    What I love about this is that it gives me a direction to go in. It’s like a signpost popping up in my complex creative mind, which can sometimes overwhelm me into doing nothing. Thank you for taking the time to do this and share it with us. Community in action!

    Your channel was recommended by an artist friend and today I have just watched 2 weeks worth and subscribed. I will start at January 1 and catch up soon. Happy to find you and I love slow stitching. It is wonderful little bits to do while sitting at the bedside of my totally disabled quadriplegic husband. I can now do 2 things at once that I love. Thank you.

    Let us weave peace.

    Being new to slow stitching and embroidery in general I find this quite calming as well as easily achievable. I’m calling this my “go with the flow” stitching project… I love the way it can be done with no plan. Making impromptu choices as one goes along. I also like the idea that they can be done rather quickly and not linger for days….same reason I prefer granny squares in crocheting…. Yes this will definitely be a great option to fill my spare time! Looking forward to more….thank you for sharing your experience….Happy New Year btw! Wishing EVERYONE the best for the upcoming year!

    I’m doing it! I’m following along.
    I found enough fabrics at home to make little strips and I had some Muslin in a closet for a backing and I only bought some pins and some flosses in a few colors. Today I am basting using the new to me invisible method and hopefully will be able to get some time to start decorative stitching.
    I feel so grateful for you and this space. I’m so quietly hooray.
    I wish I would have tea dyed some of the strips but it’s ok just as it is. It will be beautiful and it will be mine. Ours. 🩷

My mom got me some panels at the thrift store that are hideous 😂 but i don't want to throw out cloth so I'll use that as my backfabric. It gets used and covered up by lovely slow stitch. Win, win. I also have been enjoying slow stitch cuff bracelets as i watch TV or settle for the evening. Live the community ❤❤❤

    I blame you! Since I found you four days ago, I have made two biscornu pin cushions, two cloth twine bowls to nest them in, and yards and yards of cloth twine! Seriously, you are an inspiration. A wonderful teacher. I love that your first slo-stitch of the year is about community. I'll post some pix of my pin cushions on my IG in case you'd like to see them.

    Thank you Katherine, I’ve been looking forward to this so much. Love this first piece and the idea of us being a world community, I am proud to be able to be part of it.
    I was listening to you talking about different cultures and learning different techniques from around the world and I wondered if you have ever made a Manx quilt. I’m just about to scurry down that rabbit hole. Another project that I’ve been looking forward to for 2024. I find the history of these quilts so interesting and I’d love to hear your views.

      Hello, I have never made a Manx quilt exactly, but I have made several log cabin quilts, including a folded log cabin which is similar to a Manx in look but constructed slightly differently. What I love about the Manx tradition is that if I remember correctly, everything is measured by the hand of the quilter, no rulers involved. Which makes the finished quilt uniquely personal. Good luck with yours, I hope you enjoy making it ❤

    Thank you again for another wonderful tutorial. Bonus 🫶🏼 is your love for stitchery and opening the door of community. Your first piece is truly memorable and inspiring. I had fun making this piece.
    I too have a pretty large garden which seems to expand every year. Last year I added a butterfly 🦋 garden area to draw local species in, my hope is to provide a safe place for their numbers to increase. I’m sure a piece or two of my stitchery will be dedicated to gardening. It’s as joyful to my heart as crafting.

    Charming way to scratch that need to ‘make something’ itch when one doesn’t ‘need’ anything. Unique to hand stitching, I find it preserves memory of life at that time or what was going on when making it, more than any other crafts I do. When did I spin that yarn? No clue. Weave that towel? Another blank. Something hand stitched? Where I was, who was there and what was going on comes flooding back.
