Most of my designs start as ideas in my head. From there, I usually make a few sketches, experimenting with shapes, lines, and how the embroidery might sit within the frame.
Las Palmas began this way too. My first stitched version didn’t feel quite right, so I reworked the design and stitched it again until it matched the vision I had in my head — quiet, grounded, and warm.
This process of trying, adjusting, and rethinking isn’t unusual. Rosa went through several iterations before the final design emerged as well. It’s part of what I love about slow, thoughtful hand embroidery: each stitch and detail is chosen with care.
By the time a design is finished, it’s shaped not just by the original idea but by all the small adjustments made along the way. Those iterations are what give each piece its personality and intentionality.
Las Palmas is the result: soft, warm, and grounded. A subtle statement made with careful attention and hand-stitched detail.
