Designed by Rhona Norrie for Cross Stitch Crazy magazine, this stitchy artwork is a sentiment we can all get behind! The fairy-tale book details and flourishes add a beautiful touch to the message. If you don’t have enough time to stitch the full framed design you can transfer the floral motifs onto smaller pieces of aida and create smaller gift tags or cards.
This set of 3 designs includes:
- Large ‘I stitch therefore I stash’ message
- Small ‘Stitch ‘n’ stash’ message
- Floral tag

Rhona Norrie is a prolific and popular cross stitch designer from Scotland who now calls New York home. Her work is regularly featured in magazines including The World of Cross Stitching, Cross Stitch Crazy, and Just Cross Stitch. Rhona is a total cross stitch addict! If she doesn’t have a needle in her hand, then it will be a camera that she’s carrying to capture the wonders of nature and she shares her nature pictures (and cross stitching!) on her Facebook and Instagram accounts. “I don’t have a specific favourite thing to stitch, but I do love – and I know many people will be surprised at this – French Knots! I took me ages to learn how to do them… then even more time to be able to do them consistently, but they are definitely worth mastering.”
