DIY Tropical Vibes Gift Set

Following the purple gift set and the pink gift set I shared here before Christmas last year, I now completed a similar set, but this time in bolder colors with a tropical vibe.

Spring Mountain Landscape - free cross stitch pattern

Hello, and welcome! Last week I failed to post the usual free cross stitch pattern here on the blog, so I'm posting early this week!


Spring Mountain Landscape - free cross stitch pattern


Truth be told, I've been busy with lots of new designs. This one in particular was one of the first I ever created for my Etsy shop, but I de-listed in a while ago now. Recently I updated it a bit, but it still doesn't fit very well with the rest of the patterns in the shop at this point, so I'm turning it into a free download instead.
