Sampler o1: Love & Kindness

Cross-stitching is hands down my favourite way to create text on fabric. Making a letterform work on a grid feeds my typophile soul and there is simply no end to the fabric + floss + phrase combinations you can come up with. But of the many cross-stitched samplers I have sitting around my studio, it’s this “love & kindness” one that I make sure is always visible. These two words are an important reminder to me as I travel through each and every day. If you feel the same, grab a needle, some floss, and this free PDF chart to start making a sampler for yourself. :)
