Subversive Cross Stitch Pennies Have Been Discontinued Deluxe Cross Stitch Kit

Remember when people used to offer a penny for your thoughts? Apparently, inflation has finally caught up with that expression.

The Pennies Have Been Discontinued Deluxe Cross Stitch Kit from Subversive Cross Stitch delivers a wonderfully sarcastic message wrapped in the charming appearance of a traditional needlework sampler.

The design reads, "I put the no in I'll let you know," surrounded by a delicate floral border in red, green, and warm golden tones. It's the sort of cross stitch that looks perfectly at home in an ornate antique frame, at least until someone stops to read it.

Created for Subversive Cross Stitch by Mr. Stevers, this design celebrates the fine art of declining invitations without actually declining them. It's especially appropriate for anyone who has perfected the polite smile, the noncommittal answer, and the graceful disappearance.

The deluxe kit includes fabric, embroidery thread, a full-color pattern, instructions, two needles, and an embroidery hoop. Everything needed for the stitching is provided, making it a convenient project for experienced stitchers and newcomers who appreciate a little sarcasm with their needlework.

Once completed, display it in your home, hang it in your office, or give it to someone whose favorite response to an invitation is a carefully worded maybe.

Sometimes a handmade gift says what everyone else is thinking.

The Art of Saying Maybe

There's something wonderfully satisfying about traditional needlework that refuses to behave traditionally.

Subversive Cross Stitch has built its reputation on pairing familiar stitching techniques with unexpected messages. This design is a particularly good example, combining the appearance of an heirloom sampler with a sentiment that feels entirely contemporary.

It's polite. It's decorative. And it's absolutely not a commitment.
