Each design in this set focuses on a single moment — a quiet step forward, a pause at the edge, or a journey into something unknown.
Whether you love fantasy themes, nature-inspired embroidery, or designs that feel a little different from the usual, these pieces are made to stand out both in the hoop and on finished projects.

Soft stitch layers and carefully placed highlights allow the design to feel alive without becoming too dense, making it a standout piece in the collection.
