You Are Ascending Into Paradise California Counted Cross Stitch Pattern #paradisestrong Town Sign AD129

This is a counted cross stitch digital download pattern. The design incorporates the Paradise town sign with the phrase, "You are ascending into Paradise" and I added the term "Strong." Declared the worst fire in the last century in California, the Camp Fire destroyed the Welcome Sign to the town of Paradise along with the homes of my family and friends. 

Stitch this motif with two strands of embroidery floss. The words are stitched using one strand for the backstitching. The remaining design incorporates full cross stitch. Stitch with two strands.  I have also included a coloring book page featuring the bear trio that used to be at the Black Bear Diner.

Colors in this chart:

DMC 520 green 

DMC 3777 deep red brown

 DMC 632 brown or DMC 4140 (you choose)

DMC Ecru 

This design in some small way is my attempt to capture a small piece of Paradise history, and to help those that have lost their memories, homes, and loved ones to this catastrophic fire.  My kindest thoughts go out to all of you. Best wishes, Amanda Mae of Ardith Design #paradisestrong
