This listing is for the purchase of a digital download—no paper pattern will be mailed. Within the .zip file (which will be sent via email upon purchase), you’ll find a full, easy-to-read pattern, a supplies and info page, and a customizations page. Please note that the link will expire after 24 hours.

Inspired by traditional mourning samplers, the pattern includes correspondences that you can personalize using a loved one's initials and your favorite figure on the urn (see photos for a preview!). It can also serve as a lovely memorial to a pet.

Within the sampler, you'll also find historical symbolism, including a headstone angel—traditional funerary art that portrays the deceased being carried to the afterlife.

The model is stitched on 40 ct Old Sheep linen by xJuDesign using one strand of DMC over 2 threads. The stitch count is 90 wide x 108 high.

This pattern was released as an exclusive gift for August 2022 members of my folk witch Patreon. For more seasonal projects that incorporate elements of folklore, symbology, and magical correspondences, please visit my Patreon page at patreon.com/gritchenwitch.

You can also find me on Instagram @gritchenwitch and at gritchenwitch.com, where I share the magical customs, superstitions, and lore of Appalachia as well as original spellwork and rituals inspired by hearthcraft and the Wheel of the Year.
