Peace, Love, Joy. These are what the festive season is all about! You can use this design for hand embroidery, or if you enjoy appliqué you can use it for that too. I created these designs with stitching in mind. My idea is to embroider the outlines of the Peace Love Joy shapes in either stem stitch or chain stitch. Once you have done the linear elements, fill the coloured areas fairly densely with stitching of your choice.
If you like encrusted embroidery, you can fill across the coloured area of the design with stitches. You could really go for it, and since it is Christmas, add as much beading, and as many sequins as you want! Or if you are not into the encrusted style, you could use satin stitch or sprinkle isolated stitches densely across the coloured area. Other stitches you can use include seeding, freeform cross-stitch, or French knots.
You can use this design or elements of them regardless of faith — this is great for all who celebrate the Holidays in their own way, and as you stitch, you can think of the many ways in which we stitch ourselves together as a community, as a family, as one people around the world.
