🤣😂🤣 Turns into...writing a thesis..... I have spent the day binge watching your channel! So glad I found you! I love your work and your stitching is inspiring! ❤❤❤
I started my se w. 4 the soul project exactly same way as you. via Rachel and the Anne. I'm especially loving the book. Yours is lovely. X Catherine
I love Anne's style and I love your style so this was the perfect video! Thanks for sharing!!
So sorry to hear of your daughter's phobia and angst. When we are young children we can interpret what, appear to be something normal, as something to fear. I had many anxieties as a child. Thank goodness you were an alert parent and took your daughter for help. This is why I never thought children should be taken to movies with adult themes. This fabric book is really charming and looks like a fun project. Blessings to all!
I love your book.I've started one too now.It's quite addictive.
so lovely art book❤️❤️❤️
Hi love your book and the colours, I’m making one and I’m at the same part as this tutorial. Watching with Ann’s tutorials. Thanks 🙏
I’m so glad to see you back on line. I have one of these books in process, mine is red, white and blue for election year. I want to be done by Election Day.
I got a little side tracked with a pieced/ embroidered book cover. There just aren’t enough hours in the day.
There aren't enough hours are there!
Wow my husband passed away in 2018 the 2019 we had the coved and now I’m looking at all my husbands clothes.
Making clothes for me .
Oh my so I must say I’m not doing one thing but all of you girls are fabulous.
So be safe and God bless.
Love it. Those colors are so enticing.
Brilliant! I am just getting ready to start my own. Who knows how long it will take me but you helped me make my decision when you talked about the benefits of working in a book that was already sewn together! This was something that was bothering me. I love what you said about it feeling like it was coming together rather than patches that may never make it into a book! ❤️❤️❤️
I love the green one you’re sewing now. It looks like a field of flowers viewed through a picket fence. Green hills in the background. ❤️
I love that description!
Beautiful little book! TFS!
Beautiful
Amazing inspiration you give!
I love this project, it could be a good project to start out with I think and practice slow stichting and embroidery
Oh this is so amazing, thank you for sharing
Love it! When she was making her roll I made a pillow instead because I was so focused on using some of my grammas doilies. And as shes started the book I am on another project but as I watch you it has occured to me, to figure out how to incorporate what I love to do with some dinosaurs and make it for my grandson, for it to be full of yoyos and buttons and knots and textures but also his dinosaurs. I want it to be a book that he just loves to run his little fingers over. I could put a couple of pockets in it...oh now I'm getting excited...I was working on a pillow and I'm stuck...I put on all of the tufts of grass and a tree but stuck on what fabric to use for the dinosaur so I think I will just scrap that and start on a book...thankyou so much for the inspiration!
This would be a great way to make a soft book for a child. It's funny you mention dinosaurs, my 20 year old daughter wants me to make her a dinosaur themed junk journal.🦖
So cool! I love this.
You are so me!! I went and got 6 wooden bobbins when it stared too. I had no self control. My spool is done, working on by book. I love your book so far. I so enjoyed watching you open your RAK! I sent you a email about a new book that I got yesterday called Threads of Life a history of the world through the eye of a needle by Clare Hunter it’s very cool. 😀
I ram rarely able to control myself, but I just knew I'd open a can of worms if I bought one.
I saw your email and immediately put that book in my cart. It looks really interesting and I was hooked reading the first page... the paragraph about THE BEGINNING.
This looks so cute! (I have never seen a ring like that, to hold pins. Where on earth did you get it?) Beautiful work. Tfs.
I made it a few years ago out of a bottle cap for when I was working on applique quilts. It's really handy!
Adding this later as I need to hug you, your Mom, and your daughter!
Thank you, Colleen. ❤️
Your movement from one wooden spool to the thesis just cracked me up! I've been thinking about trying this project also. Anne Brooke shows a lot of her work on Instagram. You do beautiful work!
So glad you’re working on this project! I started mine and lost my mojo after a couple of pages. You’ve inspired me to pick it up again and have another go.
Please be careful with going out! I’m in Melbourne, Australia; and although we only have dozens of new cases daily we are still in full lockdown. My 3 kids have been homeschooling since March and probably won’t be returning to school until late October, but time will tell. This disease spreads incredibly fast, it’s scary.
GIVEAWAYS - How about asking international participants to pay for shipping? I know I’d be happy to do that. Just a thought...
This is looking gorgeous and I'm sure it's even prettier in person. The woven pages are my favorite. I love the idea of using a fabric throughout, as the blue linen, to tie it all together. I enjoyed having a look into your collections boxes and admit I paused the video to better see it all. lol I scored a jar of antique buttons at a thrift store yesterday and took me 30 minutes to look through it when I got home, such fun. TFS, blessings to you and yours.
Found your channel by chance. Are you Aquarius? I feel the same as you about writing in a journal. I wish i could put my thoughts on paper. I love all kinds of crafts also. My mom was my mentor and taught me to sew and needle work early. She passed in February and I shipped 4 good sized boxes of vintage material and patterns and crafts. Im also in Texas.
