{In The Shop} :: President Silhouette Cross Stitch Patterns

Presidents Day is upon us and while not a widely celebrated holiday, who says you can't create your own patriotic piece to decorate?  OR... you could just get a head start on your Independence Day crafts!  Either way, I've created two new cross stitch patterns for your enjoyment.  They are beginner level and measure 5" x 5" finished.  Both are designed to be stitched on blue or navy blue 14 ct. aida and only use two colors - that's what I'm talking about!
