Facing the Sun Cross Stitch Pattern

This counted cross stitch pattern is based on a quilt design by Robin Pickens. A modern representation of flowers reach on tall stalks up to the sky in circular blooms. This mod garden is a play of color and negative/positive space within the blooms. Some flowers have simple linear details while others are solid or sport a band of accent color.  The design is available as a printed hardcopy pattern.