I am just in the beginning of my fabric & slow stitching, I will check this out so far it’s might be a way for me to go. Your doing a wonderful job on your book. Thank you 👏🏻👏🏻😻
I think your little finger pin thing is great.
Your book is beautiful!
I made lap blankets and slow stitched them for my three adult kids, my granddaughter and one for myself. It’s made my shoulder hurt but I’m ready to start another one...🙃
I understand, Tammie. I have carpal tunnel syndrome and I can only do one thing for so long before I have to give my wrists and hands a break. Another reason why it's so great having so many interests, we can just change it up and do something else!
👏😍👏😍👏👏
I'm so glad I found your channel and have been enjoying going back through your videos and watching them at random. I am so inspired to try all the things you show but have about 74 projects already on the go 😆 I love seeing your sew4thesoulbook - your fabrics are lovely. I found Anne through Rachel too and am loving this challenge. PS I went straight to Etsy looking for a wooden spool and ended up with two! Hugs from one Melanie to another x
👍👍
Thank you
I have just seen Annes latest post and I see you are doing a new collaboration with her and other lovely ladies. Looking forward to seeing what you do. Stay safe x Catherine
Your pages are so pretty.
Thank you!
You saved yourself from the rabbithole!! Your work is just lovely and so soothing to watch.
Your strip off the selvage made into flowers is BRILLIANT, love it so much.
Для чего эти книжк?
Чтобы быть чем-то занятым и красиво выглядеть. To keep busy and to look pretty.
@@MelanieSullivan how are you do you use this book? Why sew them, why can't you sew something else useful?
I bought some large wooden spools in Fredericksburg a few yrs ago. I could wrap them rather than display them bare on my bookshelf. Ok this will sound odd I guess, but I've honestly been thinking about using batting for a book, but the point is I've never seen that before. All this is new to me. The book thing I mean. I've stitched since my great grandmother taught me to embroidery. I love this!! I should have known that my idea wasn't original Lol!! I love antique buttons. I have some of my great grandmother's buttons & notions. This would give them life to put in a book with stitching & put out as a coffee table book where I can enjoy it. Thank you for sharing this:)
I haven't been down to Fredericksburg in a number of years, but I always find treasures when I go. I love it there. A book of family heirlooms or a button collection would be marvelous. I will say, I don't enjoy doing any traditional embroidery (Flowers, chain stitches, etc.) through the batting, because 1.) it's hard on my hands and wrists, and 2.) the batting pulls through the stitching holes. It's fine for random stitches and running stitches, but I think I would rather use a wool batting or wool felt. Good luck with your book. It sounds like a great project!
Thank you for turning on the camera and sharing. You are an inspiration, and I am always interested in what interests you. I have been watching slow stitching videos whenever I can, and I have watched the sew4the soul challenges. I like the assemblage aspect in slow stitching, and how design grows organically and intuitively. I find myself using the same theme, flowers and vines, so having prompts is a good idea. I've been working in book form too, but my.intention was to make a fabric book of pockets to hold journaling spots and collection of old family momentos. I haven't embroidered since the 80s, so I was nervous at first, but it's slowly less frightful to just go where the stitching takes me. Not be fussy about imperfect stiches. In fact, I found joy drawing simple images in stitches.. A small simple stick house seemed to add another dimension. Stitching simple pics add an unsophisticated retro feel.. Also stitching words in script. So many possibilities with this type of freeform, including adding unrecognizable fabric doo hickies (?) and made up stitches.
I'm really enjoying taking a relaxed approach to stitching. There's so much you can do once you step outside the traditional cross-stitch, crewel, needlepoint, and embroidery parameters and let yourself explore - it's very freeing! Keep stitching!
Your book is coming along nicely Melanie, l have learned alot from Anne Brooke's tutorials. Tfs hugs Susanna xx 😊❤🧵
Thank you!
I absolutely love your red, white and blue yo-yo page ❤️ It’s my favorite!
Thanks!
Oh you are hilarious! Who said you have to follow rules for giveaways? My take on anything is do as you please. Make your own rules. It is not supposed to be a “follow the rules” or nothing. You can certainly start a new trend, cause I am sure he “giveaway police” is not gonna knock on your door and tell you you can’t have giveaways as you like.
Speaking of not knowing what to say when you are filming. I am also going speechless when my right brain is at work. It’s normal. I am always surprised when people who make art can actually talk as they make it.
This book of stitches is awesome. I love that green page spread.
All it would take is one complaint and RUclips can suspend your account or remove it. I just need to get my rules written, I'll do it shortly.
When I'm doing a demonstration or teaching, I don't have trouble finding my words, but I guess when I go full right brain to create, my left brain goes to sleep!
Speaking of green, I have a journal I wanted to show you. Can you send me an email at melanieonyt @ gmail.com? 💚
Melanie Sullivan yes, because we live in a cancel culture... argh... I emailed you. I’m on the edge of my seat.
