Did the cheeky phrase in the Heart Grows Fonder cross stitch pattern just make you do a double take? Good, because that’s intentional… 😂 This design is a play on the phrase, “Distance makes the heart grow fonder,” because let’s be honest, that just makes you cranky and sad. Although it isn’t everything, nobody’s gonna be mad to have more fortune in their life. This colourful cross stitch pattern was featured in Issue 13 (“Fortune”) of XStitch Magazine. This pattern contains both a colour chart to work from, and a black & white one.
