I absolutely love stitching along with you while you chat. Truly it's like sitting with a friend -balm for the soul. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us!
My pleasure 😊
You are unbelievably talented. You ability to talk to the camera as if we were in the room is amazing. Love your channel
Thank you! I used to give in person talks and workshops when I lived in England, so I do indeed try to imagine you all sitting there, instead of the camera. I am so pleased it's coming across. ❤
That’s the beauty of having you on video it’s so nice to see your face and hear your voice and know that we can come back to any video at any time and do the piece of work without worrying that we’re trying to keep up because it’s a one shot workshop so I’m very grateful for that thank you very much for the work you put into producing these videos and coming up with all this wonderful stuff to Stitch 💖💝💖
My pleasure ❤
I am learning so many new things and the direction are easy to follow. Thank you for doing these
I love your inspirational thinking and ideas. Thank you ❤ And I love the comments from everyone, giving a feeling of being part of a magical ‘tribe’ ❤
Thank you and me too regarding the tribe ❤️❤️❤️
Your channel reminds me a bit of Kate at The Last Homely House who also has a popular you tube channel focused on her quilting and farm life mostly. You both have soothing voices. Plus marvelous offerings. Thanks for your sharing so generously.
Thank you I love Kate's channel though I am not really that kind of quilter anymore, so I take that as a huge compliment ❤
Monday mornings are now a highlight of my week. Here in the Haute Vienne near to you we also had a mouse. The cat, three dachshunds and a rescued French hunting hound failed in their duties, so I caught it and rehomed it near to a recycling point. I hope the sweet thing has survived. Meanwhile the loir continue to clog dance in the walls. This week’s inspiration is lovely. I have no doubt will be some truly interesting pieces shown on the Facebook page. I love your chatty introduction and snoring furry. And am so looking forward to the bag videos too. Housework will be on pause (again 😂)
Housework is over rated! And yes, so relate to the clog dancing loir... 😂
I enjoy your stories so much while watching you stitch. Your finished pieces so pretty. I'm learning so much. Thank you for introducing new cultural ways of stitching fabrics together...so interesting.
We had a huge amount of rain a couple of weeks ago which prompted a mouse to find his way into our dry house in the basement. My cat is an excellent mouser it appears. She caught it, brought it upstairs and was heading straight toward me all happy. I mistakenly thought she had taken a Christmas ornament off the tree and bent down to take it out of her mouth….and touched the dead mouse! I hear they like to bring their “treasures” to their favorite person.
Interesting your page about diversity of uses for fabrics- thank you! Slow stitch is my style!
Thank you, so happy you like slowstitch, hugs ❤️
I noticed Stella right away in your special chair..so precious 🐩 this is my second viewing. I enjoy your intro and speaking as you sew..calming ❤
Thank you ♥️
at 45 mins the snoring is delightful....what a fab dog!
I know! She's one of a kind 😉😂
I’ve tried lots of different stitch projects over the years, including quilting and embroidery, but more recently slow stitch has become a real favourite. However, once I found your channel, I feel like your style is where I want to be. Thank you so much for taking the time to make such wonderful and inspiring videos. I now have a whole list of projects to try! X (North Devon, UK)
My pleasure ❤
Me too
Wow that is absolutely amazing seagull!
Love your jumper!
I absolutely love this. Your videos bring me so much happiness. Today I watched this while doing some hand quilting, and you kept me such good company. Soon I’ll make this prompt, and maybe one day I’ll make myself a Facebook page so that I can join your stitching community. I knew a cat once who would catch mice outside, bring them alive into the bathtub and keep them there. He would then play with them a while. He never killed them. More of a “hey look what I brought!” Goodness.
Happy you are enjoying the videos, oh cats, eh? I love them but they can be mean creatures. ❤️
I have the same love of fabrics as you do! One time a fabric store had a 70 percent off sale of unusual fabrics. I used all of my Christmas money (years ago) and bought so much fabric that I could roll in it all. Which I did! lol
😂😂😂 heaven!
