      not ignorance at all! and thank you .... I started to create 'wrapping cloths' when my children left home. They were a demonstration of my desire to wrap and protect them. They are generally quite big, think half blanket size. I hope that makes sense?

    Good morning Karen, I’m always so happy to see a video from you. This piece is looking good and the hexie flower garden beautifully edge stitched is a wonderful focal point. The one important thing I have appreciated learning from you is how you draw lazy daisy flowers on fabric to create a vintage feel to the piece. It brings back memories of the first dresser scarves I embroidered as a little girl💕🪡🧵🎉🇨🇦

    Good morning Karen, these artist books are my absolute favorite. I’m very sorry you couldn’t continue with your new course so I will rewatch the old courses I purchased from you. Your stitching is awesome and that is the type of stitching I love to do. I’m going to try to create everything that you have created in classes that I have purchased. I love the stitching on fabric. I won’t be using too much paper and I have to do everything by hand. I can’t tell you how much I love your work and look forward to any classes you offer. Thank you for this video, Kathleen.

I am not new to "Slow Stitching" - to quote the new name for anything hand stitched in my humble opinion, lol - but I am new to making cloth journals etc. I have so many vintage pieces of crochet, hankies, laces, the list goes on. I like the floppyness (for want of a better word) of your gorgeous cloth books. Thank you for sparking my imagination within the world of embroidery and embellishment. I will be visiting you as often as I can. Thank you again for sharing. Love your big fluffy pom pom.
