I started as a self-taught embroidery enthusiast around 2014. Since then, I've taken classes with Laura Ameba (@lauraameba), Jenny Lennick, and often at the San Francisco School of Needlework and Design.
Embroidery is a task that needs my undivided attention and dedication when I'm doing it, and gives me an outlet to be as creative as I can. It's also truly amazing how just between a few projects, you can see improvement in your stitching; I find that very exciting.
I love how calming and meditative embroidery is, and I think that everybody should give it a try as a stress relief method.
