The Blue Flower OF MANY LIVES Cross Stitch Pattern

This pattern comes with three designs: there is a literal family "tree," a log cabin quilt-style family tree, and a sampler with the words "Of Many Lives Our Life Is Made." Whether you choose to make all three or just one or two, the designs bring attention to how connected we humans are to nature. In the "Of Many Lives" piece, you can choose from multiple animal designs (each with information about what they symbolize), including the bear in the model, a beaver, a cat, or a dog. 

A Note From The Blue Flower Designer: "You may notice some interesting names on the family tree as well - since I don't like to put lots of personal details online without permission, I've included the heritage of one of our greyhounds! So 'Legendary Lexi' and 'Flying Daquiri' are featured in the models. The chart includes worksheets and alphabets (both over one and back stitched options) so you can include your own name choices."
