Patient Stitcher
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Tempting Tangles

In the designer's own words, Deborah A. Dick of Tempting Tangles wanted to recreate a "variegated border reminiscent of an English Flower Garden puzzle." The piece (pictured) was cross stitched using Gloriana silk & Florimell, overdyed threads evocative of those garden colors and summery tones. There is an alternative colorway suggested using Dinky Dyes Silk in cooler, blue/purple/rose colors.

The text comes against a background motif of medallion motifs intricately entwined. 

The saying goes:

Stitching doesn't take patience, it teaches patience.
