All stitches are cross stitch. Northern Nights is inspired by cold winter nights in our northern mountain home, Gracewood. The cold blue of the night and the soft golden glow of our home's lights on the snowy landscape gave me some of the images for this band sampler. This pattern is dedicated to our two guardian dogs, Zach and his son, Jubal, sadly no longer howling at the moon. Kathy Bungard
