I've read this piece three times now, each time enjoying it more. It makes me want to revisit a needle and thread. I haven't done embroidery since I was a child sitting with my mom in our patio on hot days. Good memories. I love how each of the three maps is SO different. What an amazing project. I see contemplation and sowing down in every stitch, and feel the calming. Lovely.
