Designer Spotlight: LilyMae Stitching

April 26, 2025 by Sarah White

If you are looking for adorable cross stitch patterns for a baby or little one’s room, LilyMae Stitching on Etsy is a great place to start. From adorable animal alphabets (in regular and mini sizes!) to sweet little animals and a whole section just called “happy little patterns” (they are!), there is just so much cuteness in store.

Since I do love the happy little patterns, let’s take a closer look at this happy little blue balloon pattern. The design includes only full cross stitches and measures 61 by 95 stitches. On 14 count fabric that comes out to 4.375 by 6.75 inches, or 11.1 by 17.2 cm. It uses six colors, and despite being labelled a blue balloon it could absolutely be a pink, purple, green or any other color balloon that you would like it to be.

In addition to all the baby and little-kid-centric designs, there are a handful of Christmas cross stitch patterns (some religious, some not) and some sort of abstract, boho landscape designs.

There are also a few motivational quotes if that’s your thing.

But really a lot of the patterns are animals made into letter shapes, so if that’s a thing you’d like for a baby’s or kid’s room, definitely check those out. My kiddo’s name would be alligators and narwhals, which are pretty cute. You could also do initials if you don’t want to do a full name, or stitch the whole alphabet if you want to get really into it. You can buy the whole set as one bundle, or just buy the letters you need individually.

Check out all the cuteness at LilyMae Stitching.

Fancy Pumpkin Cross Stitch Patterns

If you’re ready to move beyond basic, solid orange pumpkins, check out these pumpkin cross stitch patterns that are just a little bit fancier with some kind of pattern on the pumpkin. 

Keep it simple and rustic with this plaid pumpkin form Cross Stitch with Art. You can make the plaid whatever colors you want to match your decor, or keep with the Halloween color palette. It uses three colors and comes out to about 6 inches/15.24 cm square when you stitch it on 14 count fabric. 

Mamaida Pattern has this cute pumpkin with a vine in the negative space. Since that portion isn’t actually stitched (though you could make it green if you like) that makes this pattern pretty easy. It uses just two colors and measures 108 by 110 stitches. That’s about 7.7 by 7.9 inches or 19.6 by 20 cm on 14 count fabric. 

Speaking of negative space, this design by Tinsel Cross Stitch blows out the pumpkin a bit so the ridges are negative space and the colors here too have kind of a vineing effect. This design is 98 by 113 stitches and uses three colors. It measures 7 by a little more than 8 inches, or 17.78 by 20.5 cm on 14 count fabric.

Get even more detailed with the carving effect on this pumpkin cross stitch pattern from Anemone Patterns. This one is 85 by 83 stitches, which comes out to 6.1 by 5.9 inches (15.4 by 15.1 cm).

In a similar vein but a different color, there’s this pretty green pumpkin from Crystal Feather Crafts. Of course you could make it any color you like, but I always like to remind people that even in nature not all pumpkins are orange. This design measures 101 by 93 stitches, which is 7.2 by 6.6 inches/18.3 by 16.9 cm. 

And speaking of color, if you want to stitch a pumpkin with boho vibes, this one from Stitch Craft Creatives is probably the one for you. At 200 stitches square, it comes out to 14.4 inches or 36.3 cm square on 14 count fabric. It uses 14 colors for a very vibrant pumpkin!
