December Down Under Cross Stitch Pattern Lindy Stitches Christmas

December Down Under Cross Stitch pattern by Lindy Stitches.  A tribute to my Southern Hemisphere friends in Australia and New Zealand, who helped me understand the glories of a hot summer holiday!  Includes all five patterns to make adorable ornaments or pillows.  Creatures include the Cassowary, Kookaburra, Emu, Kakapo, Takahe, Platypus & Quokka.  I chose three colors of Cottage Garden Threads because they're produced in Victoria, Australia!
