The story behind Blossom

Marly is also a track coach. When her athletes feel intimidated by a big goal, she asks: "How do you eat an elephant?" The answer: one bite at a time. Blossom is the mascot of that mindset — every big handmade project, every personal record, every goal worth chasing.

One stitch at a time. You've got this.
