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. If you want to get up and stitching quickly, save yourself the time of collecting all the supplies and purchase one of our bundle options which include the pattern along with fabric, Cosmo thread, and needles.
