Mandarin Ducks Cross Stitch



Mandarin ducks are Chinese symbols of unity and love. The phrase 天作之和  denotes a match by heaven and 永结同心 means to be of one mind forever. Wishing my uncle and auntie a blissful life together.


I have been working on this for almost 7 months. It's 2x larger than the previous cross stitch with almost 3x as many colours. After framing it will be almost 1 metre by 1 metre. I really hope they love it.

  1. Hi, can you tell me where you got this pattern? Or would you be willing to share it? I would appreciate it so, so much. I'm completely infatuated with the design and I'd love to make it for myself, but I don't know where to start. I know this post is super, super old, but I hope you'll take a moment to respond! Thank you!

    1. I actually still have the design on this. You can buy this kit in China at any of those cross stitch shops.
