Embroidery is just drawing with thread. Except the undo button is a seam ripper and forty-five minutes of your life.

This wildflower hoop has about four thousand stitches in it. French knots for the tiny flowers. Satin stitch for the leaves. A long-and-short stitch blend on the petals that took three attempts because I kept choosing the wrong shade of coral.

The right shade of coral, by the way, is the fourth one you try. Always.
