@@ariadneferreira2252 how incredibly kind of you to say 🥰🌸 I’m thrilled you found it so inspiring and would definitely encourage you to make one. Start small and piece it together over time. Totally worth it. Thanks again!
Such a wonderful idea! I've never heard of a "soul book".Creativity n so free-ing! Thanks for sharing! Now I have an idea what to do with my available fabrics!!
Your book turned out absolutely gorgeous, I love it, especially all the blues :) I used a ribbon on my last page to keep the sample pieces moving around too much, perhaps something similar? Thank you so much for sharing and take care :) - Jeanette
How lovely of you to say, Jeanette. It means the world that you would take the time to watch 😊🤗 I love the suggestion of the ribbon and remember your page in particular. Also sorry about the slowness of this reply.
This book is beyond incredible! I wish I could be your daughter for a year, spending four hours a day with you, learning how to do this! your skill overwhelms me, and I think of how much you could teach people who were interested!!
Oh Angie, how incredibly generous of you to say! Thank you so much 🥰🤗TBH I'm very new to slow stitching and was learning as I went. If it helps I usually let the fabric colour and design guide me in how I stitched the page. I also find a lot of inspiration on UA-cam and Instagram. There are many talented creators out there. Give it a go, you may be surprised by what you're able to create xx
Thank you for showing your completed book. I have just found this site and really want to have a go. Your book is amazing and really demonstrates the amount of work that has gone into it. A pleasure to look at.
Oh Mary-Liz, thank you very much. I'm so happy you've enjoyed watching. True, there was a lot of work but when you enjoy the process you hardly notice the time and effort. All the best for your own creation.
Oh Jane, what a wonderful comment! 🥰 I struggle so much with perfection and am often happiest when I don’t try so hard to achieve it. It’s a tough thing to learn and I’m so happy I can inspire that in you. All the very best with “loosening the reins” 🤗
Mel, this is a true piece of art and thank you for sharing 💙🪡 your attention to detail is amazing and each page is unique and gorgeous 🪡🧵 so many wonderful ideas and I just adore the blue and all the lace, along with all yiur amazing stitches !! How long did it take you to complete ? Xoxo Barbie 😘
You are too kind 🥰🤗 I couldn't say exactly how long it took to complete. The challenge was set over several months and I would spend maybe 4 or 5 hours a week on it. Mind you a lot of time was spent trying to decide which fabrics and trims to use 😆
You are a talented lady. Your creativity, your imagination, your patience have contributed to you making a work of art. I'm just starting to slow stitch but I will try very hard to imitate you. Congratulations on a beautiful piece of art. TFS
Hi Monique, I really appreciate you stopping by and that some of my work can inspire you 🥰 You only need to know a few basic stitches to create something beautiful. Remember, to trust yourself and that there are no mistakes 😊 All the best.
This book is so delicious! I especially love the front cover, two-page spreads, and the cohesiveness of each spread design. Thank you for sharing. I’ve subscribed and I’m eager to watch your other videos. To keep the swatches in place, one idea is to add a “flip-out” of sheer fabric the full size of the left page. It could be hinged on the left….with a tie or hooks or Velcro in the area between the left and right pages.
Hi Minka, thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. I LOvE the idea of a sheer cover for the swatches. Thank you! 🥰 I haven’t been stitching lately because of some life disruptions but I’m hoping to get back into soon x
How lovely of you to say. I’m so happy to hear that something I’ve created is inspiring to others. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment 🥰
A gorgeous interactive piece of art. I am deciding on a 2022 challenge.. how many hours do you think you spent creating this amazing took? Many a thanks, Meeri
My I suggest that you make a X across the sample page it could have buttons and embroidery. To secure the page .Im sure whatever you do is going to be beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your lovely book. On your fabric index page you could use a horizontal belly band across the page sewn in the middle of your book and held with some press studs on the left hand side which will hold your fabric swatches down when fastened. Then unclip and flip open the band when you want to go through the swatches... 😄
Oh Wendy I love that idea! A belly band would be perfect and it seems silly that I didn't think of it in the first place. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and leave your lovely comment, I really appreciate it 😘🤗
Wow! I am bowled over by this, it's just so beautiful, full of gorgeous pieces and sweet details, I've never seen anything like it, love it, thanks for sharing your work.
Thank you so very much Judy 🥰 I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and send a lovely comment. I hope you're enjoying your book. Sorry for such a slow reply!
This is just gorgeous Melanie. I've got the last two pages of my book to complete so I know the effort that's gone in to your beautiful piece. Congratulations from Scotland! X
Oh Anna, thank you so much! It was a truly fulfilling project so really didn't feel like effort at all. I'm sure you've also enjoyed creating yours and maybe your final pages are complete by now (sorry for the really slow response). I really appreciate you watching. Hugs from Australia xx
It is so lovely to see what other people made. My book is almost finished I still have to make the last page and the cover. I like the colors you have used. and you give me another idea to use. Thank you for sharing. Maybe see you the next challenge again.
How wonderful to be almost finished your book! I'm so glad you enjoyed the flip through and found inspiration in the pages. I'm doing the #52tagshannemade challenge. Hope to see you there 🤗
That’s really lovely of you to say Natalie, thank you 🥰 It’s great to hear you’re inspired to get started on your own book. Once get you past that step, the enjoyment will be motivation enough.
i guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know a method to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Gage Rhys I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

It's absolutely stunning. I've just started my Slow Stitching journey. I'm definitely going to go back and follow Anne Brooks ideas
Sounds wonderful Jacqui. Hope you enjoy the process and thank you so much for your lovely comment 🥰
I think a buttoned down at each end, band to hold the flaps down would work nicely.
Lovely book❣️🌷
Great idea, Donna! Thanks for the suggestion 😊
Lovely book and your embroidery is beautiful. Happy New Year.
