10 Ways to Love
Some time ago an inspirational email began making the rounds. It gave wise tips about "Ten Ways to Love," and it contained simple yet very meaningful sentiments based on Biblical verse, illustrating how to be loving and compassionate in our every day lives. We were so moved by the sayings, we set about making embroidery designs with them. We also included flowers from the Holy Land as further inspiration! Choose narcissus, Madonna lily, thistle, larkspur, loosestrife, tulips, crocus, Rose of Sharon, poppy, and Lenten rose. All of the designs below would be wonderful in a quilt, as a series of inspirational wall hangings and framed embroidery, and as a set of throw pillows. "Listen without interrupting" and "Speak without accusing" make a beautiful start, embellished with narcissus and Madonna lily, respectively!
