2020 Spring SAL: Easter Wishes Cross Stitch Pattern

$18.00 USD

Welcome to our 2020 Easter Stitch-A-Long! This 3-Part Series features fresh spring designs, including bunnies, chicks, sheep, flowers, and large, bright Easter greetings.

This design can be stitched together as one large Spring Sampler, but if you prefer to try a different finish, each section of this design can also be stitched and finished into a Stackable Drum. There are 3 bonus circle designs (to use as the top of the drums) included with each of the 3 section releases, along with finishing instructions to make up the drums. See the sneak peek photo!

The price is a one-time fee, and includes the entire design and 3 bonus circle designs, over 3 monthly section releases. You will receive an email with each new release according to the schedule below.
