My latest Flosstube video (number 176) is now up, taking viewers through what I’ve been stitching in Feb 2024. I also talk about this website, now a few of you have been downloading my free cross-stitch patterns and hopefully at some point starting your own projects with them! You can see me show my progress on Keeping Warm, available right here for free.

As you can see. I’m showing off my progress on one of the patterns available on this website.

Are These Cross-Stitch Patterns Really Free?

Nikki B — Mon, 04 Mar 2024 09:19:42 +0000

So we’ve had some people question if we really are giving away our cross-stitch patterns, which we do understand. We’ve seen many ‘free’ games turn into micro-transaction money pits, and also other ‘free’ offers turn into a scheme where you have to join a club, and then the club has a subscription after a while etc.

Well at heart Nikki is a stitcher and has been sewing cross-stitch projects for most of her adult life. She’s finished an amazing amount of full coverage pieces, including some from Heaven and Earth Designs and GeckoRouge, which both are amazing places to buy kits from! Buying kits from companies like those who support artists by licensing their artwork is 100% the way to go. You can see more of Nikki’s finishes on her old craft blog website here.

We can give away Nikki’s designs as the artwork is ours, so we don’t have anyone else to pay. Nikki’s hubby Kristian is a bit of a web whizz, so creating this site is just a hobby too. Therefore we just pay for the hosting, and if people donate towards that, that is great, but not required.

So yeah, you shouldn’t feel any guilt at downloading our cross-stitch patterns at all – they are free, and we are happy for you to share links to the site, share the patterns, and just enjoy stitching them!

Just don’t ask for a ‘refund’… we’re not sure how you do that on freebie?! 😀

Keeping Warm Cross-Stitch WIP

We thought it would make a lot of sense to keep you updated on Nikki’s own progress on one of her patterns, to show you what they look like as they stitch-up. One of the first patterns we created was the one she’s picked, Keeping Warm, a lovely pastel-shaded picture of a bear in winter, keep warming with his many woolen scarves. Nikki is also an experienced knitter so this one really hit the spot. You can download this cross-stitch pattern PDF here – like all our patterns it’s free, and works with Pattern Keeper app.
