I love this piece! What an amazing way to harness anxiety about medical conditions. I used to cross-stitch, but my eyes are not that sharp anymore. I’m happy with embroidery. You inspire me.

Just WOW! Being a human is complex but being a woman is daringly courageous. I read this like I was in a trance, as your experience reminded me of my own bout with fibroids, anemia, infusion treatments and ultimately a hysterectomy in my early 40s. Bless you and I’m glad for you to have some relief. What a beautifully cathartic way to share your story.

Lia, this is stunning. The story and the embroidery and how they weave together. Creating art while being ill as a sacred act. Thank you for sharing this with us. It's divine. xoxo

Exquisite! Such a brilliant way you have of attending to illness Lia.

When we fall apart we can stitch ourselves together again.
