Cross-Stitch Birth Sampler Ideas for Girls and Boys

A birth sampler is an embroidery that records a baby's date of birth, weight, and height. It can also include the child's name, and sometimes the family name, together with a small picture.

Birth samplers for girls

For a girl's sampler, teddy bears, bunnies, and dolls are popular motifs. There are many ready-made charts online; here are a few examples.

Birth samplers for boys

Teddy bears, horses, stacking rings, and toy trains are just some motifs that work well for a boy's sampler. Here are a few ideas.

You do not have to use one chart exactly as it is. You can combine elements from several designs or create your own arrangement. Have you made a birth sampler? Share your ideas.
