Beginner Hand Embroidery Pattern PDF. "I love you so much it sucks" - Shane, The Long Game by Rachel Reid. This book series is great, and Shane Hollander's exasperated but romantic declaration to Ilya Rozanov in the sequel to Heated Rivalry is funny and relatable. 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 as handmade wedding gifts for people who don't take themselves too seriously. Or who like a bit of snark. And for yourself, of course!

I have a second pattern based on The Long Game available here: https://littlebluemarket.com/products/the-long-game-beginner-hand-embroidery-pattern-i-choose-you-hollanov-heated-rivalry-pdf-digital-download

I chose a clear handwriting font for Shane's quote and surrounded it with wreath with red roses for love in the language of 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!
