Deep in My Heart 1998 (Red Chords Collection) - Digital Cross Stitch Pattern

I couldn’t pick just one song from The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, so the whole album gets the spotlight for its upcoming 25th anniversary. Miseducation debuted August 25, 1998 as the first (and still only) solo studio release by Ms. Lauryn Hill. It’s a true no skip album, a masterpiece that transcends genres.

The pencil in wooden desk groove from the classic album cover art is depicted in this stitch, accompanied by an interpretation of the pattern in the scarf Ms. Hill wears in the photos throughout the album booklet. Each square in the rightmost section represents each of the 16 tracks on the album, with different floss colors to highlight interludes, features by other artists, and hidden tracks.

The Red Chords Collection is my ode to R&B music, giving some of my favorite songs their own red samplers - the hits, the deep cuts, the collabs, the remixes, and more.
