United We Stand!
February 2023 - Good news from Alma: This is going to be released as part of a booklet containing three charts at the 2023 Nashville Needlework Market. The three charts included are: the mattress pincushion, United We Stand, the scissor pocket Join in Hand, and The Clustered Stars needlebook.
On days when we feel as though our world is spinning out of control, we turn to the never-changing constants in our lives for comfort. The eagle represents our families and dear friends who unite to lift us up with their smiles, laughter, and support. The center motif surrounded with a wreath shows our love of nature as flowers bloom and birds sing, providing unrelenting gifts of cheer and color. We are grateful to belong to a community that has been stitched together with loving threads!
NOTE: Make sure the read the layout instructions included with the chart.
