Homes for all
During the fall there were a number of squats all over Sweden as a protest to the housing shortage. It is especially bad in the biggest cities. Inspired by those squats I decided to make this cross stitch, it’s based on a photo from an article about one of them. The text on the banner says “Homes For All”.
Finished size about 27,5 x 48 cm on 14 stitches/inch Aida.

Lovely, on both aesthetics and meaning!
