I use a digital pattern where I can mark each spot where I've left a thread until I need it again. It's known as the parking method, and it's to help with all the thread changes in detail work. This piece has about 100 different color threads to manage, so the parking method helps a lot.

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.

A little slow stitching piece I finished recently. 🪡

It's so good! Amazing work!

Thank you!

I'm trying to get away anything, Meta, right now. So here are a few of my projects I worked on last month. If you're into fiber arts, I'd love a follow!
