I thought, <em>why not?<\/em> It would be the perfect opportunity to revisit Warsaw while learning her beautiful 3D embroidery techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1 wp-block-paragraph\">So I signed up and travelled from Stockholm to Poland for a weekend, attending her six-hour workshop. Surrounded by incredibly talented women, I began a piece inspired by Nur Rydberg\u2019s (@nurpan_art) enchanting <em>Midsommar Night<\/em> artwork. Since it was my first time learning these 3D techniques, I had no clear vision of how the final piece would evolve. I simply trusted my instincts and let the embroidery guide me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1 wp-block-paragraph\">The piece was started in Warsaw in April 2026 and completed a month later in Sigtuna, Sweden, in May 2026. It grew into a field of wildflowers, celebrating the beauty and magic of Midsummer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1 wp-block-paragraph\">This embroidery holds a special place in my heart for more than one reason. Returning to Poland after 18 years brought back memories of my first visit. And it was during a Midsummer night, also 18 years ago, that I realized Joni\u2014my partner in crime\u2014was the love of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3 wp-block-paragraph\">Below, you\u2019ll find the journey of this piece from its first stitches to its completion, along with the image of Nur Rydberg\u2019s artwork that sparked it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
