I dug back through my old blog and found the date of when I started doing embroidery. I'm so thankful for documenting random things. The big day was December 7, 2010. I learned from Jeny Hart’s Sublime Stitching video. She was stitching a roller derby queen pattern in the video. Coincidently, one year later, I joined derby. 

I will be working on putting together some fun sales, reader guest posts, and other fun ways to celebrate this anniversary. Stay tuned!
