Lovebirds Heart - Cross Stitch and Blackwork Pattern

by The Hawthorn Tree

A counted embroidery pattern that is perfect for all romantic occasions. This design started life as a doodle and grew into a sweet sampler perfect for Valentine's Day or any other romantic occasion. It can easily be adapted to make a wedding sampler by adding initials instead of the birds and a date instead of 'Je t'aime'.

There is an alphabet and numbers provided to help you personalise your sampler.
