F

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! ●
