WHAT I BELIEVE

"Tolstoy Skirt" is one of my first major embroidery projects involving text.





It is embroidered with the following text, taken from What I Believe by Leo Tolstoy:

Christ’s teaching to live each day as if it were your last is much smarter than the world’s teaching to get more and more money for the future. Both sides will die, but only one will die prepared and happy. Disciples of Christ will be poor, but that does not mean that they will be sad. It may mean that they will live out on the land or sleep under the stars, that they will be hungry three times a day (just before each meal), that they will be so tired at night that they will fall asleep easily and sleep right through the night, that they will use their time to listen to and help others, and that when they die, their death will have meaning.” --Leo Tolstoy

NOT FOR SALE
