The Hands On Design class pattern for Spring Mingle 2026, the virtual cross-stitch retreat hosted by Lindy Stitches. A small dragon piece designed by Cathy of Hands On Design, taught as a live class on May 15, 2026 and finished as a corsage pin in-class with a Weeks Dye Works hand-dyed wool backing.
The model fabric is Touch of Pink — I went with 32ct Mimosa Zweigart linen instead.
