Choices are our power. Good or evil. Inspirational or dreaded. Collaborative or authoritative. Easy or complex. Influential or coerced. Courageous, bold, ambitious, daring, gallant, spirited, heart-felt. The outcome of the choices we make throughout our lifetime impacts not only ourselves, but our families, our community, and our entire world. Every choice we make bolsters the essence of who we are. When our right to make choices is taken from us, we are resentful, sometimes internalizing our anger, and sometimes exploding in rebellion. At other times, we may have an anxiety-provoking choice-overload when faced with too many options, or, a giddy feeling when there is a plethora of fun and exciting options. When we are bold we can make choices that change the world, as well as our place in it. Be bold. Dive off the cliff with us, choose some colors and some stitches, and tell us what the consequences are of the choices in your life, how you make them, and who you choose to be and why.

Be a Part of the Challenge
The Stitch-at-Home Challenge was conceived by San Francisco School of Needlework and Design (SNAD) as a way to encourage and inspire people to stitch. This is not a competition but a personal challenge. We provide the inspiration and you may use any needlework technique or combination of techniques in order to make a piece of textile art. Anyone at any level of stitching expertise may participate.
Each challenge culminates with an exhibition and this year our challenge exhibitions will go online and be shared on our website and social media channels. You can email us a photograph of your entry to be included in the exhibition.

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'
'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.
'I don't much care where -' said Alice.
'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.
'- so long as I get SOMEWHERE,' Alice added as an explanation.
'Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, 'if you only walk long enough.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
