Inspired by a piece of graffiti written on a textured wall, talented textile artist and designer, Brandon Mably of Kaffe Fassett Studio, has created a bold and colourful needlepoint design that will make the perfect gift for a special person in your life.

You Are Loved - profound words that Brandon felt we all need to be reminded of, and share - playfully pop in bright colours across the canvas, which is full of texture and movement.

Hand-stitched in prison, this uplifting message is one that Brandon hopes could be shared amongst the stitchers too, inspiring optimism and hope, one stitch at at time.

An intermediate-level project for stitchers, the cushion uses tent stitch throughout and has been finished with a backing of deep red linen and pillarbox red piping.

By giving prisoners hope that transformation is truly possible, they can envision a meaningful life after release. But nobody tells the story of how Fine Cell Work has helped them better than the prisoners themselves:

“Stitching allows me to use a totally different part of my brain and personality. I can move away from the more difficult reflections and anxieties and feel creative and purposeful. This means I no longer feel that my life has come to a halt and that I am of no use to anyone else.”

- Tom, FCW Stitcher -
