Pattern description
This gentle birth announcement centers on the timeless image of a stork carrying a swaddled infant, accompanied by the opening lines of William Strode's classic poem "The Christening." The design employs a soft palette of grays, whites, and dusty pinks against cream linen, creating a soothing, nostalgic mood perfect for welcoming a newborn. At 159 × 159 stitches across seven DMC thread colors, the pattern demands advanced needlework skills but rewards with a heirloom-quality piece suitable for framing or a keepsake card.
The stitched lettering reads: Where did you come from, baby dear? Out of the Everywhere and into here..
