British Wildlife cross stitch patterns

These four wildlife cross stitch charts have been re-released as downloads only. No need to wait for the postman to pop a parcel through the letter box; purchase now and download immediately. Of course, in addition to the convenience, you will also save money by not having to pay any postage charges.

Each design features a family of animals in their natural environment. Nothing in nature is neatly enclosed in boxes and to reflect this I have allowed part of each design to "break out" beyond the edge of the design.

No fractional stitches are used in the badgers, heron or foxes designs. However, there is a fractional stitch in the stag's eye, to give it shape. Check my instructions for fractional stitches if you haven't tried them before, they are not as frightening as you may think!

Badger Family

This mother badger is introducing her cubs to the world outside their set.

On the occasions I have seen badgers, it has been just before the daylight disappears and night draws in, when they are setting off to hunt.

We have a number of badger sets locally - the closest is just a short walk from our home.

Approx. Design size: 8.5 x 6.5 inches

Fallow Deer Family

Fallow deer fawns are born with a spotted coat. Their spots, however, do not fade as in other deer species, but stay with them into adulthood.

Getting a glimpse of them is rare, unless they belong to the owners of a large estate.

Approx. design size: 5 x 5.5 inches

Red Fox family

We have one that regularly visits our garden and leaves "evidence" behind, that our dogs insist on rolling in!

Approx. design size: 6.75 x 5.75 inches

Heron

This wildlife cross stitch design was based on a photo I took of a real heron.
