I am excited to share my collection of cross stitch designs! These patterns are the perfect size for a burp cloth, quilt square, blanket, bib, or for embellishing baby's clothing! Some of the patterns are designed by me, but most are adapted from antique cross stitch books that are not longer in print. Please feel free to use these for your own non-commercial use, and note the copyright at the bottom of the page.

Cross stitch is a fast and fun way to add some color and your own handmade touch to baby's things. You'll find free cross stitch patterns for monograms, alphabets, bugs and animals, repeating patterns, borders, and much more on these pages. Once you get a feel for embellishing with cross stitch, you can play around with your own color selections, and even combine two separate patterns into one. You could, for example, stitch a border onto a burp cloth and add baby's monogram centered in the border.

These designs are appropriate for cross stitching on linen, silk, cotton, or on cross stitch fabric. Many of the designs are created for 10 count fabric, so they work up quickly and are great for a beginner.
