Song of Praise, Trusting Heart Counted Cross Stitch LeafletJoin Donnett for Today's Spotlight Video Featuring Song of Praise – Trusting Heart & The Garden by Cross N Patch.
Song of Praise – Trusting Heart (Cross-Stitch)
Originally published in 1988 this Wedding / Anniversary sampler is “vintage” elegance. With the couple under the flowering arbor along with the beautiful topiary’s and picket fence complete this beautiful image. Add the phrase “The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her.” Personalize with the couples initials, wedding date or even their last name. Jazzing this pattern up is as easy as stitching with hand-dyed floss on hand-dyed linen. Trusting Heart also available in a Kit.
Whether we surround ourselves with the beauty of the garden or with beauty created with needle artistry, our palettes are full and our choices endless. Gardens as well as needlework are full of texture, color, form and dimension. Whether we choose to plant ans antique rose or a daisy, whether we choose a stitch combination found on an antique sampler or use a recent technique, we share our love of beauty with others who have made those same choices.
This design combines a garden full of colorful cross stitch with over 70 richly textured needlework techniques. The cover and the chart are both oversized. Each step and each stitch are fully illustrated and explained. The full color back and inside front cover picture additional projects using other fabric choices and changes in the size.
Originally published 1998 patterns included are The Herb Garden
