Where my embroidery started
These were the pieces that started it all, and my very first embroidery will always have a place in my home.
Starting embroidery is truly a transformative experience. I remember my first project vividly—it wasn’t just about creating something beautiful but discovering the peacefulness that comes with slow, deliberate crafting. Each stitch I learned felt like a small victory, teaching me patience and mindfulness in a world that often feels rushed. Embroidery offers an incredible blend of creativity and tranquility. As a slowcraft, it invites you to focus and unwind, allowing your mind to drift as your hands work rhythmically. This connection between mind and body is something I cherish deeply, and it’s what made me fall in love with fiber art. What’s rewarding is that every piece, no matter how simple, holds a story. My very first embroidery piece remains a symbol of that beginning—a reminder that every expert was once a beginner. If you’re considering starting embroidering, I encourage you to embrace the slow learning process. Start with basic stitches and simple designs, and don’t rush. Enjoy the tactile experience of needlework, feel the fabric’s texture, and let every thread connect you to this timeless craft. Over time, you’ll find your own style and pace, and maybe, like me, you’ll find a peaceful hobby that stays with you for years.
Those stitches oh my goodness 😍
