I'm Freeing my cross stitch patterns!

I still get emails asking for patterns since I broke up with etsy a few years ago, and while I don't really want to get back into making patterns, I still like the ones I've made. So, I've put them all (16 of them) up on my ko-fi, for free.

This set of patterns includes some ~rare~ ones!

This wasn't on etsy for long - but it's one of my very favs.

and not just the return of the Avatar map (designed in 2012), but finally the updated version.

If it is fanart - Absolutely free (in the hopes they get to stay up). If not, it's free/pay what you want.

Happy stitching!

Another cute My Blue Nose Pattern in the books! 😁💖🦘

Do you have vintage cross stitch books tucked away on your shelf? 🧵✨

I’d love your help with something meaningful. I’m on a mission to preserve vintage cross stitch booklets, especially the beloved Gloria and Pat books, so they don’t become lost over time. Many of these books are no longer available to buy and are becoming harder to find. So every booklet added helps keep these patterns alive for current and future cross stitchers.

If you have any vintage books or patterns, please consider scanning and uploading them to the Internet Archive so these books won’t be forgotten to time. Preservation efforts like this are supported under Section 108: Library and Archives Exceptions, which helps protect copyright while ensuring these beautiful patterns aren’t lost to history.

If you’d like to contribute, I’d truly appreciate it! I’ve already personally scanned and archived over 100 booklets to the Internet Archive, but the more the better!!

Every scan makes a difference, thank you for helping keep these treasures alive. 💛

This is better then I could’ve imagined! 🥹💖😂 Thank you Sampler Bot!!

This TikTok I made is the perfect overview of my current collection of Gloria and Pat cross stitch books as well as others. 😂💖 More books of mine coming to the Internet Archive soon!!

[slidepool]

The perfect match! 💖😁

High tech scanning in progress, and I had the cutest helper. 😂💖 Trying to scan one book a day as the process is time consuming but worth it. Internet Archive Link.

✨Huge collection of vintage cross stitch patterns available!!✨

I’ve been in the process of collecting Gloria and Pat cross stitch books (excluding the Precious Moments books) in order to keep these vintage patterns alive. I just uploaded a ton of patterns to the internet archives for anyone to use, and have more books to scan and upload soon! I will be transitioning more books soon from this list, so keep an eye out.

Link to all these patterns here. 🧵💖

I’ve been trying to be more conscious of copyright and trademark laws, so my collection will be available on the internet archive moving forward. To my knowledge these books are in a gray area with the copyright still in effect but these books are no longer being produced. So to be respectful to Gloria and Pat’s company and legacy while also preserving these patterns, my collection will be solely on the internet archive for personal and nonprofit use only.

[slidepool]

Yet another My Blue Nose Friends pattern finished! This is the fourth in my series to do all 183 plushies! 🐋💖 Pattern and more available here!

[slidepool]

Found these patterns on Pinterest and for the life of me couldn’t find the original patterns anywhere. So I made my own versions and tweaked them a bit from the original designs. 😁❤️ Patterns available here!

[slidepool]

Found DC Superman and Batman too on Pinterest. So I made my own version with some tweaking and added those to the pattern collection. 😁💙

Slowly but surely, I've been working on creating cross stitch patterns of rides at Disneyland. With the end goal being a pattern for every ride at Disneyland, because every ride is someone's favorite ride.

I would love to sell these, but I don't want corporate Disney breathing down my neck, so their free for use! ✨🏰 Patterns can be found here!

[slidepool]

Another Disneyland ride pattern in the books! 😁💖🐛 30 rides left!

[slidepool]

Smaller version since the first one is almost 200 stitches wide. 😁 These ride patterns will be around 100 stitches wide/tall moving forward to keep some consistency.
