Easter Stitching – and Good Friday!

Hello beautiful friends! It’s Good Friday and it’s a very special day. Sending you good wishes on this blessed and holy day today. I am very happy that my husband and I will be going to church tonight. I missed it so much last year. It never really felt like Easter since we couldn’t do any activities. I’m so grateful that things are starting to return to normal and we can worship. I’m wishing you and your family a beautiful Easter weekend.

I thought I would share my Easter cross stitch project with you today and a bit of home decor…. I have the stitching piece on our coffee table in the living room along with some other Easter pretties.  I finished this piece on Tuesday and ran out to Michael’s and found a frame and some ribbon. It was a quick and easy stitch and I love the pretty images and of course the message.

The pattern is called Spring Doxology by Rabbit Valley Studio on Etsy. It was a downloaded pattern that I printed at home. I used 14 count Aida and close to the called for threads. I used what I had on hand! THIS IS WHERE I buy my stitching supplies – good service and fast shipping!

I hand assembled a bow with pretty gingham ribbon and added a button charm from my stash – I used my hot glue gun to attach everything. The frame is from Michael’s.

    This is such a lovely keepsake and a wonderful reminder of a favorite hymn. I miss the old hymns! Rarely hear them in churches anymore. I do like the new music for sure but the hymns I grew up with are so special. Your stitching is as creative as your cards! You have endless great ideas! I hope y’all have a blessed Easter.

    This turned out so wonderful…love those birds and bunnies. Of course the saying is really great. I can’t believe we are celebrating Easter already. Is it a sign out quickly 2021 in going to fly by? I hope you and Mark have a beautiful Easter weekend and I am so glad you are able to participate in all the wonderful services at church. Hugs…
