The amazing health benefits of practicing embroidery

  • Lowers blood pressure

    Embroidery calms the nervous system, promotes relaxation, and contributes to lower blood pressure, reducing stress for improved well-being.

  • Regulates breath

    Engaging in embroidery encourages mindful, rhythmic stitching, promoting focused breathing patterns that can induce a sense of calm and relaxation.

  • Calms nervous system

    Embroidery, with its repetitive and rhythmic hand movements, engages the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels.

  • Form deep social bonds

    Our online community fosters connection through a shared creative space, encouraging communication and supporting the exchange of ideas, nurturing deep social bonds among members.

I’m getting a slow start on it. I’ve been busy. But I do like it. The number of double FKs are a bit intimidating!🙄 but I need the practice.

Tree of Life Kit

The Tree of Life kit was beautifully presented in a box that withstood being shipped to the US. The linen is of good quality and the design printed on it is crisp and clear. The Appleton wool is of superb quality and a delight to stitch with. The instructions and charts included are easy to follow.
