For generations, stitching in our family has been a heartfelt way of showing love.

And as life unfolds, we're reminded of something simple and undeniable: we only live once.

One of my favorite quotes is from Mark Twain:

"There isn't time, so brief is life, for bickerings, apologies, heartburnings, callings to account.
There is only time for loving — and but an instant, so to speak, for that."

Because we are mortal, the ordinary becomes extraordinary.

The love you feel right now —
this moment, this version of you —
will never exist again.

Stitching is our way of holding onto that truth.

When we create, the world slows down.
We breathe a little deeper.
We pay closer attention.

Each thread becomes a tribute to something real —

a feeling worth honoring, a memory worth keeping,
a story that deserves to be carried forward.
