New Release: Faith: Hebrews 11:1 KJV Bible Verse Cross Stitch Pattern


 

This isn't exactly a bluebird, but the colors remind me of the bluebirds we had at the feeders this morning. Each year we get at least one birdhouse with bluebirds, which is wonderful!

This pattern is called Faith: Hebrews 11:1. The idea behind the bird and nest of eggs was that the birds attend the nest, with faith that the eggs will hatch. They are believing as fact, something that is yet to happen... sort of like our faith in the things of God... we have faith that God will accomplish the things He promises to His children.

The Friends: Proverbs 17:17 pattern is very similar to this one... you can find it here...

Information about this pattern: 
Faith: Hebrews 11:1
Pattern #2014-E
Design Stitch Count: 86w x 58h
Design Measurement:
6.14″w x 4.14″h on 14-count aida
5.38″w x 3.63″h on 16-count aida

New Release: Beekeeping Crows Cross Stitch Pattern

 


This time of year, we have several crows in the yard (I can hear them outside while I write this). They disappear for awhile in late summer, then come back for the fall. I enjoy watching them... they've got a lot of personality! 

The Beekeeping Crows is a set of 3 patterns that have crows, sunflowers and bees... a beautiful stitch for this time of year.

Pigeons and Strawberries Cross Stitch Pattern

 


We have a flock of pigeons that I see sometimes when I head toward town... it made me think of this pattern from a few months ago... 

The Pigeons and Strawberries design has a pair of adorable pigeons surrounded by strawberries, little white flowers, and hearts. The stitch count on this is 87w x 59h, so it's not a huge project. This was the first pigeon design I did, and I hope to do some more. We have been getting a pigeon loft ready for next spring...

October Cat Cross Stitch Pattern by Happiness Is HeartMade




are out on the Happiness Is HeartMade website...

Pumpkin Spice can be a controversial topic...  
but I'm glad that it's Pumpkin Spice season... 
I love all the warm spices that go with it 
(cinnamon is one of my favorites!). 
Autumn is my favorite time of year, 
so this pattern was an enjoyable one to work on
(well, they're all enjoyable (almost!), 
but this one a little bit more).

I hope you enjoy stitching the October designs... 
they are full of warm and wonderful autumn-y things… 
pumpkins, acorns, a crow, and autumn-colored leaves.

Don't forget to check out the other 
autumn-themed designs on the website...
the Acorn Alphabet Sampler, and more!

You can find all the autumn patterns here.
