Quaker Thistle Bush Cross Stitch Pattern

Description

Quaker Thistle Bush cross stitch is a replica of an antique thistle motif, popular on Quaker embroidery samplers in the 18th and 19th century.

This little design has so many applications, especially when mixed up with modern DMC colours. It’s in our forever free library so be sure to grab yourself a copy.
