In 2021, I began embroidering one 4-inch hoop a month. This embroidery is from June, when I decided to break down the stitches themselves and learn how to direct and blend them smoothly. At this point I switched from using two strands of thread to using only one, since I found I preferred the smaller resolution. I started with the dark blue on the bottom, and could see improvement by the time I got to the lightest blue at the top.
