Gather

“Gather” is such a lovely word! It brings to mind all those times we have joined with others for special occasions or just simple, sweet visits. It reminds us of the things in life that matter most—friends, family and fellowship—and the need to pull in tightly those we love and to hold them not just in our arms, but also in our hearts. ♥ This sentiment is perfect to embroider on a bench pillow as shown… or to work into a quilt, wall hanging or long table runner.

This design comes in two sizes. Each size is split into two halves that are easily joined together with the help of PDF design templates provided for you to print and cut out. (Full instructions on how to do that are included in the PDF instructions!) Once joined, the smaller designs create a 16” x 6” appliqué, and the larger designs create a 20.5” x 8” appliqué. The smaller designs will fit most 6×10 hoops and the larger designs will fit most 8×12 hoops. (Part 2 of the larger design will fit most 6×10 hoops as well.) For exact design sizes, see DETAILS below.

This set coordinates beautifully with Marlow’s Wreath & Flower Collection! Additional designs from that collection are shown on the pink/blue pillow.
