Baby Dragon

A cute little baby dragon that would be lovely for a new baby's room.

It's blue, but you could always substitute pinks if you want to stitch one for a girl!

Dragonflies & Flowers

Three delicate dragonflies, perched on three pretty pastel sunflowers.

You could also use dark fabric and stitch one dragonfly or more without the floral background.

Cute Bottle for your Kitchen

A sweet jam jar cross stitch pattern with a blank label for you to fill in.

I think a group in different colours (and labelled with different flavours) would be quite effective in a frame on the kitchen wall.

Cross Stitch Christmas Tree Ornament

Simple, yet effective.

Just stitch your design, then fold and crease it so that the corners meet and stitch the edges neatly.

Attach a little bling to hang from the bottom & a string to hang your handiwork from the tree, and you're done!

Did you know that the red "petals" of the poinsettia are really leaves?

The actual flowers are the tiny yellow parts in the centre of the bloom.

Joy, Christmas cross stitch pattern

Used here to make what looks like a drawer sachet or pincushion.


This would look just as nice framed or as a Christmas card insert.
