Collection: Nashville Needlework Market 2026
Item: TPP-071
Type: Cross Stitch Patterns

It was stitched in a quiet house where words were scarce and time moved slowly, measured not in hours but in repetitions-the return of spring, the fading of color, the steady hum of afternoons. Each letter was sewn not to teach language, but to hold it still, the way you might press flowers between pages so they wouldn't forget their shape.

The butterflies appear twice, as if unsure whether to arrive or depart. They were stitched for a child who liked to ask questions no one answered directly. The flowers were added later, after loss had already taught the house how to be careful. Their symmetry is deliberate: nothing here is accidental, not even beauty.

Pattern stitched on 20 count fabric with DMC floss. The stitch count is 201 x 302 and the finished size is 10.03" x 15.12".
