Thank You, Teacher Cards
Early June has been wonderful. The days are warm, with cool afternoon breezes blowing eucalyptus and poplar branches this way and that. The windows are wide open, and everywhere there’s a sense of quiet enthusiasm. It’s cool enough to use the oven, so tonight I’m roasting a chicken with potatoes and carrots, seasoned with rosemary fresh from the garden.
We got a beautiful surprise in the mail – issue 308 of The World of Cross Stitching – which features our Thank You, Teacher cards!

This is such a bright and fun collection of cross stitch designs! You’ll recognize many of Trellis & Thyme’s classic critters – whimsical and colorful, just like in storybooks.


There are seven easy-to-stitch designs, ideal for card-making, or for displaying in a small frame or hoop. Any of these would make the perfect gift for a favorite teacher. (I’m particularly fond of the panda bear. Such a bookworm.) 📚🍎

You can find The World of Cross Stitching magazine at all fine booksellers, and at craft stores. And if you’re wondering about that pretty little quilt block, it’s a Trellis & Thyme design called September Calendar Cottage. (Part of a series, if you hadn’t guessed.) More on that very soon! ✨🌈
