A stitched farewell from the Greatest Generation, dipped in nostalgia and silver shimmer.
This counted cross stitch pattern features the timeless phrase "Good Night Irene", rendered in elegant serif typography with a five-shade blue ombré that fades from midnight to powder. Each letter is kissed with silver highlights, evoking moonlight on linen and the sentimental glow of a bygone era. Inspired by the 1930s folk song popularized during WWII, this design is a stitched lullaby—equal parts romance, resilience, and retro charm.
Perfect for vintage samplers, memory quilts, or framed tributes to the quiet strength of those who came before.
