My Necessity - Digital Cross Stitch Pattern

Cross stitch as a practice, hobby, craft, pastime, skill, technique, etc. means the world to me, as I know it does to so many of you. This is my ode to its role as a grounding, centering force.

This design was originally released as a collaboration with Evertote and Roxy Floss Co. Kits containing the pattern along with handmade project bags and/or floss packs are still available directly from the Evertote online shop: Basic Kit / Pineapple Project Bag Kit / Stars Project Bag Kit

By making your purchase here in my shop, you will receive the pattern only without any accompanying notions/products.

Thanks so much to Caroline, Kerri, and the rest of the Evertote team for working on this collaboration with me!
