We reached out to our good friend Shannon Downey, aka Badass Cross Stitch, to pull together an embroidery tutorial that’s perfect for this strange and scary time in which we’re living.

Shannon created this pattern a couple of weeks ago when she noticed that COVID-19 was fueling anti-Asian and Asian-American racism in her hometown of Chicago.

We’re grateful to Shannon for speaking out on this issue! And we wanted to share her pattern and show you how to stitch your own version of this.

If you do it, please share it with us on social media and tag @modatl and @badasscrossstitch!