LOL. Years ago I worked in a fabric store that had some flood damage and they decided to sell all of the fabric in the store including the non damaged for 90% off. I went a little crazy buying and I had a roll in it all 😂
@@pegsvintagethings6222 lol
Watching and stitching whilst stitching last weeks project. Thank you yet again for your company and inspirational ideas. I knit my own socks and as they wear out I darn them…I was inspired to do this because I was so lucky to acquire my granny’s darning mushroom…it’s one of my special treasures ❤
You are one of my favorite youtube stitching artists. ♥️ I am grateful for your information and talent to share with us!!
I so look forward to your Monday videos, it’s like having coffee with a friend whilst learning. Diversity idea is brilliant, look forward to starting mine
Thank you Jean, hope you enjoy ❤
What a neat idea! My little brain is having fun thinking up what I"ll do.
I like your journal and inspired me to make the same. Thank you!❤️
When cats bring a mouse in it means they love you and are bringing you a gift. This was a lovely video and I enjoy listening to you and be inspired. I am trying to finish a very intricate crochet blanket and can't wait to do some stitching after that.
So Barney must have loved me a lot to bring me live ones 😁❤️
I've heard this too! They think you're terrible at catching mice, so they bring you some ❤
I agree! When we brought home our newborn son Logan, our cat Eleanor brought a dead mouse or mole to the door every day for weeks. Then i guess she decided I was feeding him alright, and she stopped hunting for him. But she still cane running every time he cried for a while. 🐺💜
@@katethompson2818 oh bless her! ❤️❤️❤️
@@katethompson2818 that's adorable 😍
Thanks for another wonderful video, and for all that you're sharing . I can't wait for the next one :) Lovely to see you again x
I love this idea of stitching diversity and showing the differences and similarities. This has been another delightful visit with you and am looking forward to many more as I am getting better acquainted with your work and philosophies. I so often wish for many more years of learning new crafts, ideas and projects beyond my almost 84 years on this planet.
Thank you. Indeed, we never have enough time. ❤️
What a treat to see this notification. Enjoyed watching with a cuppa, feel more relaxed now setting off for work 🤗
Really appreciated your comments re Boro - something i have only heard of recently. I have many videos to catch up on. You are so talented and just a delight to listen to. 😊
Thank you so much Margaret, I will be revisiting Boro, I think it deserves a week all to itself ❤️
I never knew that you weren’t suppose to sew the seam allowance into the quilt piece. Huh? Now I know. Thank you for that piece of information. I will definitely use it going forward.
I had fun learning to do sashiko and parts of scraps for a lovely sheet in your journal.. it relaxes me and i have a progress with slow stitching- thank you, Kathryn!
My pleasure Sandra, I am so pleased you find it relaxing ❤️
I am blessed to have my grandmothers darning mushroom that I watched her mending all the family socks a lot of them were handmade by her I still have a pair or two and I’m 77 and very blessed🥰
Hello from Brisbane Australia, just discovered your channel last week and I did my first slow stitching project based on your week one tutorial. I love listening to you talk as you work, it feels like having company 😊. Thank you
Thank you for these videos, Katherine. What fun! My biggest takeaway and very sage words from you are “you be you”. I’m trying! Ruth
I am coming in late to the party, so to speak, however, have started this project and catching up! I love your personality and I said to by husband, there is something very soothing about listening to you chat about. It makes me smile and occasionally laugh out loud. Loving this process and mindfulness. For the first time in forever, I have pulled out the silk lining of my grandmothers fur coat and the silk from my fathers ties! Bring back so many memories. Thank you for your time, spending time with us, and traveling to City Hall to upload these videos. I'm excited to continue this journey with you and the others. Well done and bless you.
Thank you and welcome. ❤️
Awake early for a change. Excited for this week’s challenge and already going through my fabrics in my head thinking of what to use.
