About this pattern

A calm little piece for the busiest month of the year. A white folk-art dove carries an olive branch with one red berry beneath a golden eight-point star, and 'Peace' is stitched below in soft serif letters with 'on Earth' in gold.

I charted it for navy fabric because white and gold just glow on a dark background. It looks beautiful on antique blue or charcoal too. There are six colors, and the double gold border gives it a finished, framed feel even before you frame it.

The design is 90 x 110 stitches, about 6.4 x 7.9 inches on 14-count. The dove's wing is made of simple scallops, so it's more relaxing than it looks.

It's a thoughtful gift for a church friend, a teacher or a grandparent. It's also the kind of piece that comes out with the nativity set every year.

Questions

How do I get my pattern?

Right after checkout you land on your order page with download links for every file, plus a "download all" zip. Links work for 7 days, and you can reopen your order page anytime to get fresh links.

Is this a physical kit?

No. This is a digital PDF download. No fabric, thread or hoop is included and nothing is shipped. The floss key lists every DMC color you need.

How do I print it?

Print at 100% scale (or "actual size") on US Letter or A4 paper. The black & white chart saves ink and is easy to read. You can also stitch straight from a tablet.

Does it work with Pattern Keeper?

Yes. A Pattern Keeper friendly PDF is included, so you can import it and mark stitches off as you go. Backstitch (if any) is listed separately, because Pattern Keeper only tracks full crosses.

What is the free bonus pack?

Every order comes with a little thank-you: my one-page beginner cheat sheet and 3 bonus mini patterns (a star ornament, a tiny tree and a little mushroom). They appear on your order page next to your patterns.

Is there a discount if I buy several patterns?

Yes. Buy any 3 or more individual patterns or sets and each one is 25% off, applied automatically in your cart. Bundles already have their own price. During a shop-wide sale you always get the single best discount (they don't stack).

What if something is wrong with my file?

If a file has a problem, we'll fix it or refund you. Just send Sara a message. See the refund policy for details.
