Toi Derricotte is an American poet, and this line begins her poem, \"The Telly Cycle.\" I love this quote and hope you find it meaningful as well. Make this for yourself and for similarly aligned \/ optimistic \/ empathetic \/ feminist \/ thoughtful \/ hopeful \/ joyful \/ resisting \/ whimsical\/ democracy friendly \/ progressive people in your life! Fascists and dictators don't want you to find and share joy because with joy comes hope for the future. And hope means change. Joy to the world, love and joy come to you, and put this on your Christmas tree or Easter basket or give to your Valentine or Galentine if you're so inclined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI sewed this golden burst of rays and text on light pink cotton, but many other colors would work beautifully (you can see in the photos I made a second one with blue and gold on a cream linen). I think it would also be fun art on a tote bag, tee shirt, or denim jacket. The 4\" size is the perfect size for a cute, easy, joyful Christmas ornament, and it might even fit on a hat. The rays are sparkling, shimmering, metallic gold embroidery thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis PDF pattern is very beginner friendly and satisfying to sew. I provide DMC thread colors plus stitch suggestions, but I encourage you to be creative and customize with your own personality!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis download includes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePDF PATTERN DESIGN:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Black and white printable designs for a 4-inch hoop, a 5-inch hoop, AND a 6-inch hoop\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- DMC thread colors I used\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Stitches I used\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Full color photos\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease note: You will need a PDF reader to access this file on your computer.
