Release 2021
Cross stitch pattern from Heartstring Samplery featuring four festive designs!
Note from the designer:
As we were approaching the Christmas season of 2020, the oncoming pandemic Winter seemed to loom endlessly, and I found myself desperately clinging to only the most over-the-top, cheerful, and brazenly optimistic of carols playing on the radio. Historically one to gravitate toward peace and calm during what's usually a chaotic season, I just needed the extra EXTRA of those songs. I created this pincushion set out of the most cheerful and sparkly threads possible, depicting some of my favorite Winter birds doing some of the most iconic of holiday activities, and found myself soothed and delighted all season as I placed my stitches. An English Robin with a wagon full of Holly, a Nuthatch bedecking a garland with Tinsel, a Chickadee filling a Stocking with wonderful things, and a Woodpecker slicing up some delicious-looking Fruitcake. I hope you find these designs equally cheering as you fill your heart and home with festive trimmings. Hold onto the sparkle and joy, my friends; even on the darkest day of the year, hope is beckoning!