Absolutely blown away by your seagull! X
thank you 😊 have a lovely day ❤️
Goodmorning Katherine! I feel like i have finally enrolled in Stitch University with your channel, so happy about that! My grandmother was a professional embroidery artist and I have beautiful memories of watching her work on her pieces (some of which i still have in my house). Unfortunately she did not teach me her skills and at the time it did not even occur to me that i could also stitch myself. But it is all coming to me now! She would have loved your channel, i am sure! Thanks again🍀💖Machteld
You are welcome Machteld, if it is a university, it's the nice kind with no exams at the end of the year 😂❤️
Thank you for another peaceful, inspiring hour Kathryn and it's so good to see you!
I had a diverse background because my Mum sewed clothes and did embroidery and my Nana loved crochet. Being a Victorian she did 'micro stitch' doilies with a whisper fine hook. She also knitted everything, especially endless socks with no pattern and could turn a heel without looking.
One of her last projects was a school cardigan for me, perfect except for one sleeve which was 2 yards long and still going. That's when we realized there was something wrong with Nanny but she was perfectly happy, bless her. 💕
Your seagull quilt is gorgeous - such movement and the colours are wonderful!
Looking forward to the next bag!
Mary x
Oh your poor Nanny and the ever growing sleeve... Thank you for your kind words the bag part one at least will be up on Wednesday. Hope you are warm and it's not too windy ❤
@@k3n.clothtales No wind but quite a lot of snow! It doesn't usually hang around for long because we have a maritime climate. We shall see tomorrow morning...
UPDATE! Just checked the Met Office. We had a yellow weather warning of snow and ice for Sunday and Monday. It's now been extended to Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday! The panic buyers will have cleared the shelves of milk and bread. And the ferries have been cancelled. This is when you really know you're on an island!
Oh no! Hunker down, hope you have plenty of supplies. Makes me sad when people panic buy, like during the pandemic. So thoughtless 😞❤️
I’m looking forward to seeing more darning related project from you !
And your french is lovely ! Your « r » sounds especially, most non-native speaker tend to struggle with those, but yours sound very natural. 😊
Oh merci beaucoup tu es trop gentille ☺️❤️
❤Thanks for another great lesson. Just finished my third piece! It is a memory sample.
For 30 years my creative passion was machine embroidery. My then 8 year old grandaughter sewed scraps on fabric and I used a test design from one of the dresses I made when Ella was one. Now Ella is in her early teens and lives out of state. Beautifully diverse memories. ❤
I saw you darning and again remembered my grandmother whom, as I told you, darned socks till her dying day at the age of 96!
I never thought of including that in my stitching and that was a lovely idea. It would look great in one of my books.
Stitching by hand was the first thing I learnt from my mother and the second was crochet. I still do both and I still love both.
I saw Stella on the chair and I heard her snoring 😂! So cute!
I am city girl with a country soul. If I could I would live in the country, so I loved that story of the little mouse you saved. I save spiders. Whenever I see one, I gently pick it up and put it in my balcony!
I’m already loving that bag! I love bags! Can’t wait 😊🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😘💚♥️💙💜🧡💛❤️💗🖤
I thought you might like the bag, also I am about to upload the promised video of me twining, think, hope it makes it clearer. I even managed to do a bit left handed 😂 my Granny used to put spiders outside and tell them not to come back and she swore they listened if you asked nicely. ❤
@@k3n.clothtales Your Granny was a bit like me then 😊
This is so good for learners. Thank you
Lovely! I would like to make the bag if I can Katherine. We have mice here in N I but our lovely little velvet died in 2019 just before our eldest brother Chris lost his battle with cancer. We had velvet for 23 years and she was a great mouser and tried to teach every puppy to hunt but without success! You are very talented Katherine.... your seagull is stunning! We are very fortunate to have you teach us, thank you. ❤
Thank you I am so sorry for your loss of both Velvet and Chris. It is my pleasure to share with you all ❤
Hello from the country! We live in rural Texas USA and understand the mouse issue! We have 3 barn cats that keep the population down. I must say that a mouse in the toilet would put me over the edge!😂 I’m really enjoying your videos and I’m leaving so much about things I’ve never heard of. I’m a quilter from a long line of quilters, but am also enjoying slow stitching! Actually I’m loving it as I am a bit of a perfectionist and I love embroidery but the slow stitching is very freeing! Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure ❤ must say that even though there's a cap over the pipe now, I do always look before I sit 😂
@@k3n.clothtales I do too, I always worry about snakes!
