Cherry Blossom Cushion
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Faby Reilly Designs

This cross stitch pattern is very detailed, with delicate flower petals varying from pink to white, pistils embellished with pearls. The birds also have a pretty crest of feathers on their heads. A butterfly flies in the wind.

Like all Faby Reilly needlework patterns, this design includes embellishments such as the mother of pearl sequins evocative of petals flying away in the light breeze. The embroidery incorporates one DMC Variations thread as well as golden metallic thread used for the ball ornament hanging from the tree.

The cross stitch pattern includes a comprehensive tutorial with explanations for beads and all special stitches, as well as instructions for mounting the cushion.

A tutorial is included with the chart for all specialty stitches.
