Oh! I'll look through some of the linens that came from my great aunt. I think there might be tablecloth done like this. (Unless I'm dreaming...)
I love how cross-stitch is both artistic and methodical. It seems like an old-fashioned version of pixellated 1980s computer graphics.
What a cheerfully lovely pattern! I think that would great along the edge of a picnic blanket or even the hem of a summer skirt.
Have a wonderful, relaxing evening!
