Feathers and Friends Cross Stitch Pattern from Butternut Road Br 01

Background story

“Feathers and Friends,” the first Butternut Road design, began as a strong Russian peasant woman. After the invasion of Kuwait, I felt the design symbolized a gathering together of many nations to protect peace. Her eyes follow the path of the white dove.