@@michelinecrouch8682 oh my a snake! Of course you have way more dangerous things over there than we do. 😉
I love your work and the way you're talking, i learned quilting years ago,and i stop for quite sometime, recently i find your channel, makes me want to start again,im from taiwan
Hello and welcome, I hope you are inspired to stitch again ☺️
I enjoyed spending my morning coffee with you and your stitching. I've put together the cloth for my cover and will begin on that today. Thank you for sharing your many talents and stories. Enjoy your day! Catherine
Good evening I loved watching you a little weaving little blanket there that you made it’s adorable and it came just in time. I’ve been worried over something going on in my family and it just took my mind off of what I was thinking and and I want to thank you for that and look forward to your next project. I love hand work but my eyes are terrible that I only have 30% of vision now I have macular degeneration and, I had shot in my eyes today and I had bleeding with the first shot. You know it’s just goes on and on but anyway thank you again and I’ll be looking forward to your next project.😊
Hello again Marion I am so pleased you found me and are enjoying the videos. I wish you all the best for your poor eyes. Hugs ❤️
Очень красиво сделано ,чайка как живая, у вас золотые руки.Привет с России❤❤❤
Thank you ❤
We call it the loo too, here in Australia, and we call appliqué ap-li-kay withe a slight emphasis on ap.
Kathryn I love the cat and mouse stories..❤ and the edible door mouse..poor thing is right. Live in the country, and know all about the mice.
I just subscribed for the stories. My hands shake too much to hand sew without poking holes in my fingers, but it used to be one of my favourite things to do in my spare time.
Welcome I am so sorry you can't hand sew anymore but happy that you enjoy the stories. Hugs ❤️
Again Katherine, I’ve been stitching along with you as you stitched your pieces, however I’m working on a very big cross stitch tonight and will sew my week 3 piece perhaps tomorrow. I also darn socks and mend our clothes and when I was younger and we had our sheep farm, I would even turn the collars on my husband’s work shirts. So satisfying. When was a young girl, my mother would take me to the city (Sydney) and when we needed to go the the rest room in the major city department store, we would need to put a penny in the slot in the toilet door before we could enter. I think the pennies paid the cleaner’s wage. Anyhow to this day I still say, I need to spend a penny when I need to use the toilet. I often have to explain to young people what I mean. Out in the outback I’ve heard the toilet called a thunder box or the long drop. This was basically a deep hole in the ground with a wooden toilet seat built over the top. No septic or sewerage systems out there.
Blessings Gail.🙋🏼♀️🇦🇺
Hello Gail, my Granny and my Auntie Lily both used to say 'spend a penny ' as well. 😁❤️
I loved this week, I copied what you did because learning with you is such good fun, didn’t have any silk so picked some thin shiny bits ❤
Какое удовольствие смотреть как Вы работаете! Спасибо за Ваши замечательные идеи! 🎉
My pleasure ❤
You are so right about respecting boro for what it was originally, but surely all stitching began as a utilitarian process, to make necessary items of clothing or household goods and then to individualise them or ornament them, and each style should be respected for it's origins. I love the way you create and listening to you chat about your processes and your life. Thank you for sharing your expertise, ideas and life with us. I found you on the recommendation of Marion's World
Welcome, you are right about stitching of course. I love watching Marion. ❤️
Love your channel! Really want to see some darning videos. Something I’ve never tried. Thanks!
I am planning a series on mending, darning will feature. No shortage of things to mend here 😂❤️
So enjoying your videos. I so love the feeling of the things when I stitch. I always said to my husband, "no, feeeeeeel it!" I also live in a rural area. We have little mice that visit the inside of our house. Once I saw it's cute little face peak in between the brick and wall. Eye rolls and laughs. Our cat is not a good mouser either. I have 4 dogs and one of them is probably better than the cat.
