---The Story---
This is NOT a finished cross stitch. For finished versions, see "the links" section of this listing, below.
This listing is for a PDF pattern for 10 different common microbes. They are intermediate to advanced level patterns, but each can be finished easily in an afternoon.
They include dengue fever, FFI, leprosy, brain-eating amoeba, tetanus, bird flu, SARS, proteus mirabilis, smallpox and the effects of Tay-Sachs disease.
The other patterns pictured can also be found in my shop (but are not included in this listing).
