inding peaceful moments
just for you and your
thoughts is an essential
part of modern living.
We’re giving you a stitchy hand
in finding your calm moment
with this scene of serenity,
picturing the Buddha attaining
enlightenment while meditating
under the Bodhi tree. As you
stitch each falling leaf swirling
in the breeze, try to reflect on all
the joy in your life. And, when
you’re done, turn your piece into
a cushion to add to your cosy
corner, or display it in a frame to
celebrate Bodhi Day! ●
