Sewing in the Sun
Find a sunny spot, gather your favorite fabrics and threads, and let your hands move intuitively. You don’t need a big project to start; even small embellishing pieces can offer a meditative experience.

Slow Stitch
I recently finished the second piece in my intuitive slow stitch series, and I’m excited to share the journey with you. In my last post, I talked about the different color options I considered for the background fabric. I was leaning toward beige, but then I found a brown fabric piece that matched the first one perfectly.

My Intuitive Slow Stitching Journey

Interesting Slow Stitched Journey
Another important part of my interesting slow stitched journey was choosing not to look at other people’s work on social media while I stitched.

Slow Stitching as an Art Form
I am beginning to feel in charge again. After unpacking some fabrics, I realized I haven’t touched my sewing machine or iron yet. Instead, I’m expanding on my slow stitching skills.

Travel Kit
What’s wonderful about slow stitching is that you don’t need a lot of space or fancy tools. With just a few essentials, you can turn any travel experience into a productive and enjoyable one.
To make sure I could work efficiently while traveling, I assembled a travel kit that included everything I needed for my slow stitching project.
Here’s what went into my travel kit:

A Mediterranean Summer
This hottest season has sparked my thoughts of bold, bright landscapes that show summer. With that in mind, I have started my first piece in the "Seasons Slow Stitch" series, which I've named "A Mediterranean Summer." This embroidered appliqué landscape piece, crafted in a hoop, will use solid bold colors to capture the spirit of this hot season.
