What Happens When We Stitch With Intention?

Every stitch carries something: a memory. a wish, a whisper of the day you made it; but when you stitch with intention, something wonderous happens. The thread begins to listen, the fabric begins to speak, your heart sings to your hands, the ordinary becomes a magical, sacred conversation.
What is the Intention that can be imbued into stitches?
Intention that can be breathed into things we create by hand can be described as a way of consciously entering the moment in presence and harmony with the now.
When you stitch with intention, you might:
Dedicate each stitch to a prayer, a person, a hope, a wish...
Let your hands move with your breath, creating rhythm and calm
Infuse the work with protection, healing, remembrance...
Allow the process to become a meditation
Unlike fast machine crafting, intentional hand-stitching asks for slowness, presence, and connection.
In the Enchanted Stitch Sampler Free PDF Gift, you will find an introductory example that opens a door to a space where the magic of intentional fiber arts welcomes you to its endless realms.
While the Enchanted Stitch Sample PDF is created around a Tiny Protection Spell Pattern, emails and comments coming from those who worked with it go so much farther than that. One student wrote to say she hadn’t stitched in over twenty years. Until one evening, she lit a candle, printed the Enchanted Stitch Sampler PDF, and worked in quiet, meditative, mindful presence to stitch the colorful Protection Charm from the pattern onto a piece of linen.
She wrote that while she stitched, she wept, not because it was beautiful (though it was), but because she remembered herself, her love for creating with her hands, her heart's joyous connections to the wonder of magical ways of living. She joined our first live stream journey and continued to deepen her reconnection to her joys and inner heart spaces.
If you want to try this kind of intentional stitching, start simply:
Light a candle, take a few deep, centering breaths
Speak a word of intention aloud: for example, Peace. Trust. Beginnings. Success. Healing. Abundance. etc...
Stitch slowly, without expecting a specific result
Let the work of creating be the experience
