The Blue Flower Jeannine McGowan Trunk Town Summer Cross Stitch Pattern

This is a cross stitch pattern by Jeannine McGowan from The Blue Flower featuring the lively “trunk town” of summer, where a whole cast of woodland creatures gather among blooming native plants and curling vines. A spirited mix of animals including a porcupine, chipmunk, bufflehead duck, woodpecker, ocelot, bat, and colorful birds brings this design to life in a playful wraparound scene full of charm and detail. Soft neutral linen paired with earthy reds, greens, and blues creates a warm, natural palette that feels both cozy and full of movement. Designed to be finished as a drum cushion, this unique pattern turns into a whimsical, story filled piece that adds texture, personality, and a touch of nature inspired magic to your stitching collection.

The model is stitched on 32 count "Cafe Au Lait" linen from Fiber On A Whim. This is a very lightly mottled neutral fabric and the closest DMC equivalent is 0006/0007. The drum is trimmed with "Potato" velveteen from Lady Dot Creates. Stitch count is 240 wide x 88 high and the model is stitched with two strands of thread over two strands of linen.
