Three years ago I had a difficult time finding information about Classic Pooh counted cross stitch patterns.

When I found Susan's Classic Pooh Cross Stitch Resource Page, I was so pleased; it was exactly what I was looking for.  It is a great resource. (I found that website through the Friends of Pooh webring.)

If you're looking for Classic Pooh Counted Cross Stitch, I suggest that you visit Susan's Classic Pooh Cross Stitch Resource Page.

I've come across a lot of websites that carry Disney Pooh Coutned Cross Stitch, so I decided to list what I've found.  As you will see, the list below that I've prepared includes websites that carry both Classic Pooh and Disney Pooh kits and charts, as well as some that offer free charts.

A little background regarding my search for Classic Pooh counted cross stitch patterns:

I started looking for Classic Pooh counted cross stitch patterns in June 1998, when my niece asked me if I knew where to find Classic Pooh counted cross stitch patterns. She was married October 1998. I knew that their plans included having children and that she wanted at least one Classic Pooh counted cross stitch for the wall of her future baby's room. I made them Christopher Robin and Pooh prepare to discover the North Pole for Christmas 1999 (from the book titled StoryBook Favorites in Cross Stitch by Gillian Souter published by Dutton Children's Books.  ISBN: 0525456139.) I was lucky enough to buy the book before it went out of print.  See below for info about the patterns in this book. 

She and her husband had a wonderful baby boy on May 11, 2000, and the finished project will look wonderful in his room in their new home ( I've asked her to send me a picture of the finished project so I can scan it and put a copy on this webpage.)

I hope you find this information helpful to you. If you do, I'd love to hear from you. Please send me an e-mail.

StoryBook Favorites in Cross Stitch by Gillian Souter published by Dutton Children's Books (ISBN: 0525456139). It's a hardback book with 3 Classic Pooh charts, as well as charts of Beatrix Potter, Paddington Bear and various others.  In 1998 I ordered this book for my niece from Amazon and received it within a few days. (The local bookstores would have taken weeks to get it in stock.) However, as of June 2000, this book is currently out of stock at Amazon (see comments below).   I haven't been able to find the book anywhere, not even at websites or stores that carry out of print books. You may want to check your local library to see if they have a copy you can borrow. The three Classic Pooh patterns the book contains are: Autograph Book (with small picture of Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit, Owl and Piglet with their signatures). Christopher Robin and Pooh prepare to discover the North Pole, with Christopher Robin putting on black boots (see image #2 below). Pooh and Piglet walking toward sunset  (see image #3 below). #2 #3 As mentioned above, I made Christopher Robin and Pooh prepare to discover the North Pole (#2) for my niece and her husband as a Christmas gift. It came out wonderfully. My only criticism about the chart:  there were a LOT of what I call 1/4 and 3/4 stitches, which made it a real challenge. But it was worth the extra effort, because there are no sharp edges in the finished item. In January 2000 I discovered that the book is out of print. I checked Amazon's page about the book and they state: "THIS TITLE IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE. The publisher is out of stock. If you would like to purchase this title, we recommend that you occasionally check this page to see if it's been reprinted." Hopefully they will carry it again soon -- keep checking their site periodically if you want the book. Or, as indicated above, you may want to check your local library to see if they have a copy you can borrow.
