2023 was my first year to finish a stitch journal. I wrote about the project at the beginning of last year in a blog post. I used fabric from an old dress and bright red pearl cotton #8 thread. I started with my word of the year - attune - to bring into harmony. I stitched it in the middle of the journal/piece of fabric to remind myself every day. Then slowly started stitching red circles, one circle for everyday. The first month or so I had a different stitch pattern for each day until I decided to simplify with just a circle - no drawing or template, just organically stitch, each with their own uniqueness. I love having a piece to hold the year. A year of so much.
