Today I’m pinching myself because my first embroidery kits and digital pattern are here!

Sometimes the universe nudges you forward when you’re not quite ready. This happened a few weeks ago when I checked Spoonflower’s list of upcoming design challenges and saw one featuring embroidery.

The shop was a jumble of art, jewelry and funky secondhand furniture. Although the town’s population was tiny, it was crowded with people attending the local art festival. I browsed, more curious about what was for sale than because I wanted to purchase anything.

Today’s Sips of Inspiration chat is with Laura Bray. Laura is an embroidery artist living in the Pacific Northwest.
