This is the Little House Needlework's monthly series. I had intentions of stitching one a month but then a job happened. I intend on finishing this to sit within the tablescape on my dining room table. You might be surprised how such a small, simple looking design can be so complicated. I thought that I was good at counting but was humbled time and again by the counting, especially on the snowflake in the upper right. But I adore the cardinals.
Pray More is a free design that was offered by Lizzie Kate. I used the Olde Willow Threads which are no longer available. I have a drawer full of them and I love the vintage or primitive shading of them. I have stitched this to go into an adorable tray which will be further cute-ified with some vintage print fabric for a backing and bow and a spray of sweet artificial spring flowers. It is a labor of love for my best friend Leslie. The best thing about the design is it would look lovely in any choice of colors.
So that is it for now. This weekend is forecast to be splendid and my tentative plans are to spend the entire weekend in the sun room stitching up a storm. Leslie may join me via Skpe (she lives in Scotland). Until next time, may God keep you safe, filled with peace and stitching with joy! Sandi Jo
