I’m so excited to share my new Mourning Sampler cross stitch pattern, now available for Patreon members.🌿

Inspired by traditional mourning samplers of the early 19th century, this piece is perfect for memorializing a special person or pet. You’ll find classic correspondences (including a willow tree for immortality, roses for sorrow and devotion, and a headstone angel—classic Appalachian funerary art) as well as customization options to make this design truly your own (swipe for a preview). 

Please note that this pattern is only available for August members. As always, you’re welcome to subscribe and unsubscribe at any time, however, exclusive charts will be retired on the last day of the month and unavailable for future download. 

I’m already working on my next release for fall and it’s giving the perfect eerie vibe. I’m also looking forward to sharing cross stitch basics for anyone who’s interested in learning my favorite form of knot magic in the next few weeks. 

(If you’re not familiar with my Patreon, aside from members-only pattern releases, I share additional projects and articles inspired by the folk tradition. For more information, please visit the link in my bio.)

Happy lammas!🌾
