- My sister Sarah of @roxycreationsbysarah and I are super excited to introduce our slow stitch project for next year 2022. Along with our mum, we are going to create a 'junk journal' of stiches in a upcycled book cover. We would love it if you were to join us creating this fun project.
We will take you through some basic stitches and create a stitch sampler. Each month we will randomly choose a background 'loose' theme along with an embellishment theme. We will share some of our process from choosing fabrics to embellishing. We will finish 1 block (page) each month. At the end of 6 months we will construct our books using 2 different methods.
We would like to also share some of our favourite slow stitch/embroidery artists that have inspired us over the years and a few places where we source supplies.
We are so excited and can't wait to get started on the 5th January, 2022.
We will keep you posted during December so stay tuned!
We hope you will join us on the fun adventure. If you decide to do so please share your work on Instagram using the following #'s: #roxysjournalofstitchery

We look forward to seeing your wonderful creations.
Thank you so much for watching!

Yes yes yes yes I wanna join in as best I can. Sounds exciting. Mum just passed away and I want to use some of her clothes on this. Then some clothes I can't or don't wear... I am excited!.
Oh my gosh i am so sorry. This is going to be an emotional one for you but also a wonderful commemoration to your mum! I will be thinking of you! Thanks so much 😊
Ok , I am officially blaming you for my insomnia tonight. Lol! I love the books you shared in the video, I refer to them all the time. I have started a couple needle books, but now I feel challenged to follow your Prompts and start a hard covered Fabric embroidery journal. Come on 2022!
Hahaha, I am having trouble sleeping thinking about it! Thank you! 😊

Thank you so much 😀
Omgosh I can't wait for this project. It sounds so fun
Thank you! 😊
Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh! How exciting! I can't wait! I just went to Sue Spargo's store yesterday for the very first time and that alone was an adventure. I had to drive 3 hours to get there and spent over 2 hours shopping while my dear hubby waited for me in the truck. I now have a wonderful selection of threads so bring it on! I can't wait to use them!
Oh my word you lucky duck. Mum, Sas and I would have died and gone to heaven visiting her shop! Did you fill the truck, lol??? You are going to have so much fun with all your new supplies! Thank you! 😊
@@roxycreations679 It is a wonderful store and I want to sing praises to the young lady who helped me put together all that I bought! She went above and beyond and in today's world that is rare. I bought three kits ranging in ability and she sorted everything so that I didn't buy duplicates. I stayed within my budget even though I did have a nice budget. There is more to the store that I have to explore so I do see a trip in my future! I wish I lived closer because on Wednesdays you can join a sit and stitch!
Your WIP Journal of Stitchery projects that you shared are sooo beautiful!!! 😍😍🥰🥰💖💖 This looks like such a fun project Rachel!!! I decided I’d like to make some slow stitch journal covers so I may follow along for ideas and prompts but use them on my journal covers instead. I’m looking forward to following!!! Hugs, Sharon 🌷💕
Thank you so much!
I so thank you for this project! You are very kind and creative . . . .what a great opportunity for me to learn and share!

Good night! What a fabulous stash! Those two books are beyond gorgeous. I’m looking forward to watch your new project. I was so excited to see Sarah had posted...I’m going to go watch her now. 👍🥰❤️
Thank you so much!
Hi Rachel! I am very excited to do your slow stitching. I have never done anything like this before but like you I didn't want to make the flags. I had fun doing the tags but love see your slow stitching. Now off to watch Sarah youtube! Thanks for all the inspiration that you give! 🤗
Thank you! 😊
Thank you Roxy I am going to give it a go as I won’t to learn embroidery I have done some slow stitching but won’t to learn more ,So I am going to give it a go looking forward to starting in the new year many thanks From Australian 🇦🇺Daphne 🥰🙏🏻

I’m so excited about this project!

Thank you! 😊
Great! Looking forward to your new challenge.
Thank you so much 😀
How exciting! I love this idea, and since I didn’t finish with the tags, maybe this is more up my alley. I think I pretty much have enough stuff to fill many books, so I won’t need to invest much, perhaps some wool thread…. Anyway, thanks for this! Not only do I adore your work, but your mum and sis as well. Perfect!
Thank you! 😊
Rachel, I am so happy you, Sarah, and Mum are going to embark on a slow stitch project. Looks like my wish was granted. I have a vintage window with six panes, I will use to display my pages.
Thank you! 😊
Oh this is cool. Keen as to join in and I will see if I can get my sister doing it too. I haven't done much stitching since the roll Anne did during our first lock down. Keen to do and learn more. Thanks Ladies. x
I can't wait to see! Thank you so much!
YAY This is thrilling! I had a goal to make a fabric book 📕/journal this year. You rock..ROXY….🤣
Thank you! 😊
Your new project sounds exciting and I'm looking forward to starting it in the new year.
Thank you! 😊
OK...THIS I can totally get behind!!! I'm over the moon excited about joining this project!! I admire you, your Dear Mom's and Sarah's styles and stitching are just so Fantastic!! I've been on the fence about next year's challenge with flags...I too have no place to work on something that big but this stitching in a book...I'm literally chomping at the bit and will start to pull together special fabrics and bits and pieces I love that I've just been saving..never knowing exactly where or when I would use them!! Yippee!! Thank you so much Rachel!!! This project is perfect!!! oxxo
Yay, I am so pleased! I can't wait to see your progress!!! Thank you! 😊

