#52tagshannemade Week 1
I am participating in Anne Brooke’s #52tagshannemade #sew4thesoul slow stitch challenge for 2021. Week One’s theme is “all white”.
Slow Stitching
I used the process of slow stitch / stitch meditation to make an example piece for my embroidery guild. I call it “What is luck?”.
#InkyArtSchool
I doodled alongside Johanna Basford in her recent Inky Art School and made postcards. I also experimented with different coloring methods.
Sydney Pouch: Porch
I made another Sydney Pouch, this time reminding me of sitting in my gramma and grampa’s screened in porch up on the hill.
Sydney Pouch: Garden
I made another Sydney Pouch by Roxy Creations, this time a yellow garden theme with a different method of construction.
Stitch Club: Collier
As part of TextileArtist.org Stitch Club, Jennifer Collier inspired me to stitch a paper glove.
Sydney Pouch: Mosaic
I used the Sydney Pouch pattern by Roxy Creations to make this little collaged pouch.
Egyptian Pattern Darning
I finished a bookmark based on a historical Egyptian pattern darning design by Lin Vandenberg.
Stitch Club: Ferguson
As part of TextileArtist.org Stitch Club, Ali Ferguson inspired me to create a (slightly junk-journal inspired) hand-bound sketchbook using a mix of pages and embellishments.
Fabric + Cord = Bowl
I got a case of the Crafties and had to make a small fabric-covered cord bowl.
Needlemaking
I link to a short video about how needles and pins are made with modern technology.
Wild Olive: Summer Reading Tote
I sewed up a tote bag from Wild Olive’s Summer Reading Stitch Along using Robin Pickens’ Abby Rose fabric collection.
Stitch Club: Colella
As part of TextileArtist.org Stitch Club, Jodi Colella inspired me to create a set of fabric charms.
Stitch Club: Kaner
As part of TextileArtist.org Stitch Club, Sabine Kaner inspired me to create an abstract design based on crumpled paper.
Stitch Club: Stapley
As part of TextileArtist.org Stitch Club, Vinny Stapley inspired me to create a panel with a dune grass motif using a lacey neutral color palette.
Hoop-D-Do Challenge
My embroidery guild always has an annual challenge of some type and this year was our “Hoop-D-Do” project, whereby we were to create a work using specific stitches to be displayed in the hoop itself. My display of flowers in a “wood” bowl speaks the 70s to me. And, as usual, I didn’t stick to the rules well and added my own flare – ha!
Stitch Club: Henderson
As part of TextileArtist.org Stitch Club, Ailish Henderson inspired me to create a mixed media portrait of my sweet javanese cat.
Felt Ornament: J
I made a felt ornament in the shape of the letter J for a friend. I was inspired by a letter R given to me, which hails from Mexico.
Locket Pincushion
I was recently given this beautifully elegant carved vintage locket, and I turned it into my travel pin cushion.
