Busy Hands Happy Heart - Hello From Liz Mathews - Cross Stitch Pattern [Nashville 2026]

I hope this pattern inspires many busy hands and happy hearts!

 

Stylized monochromatic florals are the feature in both of these statement finishes.  The more traditional framed piece is worked on beautifully mottled fabric and finished in a prefabricated frame ordered from Amazon (linked in my storefront). The pillow features only the floral portion of the pattern and was stitched on low count fabric before using traditional pillow finishing techniques to create a unique home décor piece. The same pattern is used to complete both options.
