This stunning Floral Peace Sign Embroidery sends an important message reminding us all of peace, love and unity. The floral pattern uses a collection of joyful colours and significant flowers in its design, a modern take on the hippy statement peace signs during the 1960s & 1970s. 

Sometimes craft crosses over into political statements and in this case, a gentle reminder we all ultimately want one thing; Peace. At the centre of the sign is the Sunflower, the national flower of Ukraine. Surrounding this are roses representing love, poppies representing peace, forget-me-nots for loss, Hollyhocks representing the circle of life and violets for faith and wisdom.