😁 happy you are enjoying the videos 😊
A lovely start to the week on a very cold day in Saskatchewan. Thank you.
I’m so excited by your 4 patch approach; I’m going to make a king size quilt out of 4patches. I was agonizing about the seams and doing them in rows as it seems every quilter I’ve watched on UA-cam does. As far as tearing fabric, I prefer it to cutting as I get much straighter material that way. I’m using coarse linen for my backing on the 52 weeks patches because I can pull a thread from the fairly open weave and get a straight line. Linen is so hit or miss as to whether it will tear. Excited to think thru how I will make my own square this week. Ty so much for leading us along!
if I am making quilts of squares, I tend to start in the middle and work out. I have one in particular made with my Dad's shirts and hankies made that way. I will share it one day. And you are absolutely right about linen. ❤️
@@k3n.clothtalesooh I’d love to see that quilt! I bought the squares for my quilt years ago; they’re vintage sheets and a bundle of chenille for texture. Then I promptly hated using my sewing machine and it languished. I had an acquaintance who was a miracle worker in making ornate period clothing tell me one day that you could just hand stitch anything. She’d done so in a magnificent dress outfit…so I decided eventually I’d get up the nerve to do my quilt hand stitching. Then I stumbled across one of your videos and got the bug to take up the needle again (I work in wool taking a fleece to finished article usually) so here I am enjoying the process and not agonizing about the product as much. It’s helping me put into practice the idea of embracing imperfection.
I will share it one day, maybe in one of the weekly slowstitch videos. Yes I guess everything was hand stitched before sewing machines were invented. 😉 So happy you stumbled in ❤️
Looking forward to the sock darning. I need a darning mushroom, but I have a pair of wool socks that need repaired heels, and I hope I can lengthen their lives
Coming soon! 😉❤️
Slow stitch is a wonderful book. I must get mine out for inspiration
Thank you for another fun week of stitching enjoyment! I just finished the last week the day before the new week started. LOL. These look lovely in my new journal too. Thanks for the fun inspiration again. The bag video looks very promising!!
My pleasure, part one of the bag will be up today 😁
OMG. I just love the bag stitching and the yummy liner cloth and the little pocket. Just yummy.@@k3n.clothtales
Katherine, a suggestion - if you put the name of the stitching behind the pieces your future ancestors will know what the stitches are. Your book is a wonderful idea and it could be mysterious - like photo albums full of faces and no names. Look forward to your next ideas.
That is a lovely idea thank you ❤
Very calming and educational. Thanks for the beauty you create.
I love the 4 countries reference.
The seagull is beautiful and so is the bag. I can’t wait to get on with week three project. Thank you.
my pleasure ☺️
Our experience has been to get a good mouser the cat needs to be female. The males are just too lazy! Love your choices of examples of diversity. It’s very thought provoking that needle and thread are used all around the world by millions of different hands in one common purpose and has been for thousands of years. 😊
I think you are right, my neighbour has two females and they are great mousers 😉
I do enjoy your videos, the inspiration, the company and the chats😃 thank you
Thank you for sharing once again. Love these pieces.
Love the seagull and yes I have that book in my collection, such an organic and natural way to play with stitch and cloth, just like you and some of us here that love where you are coming from.
Love Love Love it xx Hugz from NZ xx
Thank you hugs to you too ❤️
I do love the way fabric changes as it is stitched. Once I am finished stitching I usually think - I've totally changed this fabric. And I love the way it feels. Thank you for the tip on cutting a square 😊
My pleasure 😊
Some day tell us your full fiber journey, please. How did you get started, has it tended to be more utilitarian or more decorative, or...? How/where do you find/make the time to stitch on a regular basis? Did you learn sewing from family members? Do they share your love of fiber also? Those kinds of things! Thank you for your generosity in sharing these videos with us.
