Late in 2016 I decided to return to hand stitching again. I try to practice mindful stitching each day. This helps me to ground myself and seems to help me have a more productive day if I stitch quietly for 15 minutes or so. Here is a selection of works created in the last few years. I fell love with stitching on black linen when I read a book on Swedish for embroidery titled Yllebroderier.
