Not many people have the patience of sitting in a comfy chair to do some embroidery, and those of us who really take the time out to master the art must be extremely talented!

Although embroidery was a thing in the past, it has made a comeback and many people across the world have begun sharing their masterpieces online. Embroidery doesn't just have to be a stunning piece of art.

It can also be cheeky or creepy (like the extremely disturbing Chucky doll). Either way, embroidery has always been part of our family.

It was in the year 1900 when people realized that embroidery wasn't only for the upper class and that everyone could try their hand and use their skill to propel further if they could. But with the fast-paced lives we live today, we thought that many people gave up embroidery and moved on to other things.

We were wrong and pleasantly surprised!

It's rare to find someone with a passion to create art with threads, hoops, seam rippers, and beading needles. But we're lucky to come across not just one, but 40 different people with an unending love for embroidery!

What you're about to see is going to blow your mind, so buckle up!
