My Thoughts
I found this design in the June 2023 Just Cross Stitch magazine and immediately ripped it out and saved it! It was my first introduction to Pansy Patch Quilts and Stitchery and when I stitched it in the summer of 2024 I fell immediately in love with her eclectic, primitive style and superb colour work!
I love this hybrid framed finish, getting to play with the fun fabrics and trims to hopefully compliment the design. Peacock Manor hangs beside my bed and is usually the first thing I see when I wake up…nothing better than that!
