Description:

Cross stitch embroidery - cotton thread on Aida. This is a modified version of a pattern by Nova Stitch Creations. My kids play DND, and I've learned that the group comes together in solidarity. If one member of the group is attacked, everyone in the group joins in to defend and support that person. My aunt Terry taught me to cross stitch 40 years ago. In the summers, we'd stay with her and her family in Kentucky, and we spent hours stitching around the table. As I stitched this, I thought about the importance of active allyship, and supportive people. I hope whoever receives this is supported in the way they need.

Dimensions:

Stitched area: 7 x 2 3/4 inches. Matted and framed: 11 x 6 1/4 inches
