The Crafting Therapy that is Slow Stitching

 

My journey into stitching began in childhood during a time when Hand Embroidery on Linen and Doilies was in ( showing my age now). The stitches I have learnt at that young age have remained a part of my crafting knowledge. It was a time of learning from my grandmother and creating cherished memories. Perhaps it is time for us, as Grandparents, Aunts, or Mothers, to pass on this experience to a generation immersed in a fast-paced, technology-driven world. Crazy Quilters have always had this ability, adorning every seam with intricate stitches, beading, and embroidery in each panel.

The idea that embroidery stitches need not be perfect may linger in the minds of those who have spent little time with a needle and thread. This self-doubt should be discarded when embracing this style. There are no wrong stitches, fabrics, or color choices. The essence lies in free interpretation.

The thoughts of embroidery stitches that don't show perfection is probably in the back of minds of those will very little time spent with a needle and thread. This self doubt needs to be thrown out the door with this style. No stitch, no fabric, no colour choice is wrong. Free interpretation is the key.

Lately, I've been exploring Slow Stitching to better grasp the essentials for assembling a Slow Stitching Pack, and I'm thoroughly relishing the tranquil moments. The items in this shop showcase my passion for crafting, embroidery, and creativity, with my own contribution extending to fabric art design.

I hope that the Store and Blog will inspire a fresh set of individuals to experiment and find the enjoyment that is Crafting.
