Our 2024 cross stitch pattern for Make-A-Wish is a dream come true! The Moonbeams Cross Stitch designed by Fat Quarter Shop explores an enchanting nightscape featuring nocturnal birds and blooms, just like the quilt. We invite you to stitch along with us from March to July, 2024, and can’t wait to start this stitch along with you soon!
Our Moonbeams Quilt and Cross Stitch Pattern benefit Make-a-Wish Central & South Texas. As we fly closer to the start of our 5th Annual Charity Cross Stitch Along, we continue to be amazed by the generosity of this community of stitchers and inspired by the stories of the children who have been granted life-changing Wishes.
Fat Quarter Shop is happy to be partnering with Moda Fabrics to match up to $30,000 in donations for this worthy cause.
The fundraiser works by offering the Moonbeams cross stitch patterns as FREE downloads during the event for a suggested donation of $20 each to our Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas campaign. No amount is too small, and every bit counts. From March to July, we will publish a new piece of the cross stitch pattern here on the blog on the first Friday of each month.

Cross Stitch Supplies
Your stitches will take flight across this beaming cross stitch design that matches the 2024 Moonbeams Charity Quilt. It has a stitch count of 104w x 104h and finishes as a 7.5″ square on 14 count aida.
We made our Moonbeams cross stitch with:
- Moonbeams Classic Colorworks Thread Pack & Floss Box
- Navy 14 Count Aida by Wichelt
- Cross stitch was finished with Strawberry Lemonade by Sherri & Chelsi for Moda Fabrics on the Gray Wooden Primrose Cross Stitch Display
- We are loving the Limited Edition Moonbeams Enamel Needle Minder
If you’re planning on stitching with something different, download the cross stitch supply list once it’s available to make this year’s charity cross stitch. We’ll share the cross stitch supply list and quilt fabric requirements when we reach our first fundraising milestone of $20,000.
