But it’s a fine time to start stitching a garden, which we can do with Lizzie Kate’s Garden Patch cross stitch pattern.
This sweet little design is 31 by 31 stitches and uses 8 colors. It’s a little hard to see in the tiny photo but it features a carrot, flower, bird and birdhouse, though a charm is used for the birdhouse.
You can grab the free pattern by scrolling way down on her free patterns page, or this link takes you directly to the PDF.
