About

Simone Balman is a cross stitch pattern designer dedicated to creating modern, thoughtfully designed patterns that are both enjoyable to stitch and beautiful to display. Her work combines a love of detail, balance, and clarity, resulting in patterns that stitchers can approach with confidence and satisfaction.

Simone began designing cross stitch patterns to create pieces that she could not find elsewhere — patterns that were visually striking, carefully constructed, and a pleasure to work on from start to finish. Her designs draw inspiration from architecture, travel, nature, historical art, and decorative design, bringing together traditional cross stitch techniques with a contemporary aesthetic.

Each pattern is carefully developed with readability and stitchability in mind. Clear charts, well-balanced color palettes, and thoughtful layouts ensure that stitchers can focus on the creative process and enjoy every stage of their project. Whether working from a digital download or a printed pattern book, Simone’s goal is to provide patterns that are reliable, enjoyable, and rewarding to complete.

Simone’s patterns are enjoyed by stitchers around the world and are available as digital downloads and professionally printed pattern books. In addition to individual designs, she also creates coordinated collections and reference resources to support stitchers in their craft.

Through Simone Balman Cross Stitch, she continues to expand her collection of modern cross stitch patterns designed to inspire creativity and provide a satisfying stitching experience.
