W hat is an embroidery journal? Well, it’s a form of daily journalling where, starting on 1st January, each day you’ll stitch an icon that represents that day. By 31st December, you’ll have a collection of 365 completely original icons that together constitutes your year. Most embroidery journals are segmented like a clock, with twelve segments that represent each month. Throughout the year, these segments will fill until your entire embroidery hoop is full of wonderfully unique icons. Don’t be daunted, the more practice you have at coming up with ideas, the quicker they’ll spring to mind.
