MOJO STITCHES 'MY APPLE TREE' CHART

In the middle of a cold Winter and longing for a sunshiny day under the apple blossom, I designed this piece to remind me of happier days ahead.  I'm not naturally an optimist, so this quotation by Martin Luther spoke to me - a good reminder of the power of our everyday, small choices to better the future.  I hope it speaks to you as well - to value your power to choose the good every day.

This design has a stitch count of 131w x 131h and only uses full crosses over two.  In my model, I used one strand of floss over two threads of linen for a 'prim' look - use 2 strands for the colours to pop even more.  It can be stitched on linen, Aida or evenweave of any count that you prefer.  You could also just stitch the top, pictorial section for a simple farmhouse scene.
