Celebrate the Graduate with Cross Stitch

I have attended so many graduation ceremonies over the years. My participation in them includes my eighth grade graduation, high school, and college.

My niece will be graduating from sixth grade soon - her high school starts with seventh grade. I can't believe the little baby I used to hold and burp (and clean up spit up after) is now getting ready to go into high school! Where do the years go?

The free Graduation Motifs Collection is perfect for quick Cross Stitch momentoes for graduates. Make a card, a small pin, or a bookmark.

For other gift ideas, visit the free pattern index to find a pattern that reflects the interests of your graduate. A small framed design may become a life-long treasure. I still have a framed crocheted doily my Grandmother Garmon gave me for my college graduation.
