HELP! Winnie the Pooh cross stitch pattern needed!


EDITED TO ADD March 8th 2017:  Thank you for visiting my blog and this long ago entry. Please note though that I sadly never found the pattern to purchase or anyone to loan me their copy (and it's too late now for me to make it for my nephew).  Wishing you all good luck if you are also wanting to find this long out-of-print and extremely hard to find chart. Rather than posting here about your desire to find the chart, please post your desire on your Instagram account, which has an audience far and wide and also try asking on embroidery groups on Facebook. Happy hunting and I hope you'll soon be stitching! 


Hellooooo! Crazed soon-to-be-an-Auntie, on a mission! My niece is decorating her nursery in Classic Winnie the Pooh and I sooooooooooooo want to make this birth sampler for her as a gift. It was a kit made by Anchor and is no longer available - at first it looked like I could get it from the UK but it's not available there either. WAH!!!  sniffle sniffle

Does anyone possibly have the chart (I don't need the kit, just the chart) and would be willing to lend it to me, thereby making me immensely happy (and very bouncy, like Tigger) and eternally grateful and less likely to go bonkers???

Thank you bunches for listening to my whining and any help you can give!

Wish I had some Elevenses, as Pooh would say, a scone and some tea would be delightful ... TGIF!

    1. Hi Viv! Oh my old rumpus is stuck to my chair! I've sat on the computer for hours, hunting for this one or another one but no luck yet! I think I've found every Winnie the Pooh cross stitch pattern in existence, except for the one I want. BOO HOO sniffle sniffle WAH! Thank you for the good luck wishes xoxo

  2. Hi did you ever find this pattern?
    Or any other vintage pooh patterns?
    It looks like they made a ton and discontinued them a few years ago :(
    Please let me know when you have a moment.

    1. Hi Sarah, the pattern has been out of print for several years at least - I assume the others are too. I never found it for sale on eBay or Etsy and no one ever offered to loan me theirs. It's so darling, it would have been perfect. Oh well! Good luck to you if you are also searching for it!

  3. I know it has been a while, but are you still interested in this pattern? It took quite some time, but I was able to re-create it fairly close and would be willing to share it.

    1. Thank you that's very kind of you to let me know. My gosh what a lot of work that must have been! It's too late for my nephew and I also realized it's too big a project for me (after pooping out midway on another). Thanks again! Happy Stitching!

    1. Hello Cindy, If you're thinking this is a place to request patterns, I'm so very sorry but it sure isn't. If you'll read the original post and subsequent comments, I wanted to borrow the pattern to make for my nephew. That's it I'm afraid, end of story. Good luck on your search for it!

    2. Hi again Cindy, I'm so sorry, I reread my reply to you and I didn't realize how cranky it sounded. So sorry! One should never respond to comments when their mother-in-law is in the hospital and life is crazy and topsy turvy and so worrisome. A thousand apologies. Hope you find the chart, it's so darling!
