Free Pattern Friday – Tea Love
It's that time again, Free Pattern Friday! I made this pattern a few months ago and have been meaning to post it. I normally design my patterns in Photoshop, but this one I drew out on graph paper. I was in the mood to do a quick, cute, little cross stitch and this fit the bill. It's about 2.25" and fits nicely into a 4" hoop.
