Cross Stitch Pattern "embroidery unites people in friendship", PDF Download

For a meeting of embroidery enthusiasts in September 2023 in Basel
I was asked to design an embroidery pattern to add to the goodie bag.
The brief was: if possible, it should have something to do with embroidery,
Europe and friendship. You can see the result here.

The retreat must have been wonderful. I didn't take part myself.
A participant told me that my saying was exactly right,
what she felt. That a shared passion like embroidery brings creative people
together and connects them.

I have provided color suggestions. As always, you can use other colors.
Make your thing out of my thing!

Have fun embroidering!
