In the grand and glorious state of Ohio, you'll find rolling farmlands, bustling cities, and the world's biggest collection of corn-themed jokes. But there's something else that makes Ohio extraordinary. It's a state filled with kids who have an unmatched passion for embroidery. Yes, you heard right, embroidery! The kind of cool needle and thread stuff that usually only grandmas are known for. They're not just any kids, they're the "Stitch Wizards," as they call themselves. Meet our heroic stitcher, Ellie "the Embroidery Empress". Ellie is an imaginative ten-year-old with strawberry blonde hair, freckles as numerous as the stars, and a knack for turning simple thread into stunning masterpieces. She's the queen bee of this buzzing hive of creativity, leading her group with a needle that seems to dance in her hands. Ellie and the Stitch Wizards don't just embroider napkins and handkerchiefs, oh no! They create dragons with threads of fire, mermaids with silk seaweed hair, and even a colossal octopus with thread-like tentacles that seem like they might wriggle off the fabric at any moment. They laugh, they stitch, and they transform embroidery into an adventure. Every weekend, they gather at the Great Ohio Stitchathon, where they compete against each other to see who can create the most spectacular embroidery. And though there are winners and losers, everyone leaves with a big smile, a full heart, and a piece of art they're proud of. Ohio may not be the first place that springs to mind when you think of embroidery, but Ellie and her Stitch Wizards are out to change that, one stitch at a time.
