Happy World Embroidery Day from Di van Niekerk
Happy World Embroidery Day all you special stitchers out there! 
Many of us know how much embroidery means in our stressful world, and how it allows us to sit and relax while stitching. It's an expressive art form that is meditative, relaxing, and therapeutic. The world would be a sad and empty place without embroidery. Enjoy your day and happy stitching!
