Scroll down to see all Victoria Sampler FREE Creative Cross Stitch patterns. 

Each month, we showcase a new free counted cross stitch pattern that reflects the current season or a chosen theme. During 2026, our theme is Monthly Christmas Ornaments. These creative patterns are designed to provide an enriching and enjoyable crafting experience for stitchers at every level. Find a bit of linen, and enjoy creating each design with beads, and your own colors of floss, metallic or silk that you choose from your stash. 

 To celebrate the release of my cozy mystery novel "Embroidered Evidence" (now available on Amazon), I’ve created an "Embroidered Ladybug" free pattern for Victoria Sampler stitchers. The Embroidered Ladybug is a quick and cheerful project that can be finished in an evening. Stitch it as a tiny framed piece, a scissor fob, or add it to a pincushion or project bag! Ladybugs have long been considered symbols of good luck and protection in gardens. It seemed the perfect tiny companion for a story where certain cross stitched clues appear in the most unexpected places.
