Meaningful, reflective, and deeply rooted in the spirit of needlework, Needlework: A Joyful Art by NeedleWorkPress is a beautiful sampler celebrating the peace and purpose found in stitching.

This thoughtfully designed piece features the heartfelt verse:

“I joyfully apply myself to the Needlework that is to be done
I am grateful for the ability
To do this Art”

Traditionally attributed to St. Clare of Assisi—the patron saint of needlework and lacemaking—this design serves as both an inspiring stitching project and a gentle reminder of the joy found in creative work.

Originally released by NeedleWorkPress and now reintroduced in updated colorways by Redfection Stitcher, this elegant sampler combines soft antique-inspired motifs with a warm, meditative aesthetic. Delicate florals, birds, and decorative elements frame the verse beautifully, creating a peaceful piece perfect for a stitching space, sewing room, or creative retreat.

A meaningful design for stitchers who view needlework not simply as a hobby, but as a comforting and restorative art form.
