Bird Cross Stitch Patterns by Jaymi Heimbuch

Modern bird cross stitch patterns drawn by artist Jaymi Heimbuch. Every design is sold as a clean two-file download, no twelve confusing variations to sort through.

What every pattern includes

  • One Pattern Keeper file for the Pattern Keeper iOS or Android app. Mark stitches as you go, zoom in, switch between color and symbol view, sync progress across devices.
  • One color print chart PDF at a generous 30 by 40 grid layout. Larger cells mean larger symbols, so the chart stays readable while you stitch. Prints clean on letter or A4 paper.
  • DMC floss color list with stitch counts
  • Finished size guide for 14, 16, and 18 count Aida

Why two files instead of twelve

Older Etsy pattern shops bundle a dozen file variations to feel like a better deal. Pattern Keeper makes most of that redundant. The app already handles count switching, color view, symbol view, zoom, and progress tracking on a single source file. The print chart is for stitchers who prefer paper. Two clear files cover both workflows without making you guess which one you need.

Pattern Keeper compatible across the line

If you have not used Pattern Keeper before, it is the standard way modern stitchers track progress on digital patterns. One-time purchase, runs on most phones and tablets. Every BWB cross stitch pattern opens directly in it.

Sizes and skill level

Designs are sized for a 6 to 7 inch hoop. Full-stitch only, no partial stitches or back-stitching, beginner to intermediate friendly. The Pattern Keeper file makes the finished size adjustable: stitch the same pattern smaller on 18 count Aida or larger on 14 count without downloading a different file.

FAQs

Each pattern is an instant download with two files: a Pattern Keeper file that opens in the Pattern Keeper app for stitch tracking, color and symbol view, and zoom, plus a printable color chart PDF on a 30 by 40 grid for stitchers who prefer paper. Both include a DMC floss color list and a finished size guide for 14, 16, and 18 count Aida.

All skill levels, from beginner to intermediate. Designs are full-stitch only, no partial stitches or back-stitching. The charts are clear with a complete DMC color list, so if you can follow a grid and count stitches, you can complete these patterns.

You will need Aida fabric in your preferred count (14, 16, or 18), DMC stranded embroidery floss in the colors listed, a tapestry needle, and an embroidery hoop or frame. The Pattern Keeper app runs on most phones and tablets if you want to stitch from your device, or you can print the included PDF chart.

Yes! Once you purchase, the PDF is yours to print as many times as you like. Print a fresh copy any time you want to start a new project.
