The beautiful lotus flower emerges from the mud and is a symbol of purity, enlightenment, self-regeneration and rebirth. For me it signifies new beginnings, a chance to go in a new direction allowing me to breathe and blossom.
The design has a cross stitch lotus flower in two shades of pink with a light green stem. The word Breathe is sewn in a calligraphy style using blue thread and the words Rise and Bloom are backstitched in black thread. The design is sewn on 14 count white aida fabric in 9" x  5" wooden oval hoop with DMC thread.  The hoop has white felt on the reverse and a length of natural jute twine is included for display.
