Free Madeleine L'Engle Hope Quote Pattern

Everyone who knows me well is aware of my affection for Madeleine L'Engle's books. I remember the first time I checked out A Wrinkle in Time from the school library. I also remember staying up late and reading more of the Time Quartet at a friend's house - I had not realized there were more books in the series. Now, I have read all her fiction books with the exception of Ilsa which is out of print and out of my price range on eBay. I was saddened when she passed away. No more new books to look forward to, but I have plenty to re-read and share with my niece and nephew as they grow up.

I found a quote from A Wrinkle in Time about hope inspiring, so I decided to chart it using the Art Deco X motif in the design. I stitched the free Madeleine L'Engle Hope Quote Pattern using Soie Cristale floss from Caron Collection on Delft Blue Aida fabric from Charles Craft. You may choose the floss and fabric colors and brands you like.
