Garden Baby Boy
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Marie-Anne Rethoret-Melin

A lovely birth announcement sampler, to cross stitch for the arrival of a new baby boy.

At the top of the charts, two birds hold a clothesline with baby shoes, a bib, a rattle and various baby items. Below, framed in a wreath of flowers stands a little boy dressed in yellow flower petals.

The dominant colors used for cross stitch are blue, yellow, and green, evocative of a garden.

The chart features an alphabet and numbers in back stitch allowing you to customize the stitched piece with the baby's name and date of birth.

The format is almost square and lends itself to framing, or alternatively the stitched piece can be turned into the cover of an album baby's first pictures.

There is also a pink version of this design for baby girls.
