Cross Stitch Kits for Baby - On the Farm!

We've added a new selection of Cross Stitch Kits for Baby to the store.  You won't want to miss these new farm-themed cross stitch patterns.  You'll find them in the Embroidery Kits section!

The classic children's song "Old McDonald Had a Farm, E-I-E-I-O!" comes to life in this fun On the Farm Baby Quilt Kit from Bucilla.

This stamped cross stitch baby quilt design features a complete farm scene, including red barn, lively farm animals, and a friendly farmer riding a green tractor.

Kit includes a prefinished baby quilt, cotton embroidery floss, floss separator, needle, and instructions.

The cross stitch pattern is stamped on the baby quilt in wash-away ink.  With stamped cross stitch, there's no chart or counting required.  Stitches are placed directly over the X's on the fabric. Your finished baby quilt will become a treasured family keepsake!

The matching On the Farm Baby Birth Record Kit is a counted cross stitch design from Bucilla.

This counted cross stitch design highlights baby's birth record with a smiling sun, three baby chicks, and a farmer riding a green tractor.

Kit includes 14-count white Aida fabric, cotton embroidery floss, floss separator, needle, chart and instructions.

With counted cross stitch, the design is not printed on the fabric. Stitches are placed by following a chart and then counting squares along the woven fabric.  Your completed birth announcement will look perfect displayed in baby's nursery!

The Barn Babies Bibs Kit is a baby bibs stamped cross stitch kit from Dimensions, featuring farm animal designs of a baby pig & baby cow.

Kit includes two ready-to-embroider quilted baby bibs, presorted cotton thread, needle, and instructions.

The cross stitch patterns are pre-stamped on the bibs in wash-away ink.  Baby bibs are an easy cross stitch kit for beginners to try.

Other Embroidery Supplies you'll need to complete your cross stitch kit include an embroidery hoop for holding your fabric taut while stitching and embroidery scissors for snipping threads.  An optional supply that I find useful is an embroidery needle threader.

Visit the Embroidery Kits section of the store for details on these kits and to see our complete selection of embroidery kits for baby, including stamped cross stitch kits and counted cross stitch kits.

Counted Cross Stitch Kits - Modern DIY Home Decor

If you're looking for some modern DIY home decor ideas, you won't want to miss our newest selection of counted cross stitch kits from Dimensions.  We're adding a variety of creative needlework projects to cover a range of skill levels, from Learn-A-Craft Kits for beginners to Gold Collection Kits for experienced cross stitchers.

You'll find them in the Counted Cross Stitch Kits section of the store!

The Live, Love, Laugh Counted Cross Stitch Kit features a lovely vintage rose inspired cross stitch design. Kit includes 18-count white cotton Aida, presorted cotton thread, needle, chart and instructions.



Live, Love, Laugh is a modern cross stitch design with romantic appeal.  Perfect for creating a beautiful anniversary or wedding keepsake to celebrate your special day or for handmade gift giving.

Note to beginners: Aida cloth refers to the cotton mesh fabric used for counted cross stitch.  The mesh forms small square openings in the fabric.  The count refers to the number of cross stitch squares per inch of fabric.  As the count number increases, the individual cross stitches get smaller.  While this increases the resolution or detail of the cross stitch design, it also increases the difficulty.  Kits with 18-count Aida fabric are recommended for experienced cross stitchers, while kits with 14-count Aida or lower are a good choice for beginners just getting started in counted cross stitch.

The Tuscan Sunflower Counted Cross Stitch Kit features a sunny Italian villa cross stitch design.

Kit includes 14-count natural cotton Aida, presorted cotton thread, needle, chart and instructions.

Display your finished needle art in a favorite family gathering area in your home or give as a creative housewarming gift for a friend!

Note to beginners: In counted cross stitch, the design is not printed on the foundation fabric as it is with stamped cross stitch. The Aida cloth used for counted cross stitch is a blank mesh fabric. Stitch placement is accomplished by translating a printed chart to the Aida fabric.  Stitchers read the chart and then count the squares in the fabric to determine the correct location for each stitch. Symbols are used on the chart to indicate thread color.

