*NEW* Snow Zone

I fell hard for the little hooked mat shown at the bottom of the photo. It was last Fall, while visiting an antique mall with friends to celebrate my birthday. Perfectly winter-y in the best vintage way, it has been hanging on the wall in my kitchen all year round, despite the changing seasons. I just couldn’t pack it away!

I hope you find it equally appealing. Its uniform loops translated well as a cross-stitch pattern (stitched for me by the lovely Donna Gabbard), but I’ve also thrown in a line drawing for good measure, in case you prefer to do it up as a needle punch or hooked rug, or even wool applique.

It is a small design, and quick to stitch up, perfect for your evenings spent hoping for the first snow of the season to fall.
