A few weeks ago, I shared the beginning of this special project here on the blog.
At that stage, the embroidery was still just an idea slowly coming to life. A few floral stitches had appeared, delicate outlines were sketched onto the linen, and the tiny baby footprints were only beginning to take shape.
Today, I'm happy to share the finished piece.
Hello, summer!
The season of wildflowers, warm sunshine, open windows, and long creative evenings has finally arrived. And I can't think of a better way to welcome it than with a new embroidery project inspired by summer meadow flowers.
They begin with one tiny stitch.
One outline.
One thread.
One quiet thought:
“What if I try this idea?”
Back then, there was no YouTube, no endless blog posts, and definitely no Pinterest boards full of embroidery tips. I was just a beginner with a needle in my hand, a lot of excitement, and a lot of questions. I didn’t know what fabric to choose, which needles were “right,” or why my thread kept tangling like it had a mind of its own. I learned everything through trial and error, and I honestly wish someone had simply said: “Here’s the beginner embroidery supply list. Start with this.”
There’s something about the weeks leading up to Christmas that always inspires me to slow down.
The evenings feel quieter, candles stay lit a little longer, and my embroidery hoop somehow finds its way into my hands almost every night. It's my favorite time of year for small handmade projects—the kind you can finish over a few cozy evenings with a warm drink nearby.
This little Christmas tree ornament was one of those projects.
There’s something about autumn that always makes me want to slow down.
As the days grow shorter and the evenings become cooler, I naturally find myself reaching for my embroidery hoop. This is my favorite season for cozy projects—warm colors, soft textures, candlelight, and a cup of coffee never feel out of place.
Every season seems to leave me with one flower I simply can't forget.
For autumn, it's always marigolds.