I will do, thank you ❤️
What an interesting video. I so enjoy all your stories as you create - the little mouse in the loo, the torn skirt from climbing over the stile, how the Indian ladies do the Kantha stitch. You got me thinking about my grandmother's and my mother's quilts! I need to get them out again. I enjoyed when you chatted about using the different types of needlework, but I think I will follow your examples (the best I can manage) because it will remind me of what I learned about them. I so enjoy your videos🌷
Thank you ❤
Mondays are my favourite day now. Looking forward to a rummage in my stash tomorrow. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
That is lovely, happy rummaging ❤
It was so nice to “see” you before your video… as you were telling us the story about the mouse, something was scratching in my wall! I wish I could be as kind sounding as you when you’re talking about the little creatures, but I don’t like them, not one bit. 😂😩 go figure! 😂
I am across the pond, and I have to tell you my family love the English accent and we pretend to be English when we all get together… it’s so fun and I’ve managed to pick up and use a few of your expressions! Love your vids! Going to play along and post on my channel, I’ll tag you. Oxox
Thank you! I would love to hear you all with your English accents, I bet it's an absolute hoot! Looking forward to seeing your channel ❤
Love it!
Loved this video!! Learned lots🤗🤗. So looking forward to your next videos showing us how to make that absolutely beautiful bag!!😍😍. Thank You so much for these videos. I have learned so much👏🏻👏🏻👍😋🫶🏻🫶🏻
My pleasure Brenda, part one of the bag will hopefully be up on Wednesday ❤
Cute doggy
Beautiful seagull
Thank you 😊
I remember at school we were told loo came from the French l’eau - in England after the Conqest when they emptied their night potties out of the bedroom window they used to call out ‘Gardez l’eau’ to warn the unwary below!
I have heard that too 😁❤️
Thank you!! Inspired once again by you.❤
Loo in North America = can.
Oh yes I think I have heard that in movies 😂❤
Wow, the seagull is an amazing piece of Art, absolutely beautiful. Do you ever worry that the mice will nest in your fabric stash? I learn something new with every video I watch. You just taught me how to darn, always heard the term but never had anyone show me how. Thank you
It hasn't happened yet. 🤞 There were signs of mice on my long shelf (poo!) Last year when we had a major infestation but so far so good this year. ❤️
Kathryn that was such a wonderful session. I loved seeing you when you introduced this pattern. I’m sure all of us feel we know you a little better by seeing you as well as hearing you. I’m intrigued by the fact that two creatives that I follow moved from England to France. I follow Diane Anton who is a paint artist. Is France where all the talented people go? 😂 I kept watching all afternoon yesterday to see when you would post this lesson (in Australia it came in about 4ish pm). And I found that already more than 400 people had watched. And now as I write this it is 6,614. It will be interesting over time to see how many more people are drawn to your creative encouragement. So, excellent video and such a fun project with diversity. Thank you again.
Thank you Joyce, it's amazing how much attention I am getting, I can't quite believe it 😁❤️❤️❤️
Another inspiring video thank you
Lovely inspiring video Kathryn, a source of silk could be thrifted men’s ties..or ones your husband does use anymore. ❤🇨🇦
That was great to see how you folded the 4 quilt patches together, like a windmill. I got quite confused about what to do with seams recently when having a go at putting irregular rectangles together. I think this might sort me, and, by gum, I might even write it down in my new sewing journal, lest I forget the windmill trick! Thank you.
My pleasure, and thank you for saying 'by gum', reminded me of my Auntie Lily ❤❤❤
Love your bird!
Beautiful x
I love how some of the pieces of fabric you use tell a story. Looking at your book makes me wonder if you have seen Susan Taylor Brown on UA-cam who makes just because books. I find those really inspiring and I'm making those. I'm sure I can use the techniques I'm learning from you inside one.
I don't know her, I will have to look her up 😊
Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
😊❤🎉
There was a movie where one of the characters often said "I love the sound of breaking glass"
My daughters used to watch it over and over again.
