You Are My Sunshine

Brighten someone’s day with this cute and cheerful design. This small cross stitch pattern is ideal for making into a handmade card or cute ornament. I’ve also had stitchers making this for a nursery as they sing the song to their little one each night. Whether you’re looking for a positive quote cross stitch, a mini pattern for cards, or simply a happy design to stitch on a rainy day, this little sunshine is guaranteed to bring smiles.

I recommend stitching this on a blue fabric for a lovely sunny sky, but you can stitch it on any small piece of fabric you have in stash.
