As the warm embrace of summer approaches, many of us find ourselves yearning to get outdoors and be active. While this is an excellent way to soak up summer, especially in the pacific northwest, it's also important to remember to slow down and savor the moment.
One such activity that perfectly savors the moment is hand embroidery. This hands-on craft, has experienced a resurgence in popularity and design in recent years, and for good reason. Let's explore why hand embroidery is the ideal craft to embrace during the summer months.
Why embroidery is the perfect summer craft:

Convenience: One of the greatest advantages of hand embroidery is that it requires very few supplies, and these supplies are compact and easy to carry.
