In Praise Of Trees: what is wrong with it
Mon, Mar 9, 2026 8:27 PM

I have a copy of the July/August 1991 issue of Cross Stitch & Country Crafts magazine (by Better Homes & Gardens). I am trying to complete the pattern In Praise of Trees. Unfortunately, there is a pretty significant error in the printing. The segment of the leaves border on the bottom of the right-hand page is mirrored from the left side, instead of what they are supposed to be. In the photo of the finished pattern, all the leaves around the border are different. They are far too small and fiddly for me to be able to recreate them from the photo.
A. Does anyone have a copy of this issue where the pattern is correct?
B. Was this pattern ever printed in any other publication?
I can't find the artist credit in the magazine, so I can't search for their work by name.

    Laura,
    I looked at this pattern, and you’re right - it isn’t correct. Have you found a solution yet?

      I am hoping that the pattern was published in another publication somewhere...? Go to top
