Tour my fabric meditation books

- Look through some of my fabric meditation books that I have made using slow stitching, found nature like stones, birch bark and sea glass, natural fibers like Tibetan yak down yarn and indigo dyed nettle yarn and old textiles from Japan (boro and kaya mosquito netting) and old kantha blanket remnants from India. I also love using Japanese sashiko threads, hand spun cotton and linen threads and thin sewing threads. I make each book slowly and intuitively using a variety of art materials that I find. This practice is both a meditation and mindfulness practice, inviting me to turn inward as my hands slowly hold and stitch the soft, weathered fabrics.

NEWBIE here! And sooooo excited to have discovered your channel!
I'm so glad you mentioned stitching paper. I have a squirrel out of a magazine I want to stitch for a fall table runner made of 5x5 squares. I wanted to just stitch over it, paint it with thread but I've not heard anyone mention this. Now that you have I'm going to do it. I love your books. Especially the little one with a wrap and the scarf. I practice stitches by making bookmarks. I have sooo many of them. That and on denim hearts.
I love that you are going to do for it and explore your idea, Rae. Every time I have done that with something I haven't seen someone's else before, it always leads me down an interesting path of self-discovery and creative empowerment. I wish the same for you.
Just found your channel, delighted.
These books are so lovely and very inspirational!
Thank you so much, Michelle!
I’ve just found your channel! So happy 😊!
I loved every single book, specially the ones that you buried. I admire the simplicity of the stitching and the few pages the books have. For some reason, mine always have lots of stitching and lots of pages... maybe I have many things to tell (?)...
I definitely think that stitching is like writing poetry. I always say that, as I wouldn’t know how to write a book, I stitch them 💙💜💛❤️💚🧡🖤💗♥️
Thank you, Alexandra, it's fun to connect with you here too!
Как буд то старинные манускрипты❤😊

Hi Bella, you are very welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed seeing my books.
Hi Emma! I enjoyed seeing your little books. I am a new subbie and I will be coming back to see how you make some of these stitches. I am currently working on a slow stitch, quilt as you go quilt. Thank you for sharing. 💜💜💜
You're very welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed seeing the books I've created. Your quilt project sounds lovely.
Love your stitching ❤️
Thank you so much, Julie.
Tea bag strings! Oh my! I never thought of that, but now I am saving my strings!
Oh wonderful, Vanessa, I'm glad you feel inspired to play with tea bag strings!
I love your books! They are so inspiring. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Diane.
Oh my! I just found your channel and I am so excited that I did! I absolutely love artful, created fabric books, and I am in awe of the little treasures you have shown here. Thank you so much for sharing, so inspiring and delightful.
You're very welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed seeing my fabric books and I hope my process inspires you on your creative journey too.
I also make small cloth books i call them prayer books. It was wonderful to see the love you have for these books because i also love mine too
I love that you call yours prayer books, that is so beautiful, Pamela.
I love these books! The inspiration is exciting!
Thank you so much, Vanessa!
I just found your channel too! I find this idea fascinating with your terms that there’s a story about each page. Not sure I understand it, but that’s ok! I’m willing to learn! Love all the “naturalness” to your books!
Thank you so much, Jean!
Loved this tour Emma!! So many inspiring ideas. You’ve got me thinking about stitching as poetry ❤ Thank you! (Jill)
Thank you so much, Jill! I'm so glad you are feeling inspired.
I found your channel from Pinterest, the poetic stitch by hand video, so I am going through your videos as meditation books seem great to learn for myself. I've subscribed to you and watching from the beginning. Thanks for sharing ❤
Wonderful, Annmarie, I hope you enjoy exploring making fabric meditation books.
Beautiful works of Art ♥️🙏
Thank you so much!
Amazing ideas! Thanks for share :)
Such beautiful pieces. Thank you for posting. :)
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed seeing them.
Awesome
Thank you, Joanne.
Lovely books so inspiring!
Thank you so much!
First, I’d like to tell you that I found you on Sketchbook Revival 2023. I loved the Poetic Stitching lesson. Thank you so much for sharing that with us. Now I am following you on RUclips and going back and watching many of your past videos. Love the scrolls and tiny stitched books.
My question is, do you make the little books first and then stitch into them, or do you stitch the pages together and then add your poetic, intuitive, embellished stitching? Love, love, love this peaceful process! Thanks again. 🤗❤️🥰🙏🏻
Hi Maria, for my books I like to stitch 4-5 blank pages together and then explore stitching on the pages intuitively from there. Some of my students like to keep the pages loose and free and stitch on them first, then bind them at the end. There's no right or wrong way to do it, I'd just play and experiment and see what resonates with you.
Oh how fun!
I love these. I would love to touch them.
Thank you so much, Judy.
Do you stitch the pages before sewing them together in the book?
Hi Sheila, I like to bind the book first full of blank pages and then stitch inside, I find that having the container first to work in resonates with me.
@@deeprootedhealing thank you. I’m going to start one today and see how it goes. I do like the idea of having the container first…
Emma do you wash the materials after you unearth them ?
I do love to wash them in the lake down the street from my house and I've also washed some in rainwater puddles. I love that it infuses the books with the healing energy of nature's water.
How do you use your meditation books
Hi Judie, I like to have them sitting out in my home in different places. Sometimes I use them as meditation objects, where I'll pick one up and slowly flip through it, touching the elements, breathing slowly and deeply. I find that I love having their peaceful presence around me.
Thank you so very much for getting back to me about how you use them. That is a great idea. Also a wonderful reminder when I see one to stop and meditate during the day. Thank you so much for this idea
You're very welcome, Judie. I love what you said that they could be reminders to stop and meditate throughout the day, that's beautiful!
