Madeline Quote Cross Stitch Pattern
My first-born daughter was always going to be Madeline and I never had any doubt that my first-born would *be* a daughter. I fell in love with the Madeline books as a child and her name was just the prettiest name I had ever heard. Today our Madeline turns ten. I can remember being pregnant with her like it was yesterday and I really don’t know where the time has gone. I stitched up this Madeline Quote Cross Stitch Pattern as a gift to her as she enters double digits.
This pattern is a beginner level pattern with just three colors. I did add some back-stitching on the hat that isn’t in the pattern (only because I can’t figure out how to add it in the program I use!), but I just used a single strand of floss to add just a bit more to the hat.
To finish off my hoop, I added some fluffy white pom pom trim. I just attached it with glue. Super easy!
I was teary the entire time I stitched up the hoop. It took me a decent bit longer than it should have because I kept needing to stop to get myself together! It was so worth it, though.
