Stitching is an embroidery practice that can feed your soul and help you connect with others, even virtually.

I have worked as a teacher for over 25 years and have been a practicing artist since 2021. I love using a needle to explore my art and have given talks and workshops all over the U.K.

During the COVID-19 lockdown, I decided to share this love online. The #52 projects were born in 2020, including the #52stitches challenge, a weekly project you can take part in to learn 52 embroidery stitches.

In this Hack, I will walk you through some of the insights I've learned on my stitching journey, including the benefits of a social community.
