Hi, All
First, for anyone having any problems bringing up the freePatternWizard pattern creation software by using the top drop-down menu, feel free to Take This Link
Our showcase has been updated. If you've previously uploaded a showcase in the past, please check to see if it's been posted; meanwhile, if you want to submit one (or another one, if you've already posted before), feel free to do so!
Also note we now have an additional (optional) assembly page for the freePatternWizard. This is for larger pieces that have multiple pages. Much smaller patterns won't need this.
To freePatternWizard paid Premium subscribers having problems logging in:
If you're logged into your Stitchboard account (shows "Hi, name" in the upper right corner of each page), you can ignore the rest of this message.
If you're not logged into your Stitchboard account and you are a freePatternWizard paid Premium subscriber, please take this link one time to verify your subscription(s). It will also ask you to change your password. Again, you only need to do this once.
If you are not a paid Premium subscriber and are having problems logging in, try logging into the Stitchboard website. If you see an "Invalid login username or password" message, you may need to re-register at this link or by clicking the "Register" link at the top of the page. If you try re-registering and get a "duplicate email address" message, you'll need to go through the "password change" function by using this link.
To read a particular post, simply click on it!
Do you have a picture of the bed spread that you can post? Have you tried searching by image?
I can refer you to two sites I know offhand that might have what you're looking for, and both are free. There's the Antique Pattern Library (this link will bring you directly to the crochet category, but you can look at other categories, of course):

https://freevintagecrochet.com/
https://freevintagecrochet.com/index.php/afghans.html
I did a pretty intensive search for "cross," and found only two matches from the Free Vintage Crochet site, which weren't close to celtic crosses. I did find one sort-of match on the Antique Pattern Library site, which is from The Workbasket, 1947 for an altar cloth with crosses, so perhaps this is adjacent to what you're looking for, or could be reworked into a charted filet replica?

(The free downloadable PDF for this is in the upper left-hand corner, where it says PDF. You can also look in the book by clicking or tapping on the thumbnail images of any of the pages below the title and description, which will enlarge them, and you can see if this is what you want.)
While there were over 160 matches to "cross," most of them were cross stitch related.
Having personally done a lot of searching for older patterns, I know it's really hard to find anything specific that's vintage, as so much has been lost over the years, and especially from the 1920s and earlier, when apparently no one thought to archive anything.
And another thought that occurs is your
Grandmother freehanded it, as a lot of women back then probably
did.
(Love your pic!)Hello! My name is Helen and I'm new to the Stitchboard community. I used the freePatternWizard to design my graphgan pattern (numbers and words) today. Totaly amazing! Now how many chains are needed to start my project of 150 wide x 125 high single crochet? I want to make sure so that I don't start with the wrong number. Many thanks.
Hi Gina! I love your heart! Prayers for your recovery! Good for you for finding something to do that continues to help others! Sue in sunny Sequim, WA
