Making with textiles connects you to something vast—humans across every culture and century have worked with fiber and fabric. You don't join this tradition by having a long line of quilting grandmothers. You join by pulling up a seat at the table and picking up a needle and thread. This meditation helps you recognize the knowledge already living in your hands, understand that textile wisdom is open-access, and feel your place in the universal human practice of making.

Many makers carry a quiet voice that says "I'm not good enough." This meditation helps you remember your inherent creative worthiness—not something earned through skill or output, but something that exists simply because you choose to show up. We'll reconnect with moments when creating felt natural, anchor belonging in your body, and recognize that your particular way of seeing matters.
