Life is Sweet - Cross Stitch Pattern by Erica Michaels

From the designer:

Not long after releasing my first berry designs, I began teaching a finishing class, usually hosted by one of you, my retailers - and typically included a simple berry chart designed for the location and/or season (some may look familiar to you!). After ten years, this book is a collection of several of those berries - plus a brand-new berry design - for a total of nine berries! In addition to the nine charts there are color images, finishing instructions, and templates included in this large format book.

Berry stitch count: 127 x 72 each
