Strength and Laughter Cross Stitch Pattern - Plum Street Samplers

I have always pulled from either a Sunday School song or Scripture as my inspiration for the exclusive, and this year is no different. My hope is that if you recognize this song, it will be in your heart for the rest of the day!

This beautiful two-piece set features inspirational verses with charming birds and floral motifs. "The joy of the Lord is my strength" is stitched on soft pink linen with a sweet bird and pink flower, while "He fills my mouth with laughter" appears on natural linen with a coral bird and blue tulip. Both pieces feature delicate scrollwork and can be stitched together as a coordinating set or individually.
