Love, Peace, Hope & Joy Hebrew Napkin Embroidery Kit

Love, Peace, Hope & Joy — stitched in English and Hebrew.

This DIY Judaica embroidery project includes four simple, buy beautiful, designs featuring the words Ahava / Love, Shalom / Peace, Tikvah / Hope, and Simcha / Joy. Each design includes both the Hebrew and English words, with a sweet little floral accent for just the right amount of stitchy zhuzh.

These designs are intended primarily for cross-stitch, but you can absolutely use other embroidery stitches if that’s more your style. Each stick-and-stitch, water-soluble pattern measures approximately 1" × 5.5". Stitch directly over the printed template, then rinse it away when you’re finished — leaving only your lovely hand stitching behind.

Once complete, these napkins are perfect for Shabbat dinners, Jewish holidays, hostess gifts, and family celebrations. Bubbe would approve.

Easy to stitch, meaningful to gift, and just fancy enough to make dinner feel extra special. Just add good food, family, and a few lively debates.

Skill level

Beginner-friendly

This project is designed primarily for cross-stitch and uses simple, repeatable stitches. It’s a lovely option for newer stitchers, gift-makers, or anyone who wants a meaningful project without needing an embroidery degree first.

Care instructions

Your stick-and-stitch templates are water-soluble, which means they are designed to disappear when washed. Until then, please handle them carefully.

Keep the templates dry and handle them only with clean, dry hands. Moisture may cause the printed lines to smudge, fade, or wear away before you are finished stitching.

For long-term care, gentle washing and air drying are recommended. To protect your hand embroidery, wash gently and avoid rough scrubbing or harsh detergents.
