Heated Rivalry Beginner Hand Embroidery Pattern: It's scary but you're brave, floral wreath (PDF)

This is a PDF digital download for a beginner hand embroidery pattern I created because it's such a great sentiment. "Yes, it's scary, but you're brave" - Ilya, Heated Rivalry, at The Cottage. FRIENDS. I love this show, and I know many of you do too. I love the casual confidence that Ilya Rozanov has in Shane Hollander. This quote is perfect for similarly Heated Rivalry obsessed / loving / feminist / spicy romance readers / LGBTQ+ / queer ally / ice hockey loving people in your life! Also strongly appropriate for librarians and book sellers. And yourself, of course.

Lovely personalized gift even if, for whatever reason, you or your friends are not HR fans. Sometimes you just have to do the hard thing. And get through the hard thing. You can do it.  I think this quote is particularly apt for parents, care takers, eldest daughters, new grads, people embarking on new careers, new relationships or marriages, and new paths. It’s putting yourself out there, being vulnerable, trying something new and different. Asking questions, shouldering the burdens. Facing new symptoms or new diagnoses. Making the choice. Being bad at something. Taking a chance.

I chose a sweet handwriting font for this inspirational quote and surrounded it with a floral wreath with forget-me-not periwinkle blue flowers.

This PDF pattern is beginner friendly and satisfying to sew. I provide suggested DMC thread colors plus stitch suggestions, but I encourage you to be creative and choose your own!