I am thoroughly enjoying my Monday mornings with Kathryn and a hot cup of coffee. Being on the east coast of the U.S., your videos are waiting for me when I get out of bed. I make a coffee and head to the computer for an hour of watching you stitch a new wonderful project for the week and feel like I'm sitting with a friend wittering over coffee and stitching. Delightful. Being retired, I do not need to run off to work, so Monday has now become Slow Stitch day. I love it. Thank you !!!! I think I shall do Boro this week. From your other videos, I have been inspired to give it a try, so I may make a few samples of Boro for my project this week..... And it was so delightful to see Stella this morning and hear all about Fredfred... the non-mouser. I've been blessed to share my life with dogs and cats for the past 7 decades..... and... yes... some of my cats have been excellent mousers and others.... well.... kind of like Fredfred.... LOL
So happy you are enjoying the videos Susan ❤ funny how cats differ, my neighbour has two females and they are both excellent mousers so perhaps Fredfred has just delegated responsibility 😂
A small addition to your narrative regarding usage of tiny scissors needs to be shared. I was the unluckiest girl, got pregnant without the benefit of marriage, so with proper low self esteem, I was lucky enough to have a wedding. So, to be as small as I could self esteem-wise, I cut out and sewed my outfits for fitting my growing belly--- using buttonhole scissors, very like your tiny slow stitching scissors. Had baby, got very healthy and am ok now at 82 years. Still have those scissors. Have no idea how I did it.
Hello Donna, you are a strong woman, thank you for sharing your story. ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing. The trick to weave through your darning threads that I use is to weave them the threads with the back end of the needle. That way I don't have to bother changing needles, but I'm also less likely to catch one of the darning threads while weaving through them.
thank you that's a great tip ♥️
You have truly given this digital interface a comforting, mindful influence. Thank you. I am slow stitching in Seattle.
Thank you, and of course that makes me think of the movie Sleepless in Seattle 😁❤️
Another excellent video. Tad bit behind on my weekly stitching, but will catch up this weekend. This video hit home…specifically the darning. I never knew exactly how it was done…we live in a society nowadays where people waste and throw away and buy anew sadly….but as a little girl I remember my grandma darning at the kitchen table…only she did not have a darning mushroom (never seen one)…she always darned on top of a light bulb that no longer would light. Thanks for showing us this one….I shall darn all the socks from here on out. Loving this channel so much…I look forward to Mondays to watch….and then on Fridays when I am off of work and home alone to stitch my heart out! ❤
Thank you. I am happy to see that there is some awareness raising of mending and against fast fashion etc. I hope to make more videos about mending techniques in the future. It's something I feel strongly about. 😁❤️
love all of it
Thanks!
Thank you much appreciated ❤️
Interesting prompt. Love the mini quilt. Looking forward to the new bag tutorial. Many thanks for sharing. x Blessings x Mariana UK xx
Oh my goodness! I am learning so much in this weekly challenge ~ perfect for a newbie stitcher! Now I understand how four pieces were joined underneath a kimono arm that I recently mended for my husband ~ thank you k3n, this weekly challenge is quite inspiring, and I treated myself to the book you shared. P. S. Loved the seagull!
Thank you, enjoy the book, I am sure you will ❤
Kathryn merci for the feel good stitching and projects! I appreciate that you draw to using normal fabrics! I love Kantha stitching! Thank you ❣️
Thank you for this wonderful video. I guess you have had it mentioned that the camera kept blurring to correct. Thank you again
yes, thank you it happens now and then, I am trying to work it out, my apologies if it's annoying 🤭

Good evening. I'm inspired to begin a slow stitch journey, thank-you. I'm not sure where you are, but our 2 Emmaus 'depots' local to us have wonderful haberdashery counters, with amongst other treasures, lots of buttons, and relatively cheap, too.😊
Thank you, I think there's one in Limoges which is an hour away but I just never go there and wouldn't go that far especially. If I have to go for another reason, I will look for it. ❤️
Such beautiful pieces Kathryn. I will have to spend some time deciding what do for mine. I've always enjoyed stitching from when I made clothes for my dolls as a little girl 😊
I love the story about Barney! I had a kitty named Suzie that used to do the same thing. She liked to drop them at my feet then would get mad when I didn’t chase them 😺
She probably thought you were a very useless cat! 😂❤️
