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.

I encourage you to take some dedicated time to rediscover your materials and truly engage with the creative resources that you have at your disposal. This process begins with organizing your space, which can significantly enhance your productivity and inspire new ideas.

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.

I never expected to enjoy creating intuitive slow stitched pieces as much as I do. The process feels like a quiet conversation between me and the fabric, where every stitch happens naturally without a strict plan.

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. Usually, I find inspiration in others’ creations, but this time I wanted to hear my own voice. I turned off music and the usual background noise to create a quiet space where my thoughts and ideas could flow uninterrupted. This silence allowed me to have a personal conversation with the fabrics. I noticed details I might have miss

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. It’s a big change for me. My sewing machine has been an extension of myself since I was five years old. It’s always been fast, precise, and familiar. Slow stitching, on the other hand, is just that-slow. It pushes me out of my comfort zone, but it also opens up new ways to connect with fabric and

I set a goal to do some slow stitching every day, no matter how small the project. This daily practice has helped me stay connected to my craft and find creativity even without my full studio setup.

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:

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.

How many shades of orange are there?

Things of beauty are created when one just does.

Today is a grey day, fitting for working with grey fabrics to create a grey slow stitched wave landscape.

After receiving many requests from people who don't sew by machine I have created a Wave Landscape Slow Stitching Tutorial.

Sometimes I tend to overthink about a piece. After doing that for a few weeks, yesterday, I told myself to just begin creating

I am still sorting threads and fabrics for my embroidery tutorials. I am also sorting tools and equipment and fabrics - free embroidery

Free embroidery means just that! No rules, no restrictions, no limits. Anything goes. You can use different threads, different fabrics

As usual I am working on a number of projects at the same time. I have been trying to focus and not do that.

The first season in the slow stitching course is winter. All my seasons have all the colors of the rainbow in them. Different hues and different depths of color.

I am still working on my slow stitching course. Its amazing, I haven't bought fabric or threads for years and everytime that I begin a new project I am never sure that I will find the colors and fabrics that I envision in my supply. I always do and more.

I had a hard time starting this project. I jus don't connect with yellow. The challenge was to create a sunflower from upcycled and...
