I made some time yesterday and today to practice the backstitch. The solid lines this makes are super satisfying. I've been stressed as I wrap up packing to move internationally, and having this simple little ritual has quickly become a very necessary time and space where I'm able to take my mind off of all the stress for a bit. I can't wait to see how my little ritual changes after my move!

Pull up a chair. I want to know who you are. Drop a comment (or your own post) below with: 1. Your name and where in the world you are 2. How long you have been stitching (or if you are brand new) 3. One thing you want to make — doesn't matter how ambitious No wrong answers. I will reply to every single one, and so will this community. I will start: I am Danielle. I am in Australia. I learned embroidery from my Nana at 10 years old and I have not put the needle down since. What I want to make right now is a field of wildflowers on silk. One day. Your turn.
