Inspirational hand embroidery patterns

Words of encouragement to embroider: short sayings, nearly all in capitals, to hang where they will be read every day.

Among them are reminders to be kind, to be brave and to slow down, beside words of hope, joy and peace, in block capitals and line capitals (slim letters stitched as single lines) between two garlands of laurel or inside a laurel wreath, and a few in script or in rounded letters. They suit a hoop by a desk or a mirror, or a gift for someone who needs the words.
