For the person who has forgotten how to stop. For anyone who needs permission to rest.
Be Still is for the overworked friend, the grieving parent, the colleague who hasn't slept properly in months — and sometimes yourself, on the mornings you need it most. It is not a bedtime phrase only. It is permission. And permission is needed at every age.
A single-layer stencil, unhurried by design — soft, open letterforms that don't shout. Apply with a fabric paint pen onto a cushion cover, add the personalised address and signature from Add-on A, and the result is a complete blessing letter made by hand. It holds just as much weight on a framed piece for a hospital bedside as it does on a cushion in a child's room.
Complete the look with Add-on A — "To the ones I love" stencil Add-on A gives you the address line ("To my Daughter", "To my Son", "To my Little One" and more) and the signature line ("Love, Mum", "Love, Dad", "Love, Grandma" and more) to complete your four-tier blessing cushion letter. Add-on A: £1.99 standalone. Free when you order 3 or more blessing stencils.

A note from Izzy
"I once sat with someone who couldn't stop apologising for needing rest. Be Still came from wanting to hand her two words instead of an argument — permission, not persuasion. I still think of her every time I stencil it."
