These lovely patterns were designed for a sachet or tiny pillow, to mix and match as you wish.

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!

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.

Contented Cat

I love cats, in case you didn't already know, so anytime I come across a pattern of one it has to be added here!
