Spring the season of soft colors, and this quick-to-stitch design features classic pastel favorites. This .PDF pattern features flowers, a birdhouse, hearts, and butterflies in flight. Pastel pinks, greens, cream, and shades of brown make up the palette. The text says "Spring," and a tulip replaces the letter I. PATTERN DETAILS: The model was stitched on 32 ct. Antique White lugana (Zweigart). The stitch count is 100w x 44h, and the finished design measures approximately 6 1/8"w x 2 3/4"h when stitched on that fabric. The pattern calls for whole stitches only. (Whole stitches = beginner friendly and Aida friendly!) The model was stitched with DMC and Weeks Dye Works floss, and a DMC equivalent is provided for the specialty fibers. The pattern includes both a black/white symbol page as well as a color page, so you can choose to stitch from the format that works best for you. TIP: The soft shades on this design will blend with beige fabric, so I recommend using white fabric if you are planning on using the called-for colors.

The button in the centerpiece is a 3/4" green button from my stash. The materials listed above are unique to this piece. The foundational supplies (the board, glue, batting, etc.--stuff you can't see) are the same no matter what I am finishing, so I buy those in bulk and keep them on hand.

Tis the season for Sleigh Bells! Growing up, there was never a Christmas without bells. My grandpa used to come to our house late on Christmas Eve, armed with his own personal set of sleigh bells. Hiding in the shadows, he would jingle his way around the house and the yard, sending all the kids scurrying to their beds. I think my parents had the entire cul-de-sac in on the shenanigans; sometimes the bells would circle a few extra houses up and down the street for good measure. "Santa" would disappear if we looked outside, so we never dared peek. It was pure Christmas magic. My grandpa is gone now, but these bells were made for him :).

RECREATE THE LOOK: Finish Fabric: Both the red and green finish fabric used on the model are ancient and came from my stash, so there is no SKU. (Sorry!) I can tell you the green originally came from Hobby Lobby as a seasonal print. The colors on the model are pretty true Christmas Red and Christmas Green, so hopefully that makes finding your own coordinating fabric a little easier. I think red and white ticking or a red with white scattered dot would be a great alternative as a finish fabric on this one. Cording: I used pre-made white twisted cord on this piece. It's 3/16 wide and is from Merchant 41 (Hobby Lobby). The SKU is 829341. Bow: The base bow was made from a 1.5", white, wire-edge, royal-burlap ribbon from 5thStreetStudio on Etsy.

The red/white check ribbon is by the Ribbon Boutique (Hobby Lobby) and the SKU is 488924. The emerald green ribbon is also from The Ribbon Boutique (Hobby Lobby) and the SKU is 170910. The button in the centerpiece is a 7/8" natural brown wooden button that came out of my stash. No SKU on this one either. (Sorry!) One more time, here it is. Hope you enjoy!
