Update: I still don’t know what I’m going to do with this little bit of love, but it’s featured in the Valentine’s Day Roundup on One Pretty Thing.
Still looking for a Valentine’s Day craft? How ’bout some cross stitch action.
love
I stitched this up on 22 count Aida, so it’s tiny – about two inches square. The design is based on the Robert Indiana sculpture in Philadelphia’s John F. Kennedy Plaza and created on KG-Chart. Time is tight these days, so please forgive the cell phone pics of the finished work. The stitching is done, so now what do I do with it?
in a 4" diameter hoop
Here’s the pdf – love cross stitch. Enjoy!

Thank you for the pattern! I’ve always loved this design. Robert Indiana also did a series of prints using this design, with different color variations, and I had a print of one of those pieces hanging in my dorm room in college.

forgot – I think I’d add some backing fabric + make a small cushion.
