Crafts have a long history of being a form of resistance. Whether by creating something outside of the prescribed options, or something with messaging directly calling out injustice, crafts - very notably fiber and textile based crafts - can be used to signal your personal beliefs and speak truth to power. Please feel free to download these free cross-stitch patterns designed by me to create subversive and empowering art that uplifts our LGBTQIA2S+ community. Turn these designs into patches to wear, or art to hang on your wall, banners to carry into marches…whatever way allows you to participate in resistance to tyrrany and hate. These designs are my gift to you, but if you feel inclined to send a small donation in exchange, you can certainly send something via PayPal (@kimberlysewell2) or Venmo (@Kimberly-Sewell-2) to me, or consider making a small donation to an LGBTQIA2S+ supporting organization!
