Lydia at her Tapestry Frame by Mary Cassett is available as a canvas from Art Needlepoint

From Jane Brocket’s The Gentle Art of Stitching:

Gentle stitching is not fraught, demanding or nerve-jangling. Instead it is simple, straightforward — something that can be done when relaxing, talking, sitting in the sunshine or on holiday. It doesn’t require great amounts of skill, confidence or planning. . . .Gentle stitching is easy-going and anxiety-free and focuses on the very essence of stitching .

May your stitching today be gentle.
