About this ebook

Celebrate the majesty of Planet Earth with twenty nature-themed designs featuring proverbs, quotes, rhymes, sentiments, motivations, and reminders.

Whether it’s a plea to save the bees, clean up the oceans, appreciate nature, or unplug from technology, this celebration of the green movement in thread will remind us of the need to come together to build a brighter future, one stitch at a time. 

This collection features twenty exclusive designs, each with an easy-to-read full color and symbol chart. Alongside the designs, designer Emma Congdon shares her thoughts and inspirations for each one, with a detailed materials list and instructions for stitching. Beginners to cross stitch will find a helpful guide to the stitches and techniques used; and the beauty of cross stitch is that if you can sew one cross, you can sew all these designs! The designs range in size from mini hoops to larger scale samplers, so there are options to suit everyone. Messages include: 

We don’t inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children

Pardon the weeds, we're feeding the bees

Leave nothing but footprints, kill nothing but time

Live gently on the Earth

Never underestimate the difference you make

The Earth has music for those who listen

All good things are wild and free

Take care of the Earth and she will take care of you

Between two pines is a doorway to a new world

The world is full of magic

Every purchase includes a donation to Friends of the Earth, an environmental campaigning community dedicated to the wellbeing and protection of the natural world.
