#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?”.
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.
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!
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.
Gertenbach’s talisman: seashell
I was inspired by Victoria Gertenbach’s cover article on Quilting Arts magazine to create this seashell talisman with embroidery, beads, and a bit of longing for the beach!
Stitch Club: Kelly
As part of TextileArtist.org Stitch Club, Anne Kelly inspired me to create a little booklet of mixed media.
Tiny Bee Mural
I made a tiny felt mural with an embroidered bee and flowers for my gardening friend.
a Cassette Tape
Inspired by an image online, I made a felt cassette tape displayed on a small canvas for my nephew’s birthday.
Stitch Club: Holmes
As part of TextileArtist.org Stitch Club, Cas Holmes inspired me to create a momigami (Japanese method of kneading paper) mixed media landscape.
Stitch Club: Weighton
As part of TextileArtist.org Stitch Club, Haf Weighton inspired me to create a series of medallions representing the theme of “get well”. I used bark-on-wood coasters and fabric collage to highlight the chosen words of each medallion. This piece loosely represents Van Gennep’s rites of passage upon the theme of getting well.
