Leseprobe:

Welcome to Cross Stitch for the Heart - a book filled with patterns celebrating all aspects of love, kindness, compassion and connection.Life and love are precious, and the last two years have made me realize this more acutely than ever before. I think it's safe to say that living during a pandemic has made us all reassess what we value in our own lives. We've all missed our loved ones through lockdowns, and many have su_ered losses too. We've seen a lot of kindness during this time as well: communities coming together, strangers helping each other, the tireless work of healthcare professionals and key workers to keep things going despite all the challenges and risks they face every day. It's highlighted the importance of human connection and how it benefits us all in multiple ways.These 20 patterns celebrate love and connection in di_erent ways. Like all of my work, they are designed to be uplifting to view as well as enjoyable to stitch.
