I am starting a new series on hand embroidery on both my website and YouTube. This is an opportunity for everyone to get involved. This will show you lots of different stitches that are easy to master.

This all fits into the slow stitching that I have been embracing. I absolutely love it and it is so relaxing.

I am starting with the running stitch and the whipped running stitch.