Very happy to hear you will be sharing weekly slow stitching in the new year! Sounds like fun!
Thank you! 😊
I am so excited. I was looking at bags of scraps and contimplated giving them away. Now they are going to have a purpose. Cannot wait.
No!!! You will need them!!! Thank you so much!
This is the best idea ever👍Thank you and your Mom and sister for such a great idea❣️Can’t wait🌸🌸🌸🌸🥳🥳🥳
Thank you so much!
Great idea. I have been doing Anne’s tags. This is a new direction to go putting in a vintage book. I would love to join in. 🧵🧵🧵🧵
Thank you! 😊
I am so excited about this slow stitch project......can't wait. I've already started assembling things for it. Loved seeing what your mum has done already and Sara's video.
Thank you! 😊
Love love all that you do. I'm excited to start a new project. Thank you for all that you do . Will on them hunt for more fabric.
Thank you so much!
Rachel what a fantastic idea for next year. Your slow stitching has been one of my favorite of you videos along with watercolor painting. Then learning the different stitches is so exciting. I like to sew by hand and the idea of learning more is something I really want to do. So thrilled. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
I’m certainly a beginner and enjoyed, but didn’t end up finishing Anne’s tag challenge. Sewing along with you and Sarah and your mom on this project sounds so fun! It will be a definite challenge for me but I’m game to give it a go! I really enjoy the meditative aspect of slow stitching.
It will be a challenge but a fun one! Thank you! 😊
Oh yay, a good challenge, this sounds awesome fun with the ability to upsize and get yr teeth into it. Thanks to you, yr sister and yr Mum xx I stopped the tags a while back and flags sound just same same.
Thank you 🤗
Hi Rachel - I just watched Sarah’s video and love all she showed us. I then found your video and am watching it now. I ❤️❤️❤️ this project. I’m excited to watch and learn new stitches. I’m a beginner so it will be so much fun. Your Mom’s book is so pretty. Can’t wait to see each of your blocks and videos. This is such a great idea that y’all have come up with.
Back to the video now.
Happy Stitching!!! 💙🧵💙
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video.
Lot's of great ideas coming up,I look forward to them.
I have to sew by hand everyday.🎶🎶🐦🌻❄️❄️❄️

