SILENCE = DEATH

I know that there are a lot of scary + troubling things happening in the world right now, but as a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community I felt like I had to comment on recent news about gay men being kidnapped and killed in concentration camps in Chechnya. Calls by human rights campaigners against the abuses have been met with denial that LGBTQ people even exist there. Not enough people are talking about this, and silence cannot stand.

You can speak up + support the calls against the Chechen government by signing the Amnesty International petition here - https://www.amnesty.org.uk/actions/stop-abducting-and-killing-gay-men-chechnya

@celticsee Thank you for your interest! Not sure if I understand your question correctly, but after purchase you can copy (stitch) the material onto your own material of choice, for personal use only. Hope this answers your question - if you have any further queries, send me an email!

Progress on "Stars of the North". Though there's a little bit of a chill in the air, I'm sat outside in the garden with Frida (our cat) by my side. Stitching to the song of birds, Frida and I are both enjoying it :)
