I just love pretty floral stencils! Today’s design from Concord & 9th is such a charming one called Garden Path Bundle which incorporates both the stencil and coordinating sentiments that fit in the “pathway”. It is all things Spring and beautiful, so I had to go with a pretty Spring palette of soft corals and soft blue greens together. So delightful! &ChristineCreationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17735373707840888457noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73649088400914139.post-37647330953081219832024-03-24T20:00:00.005-06:002024-03-24T20:00:00.128-06:00Primrose Garden with Concord & 9thHello!

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve done any stitching and I was missing it a bit, so I pulled out an old pattern from the web and revamped it a bit for the size of my die. I have learned that I am not actually a good cross-stitcher, in that I’m terrible at following the pattern 100%!
