New cross stitch design called Squirrel's Treasure

I'm delighted to introduce you to my new counted cross stitch design called Squirrel's Treasure.  This chart is my gift to you (a freebie) and is inspired by the busy squirrels in the woodlands seeking out their buried treasures of nuts and acorns at this time of year.  I've dedicated this sweet design to my lovely stitchy friend Kim aka Stitchy Squirrels.

You will find the pattern on my website at www.thistleheartcreations.co.uk

My free design called Sweetheart is a sweet token of love on Valentine’s Day, decorations for a wedding, or as a memoriam for a loved one who has passed (forget-me-not flowers).
