Give Thanks Cross Stitch Pattern

Hello Stitchers! 

Once again, it has been a couple of months since I last updated the website/blog, but if you have been following along with me on Instagram or Facebook you will know that this week I released the pattern I have been working on for... well, most of the year! I am excited to introduce my late summer/autumn inspired design 'Give Thanks'.

The phrase 'Give Thanks' is a sentiment that means a lot to me and is something I try to remind myself to do on a daily basis. For this design, I knew I wanted to stitch a floral garland with a prominent sunflower and the colours I chose seemed to lead me in the direction of an autumn harvest theme, with lots of red, orange, gold and brown threads used. Also, I could not resist including another little monarch butterfly to the design, as well - it was such a popular addition to my 'Summer Garland' pattern that it deserved to be featured again!

'Give Thanks' has been flying off the virtual shelves in my Etsy shop over the past couple of days and for a limited time, you can purchase the PDF at the special introductory price of just US$4.50. The design is quite large and fits perfectly in a 10"/25cm embroidery hoop for framing. With the autumn months just around the corner here in the Northern Hemisphere, it would be the perfect design to stich as part of your fall decor this year, and especially for the celebration of Thanksgiving! :o)

Happy stitching!
