I love the desert. (I got mar­ried there this past Octo­ber!) The weath­er, the plants, the scenery… it feels like you’re on a dif­fer­ent plan­et. Last year, Sarah K. Ben­ning took a trip to Joshua Tree Nation­al Park and was inspired by the flo­ra and fau­na she saw there. She has cre­at­ed a col­lec­tion of DIY designs called Place Pat­terns: the Mojave Desert. The series of six hand embroi­dery pat­terns fea­tures four plants that include beaver­tail cac­tus, fat boy cac­tus, hedge­hog cac­tus, and the Joshua tree. Addi­tion­al­ly, it has quail and road­run­ner birds avail­able for stitching.

You can instant­ly down­load the com­plete col­lec­tion (at a dis­count) or piece by piece through Sarah’s Etsy shop. Don’t sleep on these desert embroi­dery pat­terns; they are avail­able for a lim­it­ed time and will then be retired!
