craft after a long absence, or a life-long stitcher, you will find what you need at Painting Fairy .

  A note from DaTou, Painting Fairy founder
  Our brand was founded in 2010, there was not much in the way of modern cross stitch. Since then, the craft has exploded, with new designers creating a vast and exciting catalog of contemporary patterns.

  I created Painting Fairy to help bring these modern cross stitch designs to a wider audience. I also wanted to make cross stitch more accessible by making it easy to find supplies and instruction.

  I hope you enjoy looking around and exploring the world of modern cross stitch. If you have suggestions for the site - something you would like to learn, a designer you think we should know about - drop me a line. I would love to hear from you.
