Needlepoint is having its resurgence and given the current the digital age, it couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. Working with your hands—especially when it involves a repetitive action—has been proven to lower levels of anxiety. This hobby is fairly easy to take up—starting with the basic continental stitch. Plus, there are more advanced techniques that will keep you interested and learning. Below, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite floral canvases that prove April showers aren’t the only things bringing May flowers—and these timeless beauties last well beyond the summer months.