Counted Cross Stitch Kits for Beginners

The Sweet Home Learn-A-Craft Kit is an ideal embroidery starter kit for learning counted cross stitch.

Kit includes a 6-inch embroidery hoop, 14-count ivory cotton Aida, presorted cotton thread, needle, chart and instructions.

I love the Learn-A-Craft series of embroidery kits because they offer an affordable, low risk option for beginners to give a craft a try.

They provide everything a beginner needs to get started cross stitching.  And, when your needlework is finished, the hoop can be used as a creative frame for easy display.

Visit the Counted Cross Stitch Kits section for details on these kits and to see our complete selection of cross stitch kits for beginners and experienced stitchers.  This is a growing section of the store, so be sure to check back now and then for new product arrivals.

Weekend Kits offers a unique collection of Art & Craft Kits for adults, teens, and kids.  You'll find the very best selection of kits from well known brands as well as independent artists.  Stop by today and be ready to create handmade needle art on your next Weekend at Home!  Thanks for visiting the Weekend Kits blog.

Our newest selection of beginner embroidery kits use simple patterns & basic stitches, ideal for learning how to hand embroider.  You'll find them in the Embroidery Kits section of the store!

Simply Stitched - Hand Embroidery Kits

The Simply Stitched line of hand embroidery kits from Janlynn are perfect for beginners!  Each kit includes foundation fabric, embroidery floss, needle, and instructions.

There are 3 Simply Stitched embroidery designs featuring classic Winnie the Pooh characters, including Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore.

These delightful designs show us that sometimes simple is better.  The Pooh embroidery design would be perfect framed for baby's nursery or a young child's bedroom.

Simply Stitched - Hand Embroidery Kit - Tigger

The Simply Stitched designs are pre-printed on the fabric, so there's no need to worry about transferring patterns.  You'll be ready to start stitching right away!

If you've always wanted to learn how to cross stitch, these beginner counted cross stitch kits make it easy to give it a try.

The Lighthouse - Beginner Cross Stitch Kit includes a 6" round plastic hoop, 11-count white Aida fabric, embroidery floss, needle, and instructions.

The embroidery hoop is used to hold your fabric taut while stitching. You can also use the hoop to display your finished needleart. This is an ideal starter project for learning cross stitch.

You'll need a small pair of scissors for snipping threads. Many stitchers use a floss organizer to separate the floss colors and help keep them from getting tangled together.

The Noah - Beginner Cross Stitch Kit features a Noah's Ark theme with a smiling sun. Your completed needleart will be perfect for decorating baby's nursery! For a more formal appearance, you could finish with a coordinating mat & frame.

Unlike stamped cross stitch, in counted cross stitch, the fabric is not pre-printed with the design. You'll learn to use a color chart to determine where to place your stitches on the fabric. Symbols are used to show the location of each stitch as well as the corresponding thread color.

The embroidery floss is comprised of 6 individual strands of cotton thread that will need to be separated prior to use. The instructions provided in the kit will indicate the number of strands needed for stitching.

The Sunflowers Mini Counted Cross Stitch Kit from Bucilla is a cheerful cross stitch design adapted from original artwork. This kit includes 14-count white Aida fabric, embroidery floss, needle, chart, and instructions.

The foundation medium is called perforated 'paper', but it's more substantial than regular paper. The perforated holes in the stitching paper are termed '14-count', which means there will be 14 stitches per inch.

To ensure good coverage across the design, it's typical to use 3 strands of embroidery floss when stitching on perforated paper. Mill Hill cross stitch kits include a design chart with instructions specific to each design, including floss color placement and number of strands.

The Fall Leaves Beaded Stitch Kit is a new beaded cross stitch design from Mill Hill's autumn series collection. It features a beautiful collection of fall leaves, embellished with color coordinated glass beads and a ceramic acorn button.
