Hand Embroidery
Escaping my overthinking one stitch at a time.
Hand Embroidery is the art of decorative stitching on fabric with needle and thread. There are many types of floss, yarn and fibers to stitch with, as well as a plethora of stitches to use. Hand Embroidery adds a decorative element to quilts, garments and accessories.
Embroidery has, and always will be, a popular way for people to decorate their homes and express themselves. Contemporary embroidery artists believe hand embroidery has grown in popularity as a result of an increasing need for relaxation and digitally disconnecting practices. It's also a fairly inexpensive hobby to maintain and a great way to fix damaged clothing while adding a special flare. Happy Embroidering!
