Busy Hands Happy Heart Cross Stitch Pattern by Liz Mathews

Stylized monochromatic florals are the feature in both of these statement finishes. The more traditional framed piece is worked on beautifully mottled fabric. The pillow features only the floral portion of the pattern and was stitched on low count fabric before using traditional pillow finishing techniques to create a unique home decor piece. The same pattern is used to complete both options.

The framed piece is stitched on 36 count Earl Grey linen from Grace Note Fabrics with NPI floss. The stitch count is 179 x 170 and the finished size is 9.94" x 9.44".

Finished as a pillow, it is stitched on 20 ct Kudzu linen from Weeks Dye Works with DMC floss. The stitch count is 189 x 78 and the finished size is 18.9" x 7.8".
