Stitch Therapy

 

 

An afternoon of machine stitching with strips of fabric wound round some garden twine was just the therapy I needed after a busy week.   I have seen these made by one or two bloggers and I have been wanting to have a go for a while.  Most use chord of some sort to wind their fabric around.  I didn't have any on hand so I used what was available, i.e. garden twine.  I think it worked just fine.


Another weekend is about to unfold.
I hope it is a good one for you.

My Fabric Journal from way back when...

Way back when this blog first began I featured this fabric journal.  (It features in my header above.)

 It has been a work in progress for a while now. So here it is again in its updated format.

 My eldest Grandaughter Chloe, who is six has spent many happy moments enjoying the pages that make up this fabric journal.

Fabric pages, threads, beads, stitches and fabric cords
draw the eye into what else lies amongst these pages!

Making the most of buttons and stitching.

Random machine stitching along with handstitching.
A paper bead wrapped in fibre is stitched onto the corner.

On the cover a variety of handstitching creates texture and outlines the print

already on the fabric. Small beads embellish the flowers.