Hi Rachel. I'm so looking forward to having a go at this. Let the collecting begin!!!!
Thank you! 😊
I am excited to start, scared silly but hope I can do this and have fun. I so enjoy watching you when you are slow stitching.:0
Hahaha we are all scared, lol! Just have a go. Thank you! 😊
Hi Rachel, I am thrilled to see that you are doing a slow stitch series. I need some inspiration to get me going again. It all sounds wonderful I can’t wait to start. Lots of love, Bella from RachandBellaCrafts.
Thank you! 😊
What a fabulous idea I am just beginning in slow stitch and just love it 😊 I’m so hoping I have the time to join in I really would love to learn stitches from you. So exciting thank you 😊💕
Thank you! 😊
I can't find word how this idea/project is..... absolutely GREAT!!!
whole my 'family life' I was dream about find time make something for myself by sewing like that...
I bring 'staff' with me 30 years ego coming to Cape Town... lot happen here, but time for sewing was never finded...
now I have!!!! hurray.... this idea give me good start.... never stop now... continue... so... my dream came true with your project...
almost be 60 year old I make what I dream my whole life....hugs, Ursa
Thank you so much!
I’m also excited to learn stichery! I can’t wait 😛
Thank you so much!
I have never put together a journal, but I can not wait to get started. I cross stitch and quilt I can already see those projects will be put aside. Thank you,your sister and mother.
Thank you! 😊
Rachel! Thank you so very much for doing this. And, a thank to your sister and Mom! I found you through the project you showed at the beginning and from there have found a few others doing this kind of work. However, most of the videos were from a year or two ago. I was disappointed as so many were now doing paper instead of stitching. Although paper is fun to play with, it doesn't give me the sense of accomplishment I get when working with fibers; nor does it entice my need for tactile stimulation and relaxation that I only hand sewing does. I've embroidered since before I can remember and I always come back to it, when my life is stressful. The kind of work you do is new to me and I"m finding it very engaging and enjoyable. I look forward to getting to know you, your sister and, hopefully, other hand-stitchers that make UA-cam videos for additional inspiration and connection around stitching.
When I first started on You Tube i wanted to show more stitching but people were not so interested. Now they are so I am pleased to do more on camera. Thank you! 😊
Rachel! I am so excited to see this for 2022! I want to learn new stitches and try to create something beautiful.
Your stitchery is so pretty. I love the blues on the first page of your big book. This is going to be fun.....:)
Thank you so much!
What a lovely idea!!!!! Your work is fantastic! I can't wait to get started...a great project for this winter.
Thanks so much!
This is such a wonderful idea. I am so excited to get started on gathering my materials. I wish we had the beautiful hand dyed wools where I live. I do have some wools but just your average variety. I do have a very large collection of vintage and antique buttons. I will get to use some of my favorites.❤️
Thank you! 😊
I'm busting with excitement! I just saw Sarah's video and I'm so happy you're doing this! My goal for 2022 is to do more slow stitching - this is perfect! One page a month will be so fun! Thank you!!!!
Thank you! 😊
Wow, I am limited on those supplies but unlimited on enthusiasm and willingness to learn! I find slow stitching very relaxing! Congrats on following your heart😊 proud of you my friend... I'll be watching!!!😊
Thank you so much!
TFS. Very exciting.
Thank you so much!
i LOVE this idea! thank you so very much for coming up with a stitch along project.
i, too, was doing the tags, then life interrupted...hubby had a brain tumour, surgery, etc...plus i have an etsy shop that keeps me busy, too.
i already have an idea for putting the pages into the book: using elastic cord around the spine...a loop for each pair of pages, or each fold of the accordion at the spine...
oh, i am going to enjoy doing this, thank you so much!
I am so sorry to hear about your hubby. I hope he's ok. Thanks so much 😊
@@roxycreations679 hubby is doing excellent, but it sure sidetracked us, it was discovered in april and mid may he had a 9 1/2 hour surgery to remove it. i am so looking forward to doing this stitch book, my head is full of ideas...
@@syllydaisy5412 that's great to hear!
This sounds like such a fun project! I don't know the first thing about stitching but seems like a great opportunity to give it a go!
Thank you! 😊
Love this idea 😻!! It's so beautiful that you're doing this with your Mom and Sister! 🧁 OMG 😃 I could do this with the doilies that my Grandma crocheted! 💕
Thank you so much!
I've been pondering on what I'm going to do for next year's 100 day project for a while, and before I watched this video, I was leaning towards some kind of stitched book. Watching this video, and Sarah's, cemented this idea so thank you to you both. Next is the fun planning part!
Yay, I am so pleased! Thank you! 😊
I am absolutely THRILLED about this! I can not wait for this to start!
Thank you so much!
Love! Love! Love the idea of a stitch book!!! I cannot wait to get started!!!
Thanks so much 😊
What a wonderful idea, I will absolutely look forward to this
Thank you so much!
I am excited to hear about this project for 2022. 🥳 I don’t have a lot of old fabrics but some new and lots of recycled pieces from thrift store finds. I have joined in the 52tagshannemade and did complete a stitching book in 2020. I feel I may be getting in over my head as you, Sarah and your mum are very advanced stitchers but I am going to join in and try my best. 💞🇨🇦💗
Thank you! 😊
Everyone has reiterated my thoughts here - just ordered a small bundle from you to get ready! Best wishes and love, Jxx
Thank you! 😊
Be still my heart….these fabrics and laces are luscious to the hand and eye….I have been planning to incorporate my tags in a cloth book…I only managed the first 15…so I thought it would be fun…now I will do it with you…how fun…❤️hugs from Minnesota ❄️
I think that's a wonderful idea for the tags! Thank you so much!
OMG!!! I'm soooo excited for this project!! I love slow stitching but am new at it. I am an experienced quilted and sewer-and so excited for this project!! Thank you for sharing your talent-I will be doing this with you all!!!!
Thank you so much!
I’m so glad you are doing a project for us to follow along with. I did the 52 tag challenge however I felt the flags were just going to be just the same type of thing. Plus I didn’t want to have to pay for the prompts. Hugs Juanette
I thought the same. Thank you! 😊
This a wonderful idea Rachel. I love the idea of combining a journal with slow stitching. I love making journals but this idea will encourage me to use up my large hoard of fabrics, lace and threads. Thank you all very much from the Far North Coast of NSW.
Thank you so much!
Thrilled to be joining in on the fun! Can’t wait to get started! ❤️
Thank you so much!
So it's 5:35 a.m. California time and I can't sleep as my 17 year old turned on the hallway light..and so I look on my phone and you've blessed us with this project. I can't wait as I have piles of my all the stuff you're showing us. Have you thought about using men's silk ties or scarfs? I find lovely old patterns in our thrift stores.. Thanks so much for doing this!
I am so pleased! Cheeky 17 year old, lol! Thank you so much!
I certainly will join in your stichery, such a nice idea!
Thank you so much!
How exciting! Can wait now to gather all the materials!
Thank you so much!
I’ve been secretly wishing you would do a slow stitch project. Perfect.
Me too! And now the wish has been granted! Yeah!
Hahaha I've been secretly wishing I would too, lol! Thank you so much!
I agree!!!
I absolutely love this project. I have been wanting to try slow stitching- so very happy to join you, your sister and mum - to learn and create ❣️
Thank you so much!
Ohhh Yay Rachel, and Sarah and Mum! This sounds fun! Terrifying because I am a novice but fun. Most if my fabrics and trims are newish, nothing older than 20 years, but I have lots of fabric pieces I love and some I got from my Mom. I have been hoarding a lot of different batik fabrics as well and I have maybe 8 or 10 gallon bags gull of cotton fabric scraps! So I will use what i have and play along! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊
