Making Zen 2025 officially begins today!
Get inspired right from your on home with Making Zen!
I am so excited to be a part of the Making Zen online retreat for the third year in a row. Making Zen is a week long creative retreat celebrating all things slow stitching. Join for free right now and get a week-long assortment of brand new videos from over 30 artists! My workshop will be debuting tomorrow (Tuesday, 5/27), and I will walk you through how to make a Chicken Scratch embroidered needlebook like the ones above. It can give you a little taste of my favorite method of hand embroidery- the vintage technique of Chicken Scratch- and show you how to create a pretty and useful item to corral your hand sewing needles and embroidery scissors. I hope you will join me!

I agree with you – so fun! Thanks Blair.
