Ep. 106 “Spring Blossom”, Field Notes Journal

In today's episode, we're celebrating the beauty of spring blossoms in my field notes journal as part of the Roxy's Journal of Stitchery challenge.
In this episode:
Spring Blossom Inspiration: I couldn't resist using this gorgeous fabric featuring blossom branches, birds, and butterflies. Watch as I embellish it with thread to enhance its natural beauty.
Join me in celebrating the beauty of spring blossoms and how they inspire our stitching projects. Come back next week to see how I include this piece in my field notes.

Exquisite workmanship...so fragile and delicately beautiful ❤ Thank you for sharing.

You are too kind, Pam! I must admit part way through this I was thinking to myself, "Leanne, why must you always gravitate towards such tiny tricky pieces!" 😁

[@joanneurquhart8537]

Beautiful work as always Leanne, love your fabric choice, and your ribbon 🎀 turned out lovely. ❤

[@leannescraftycupboard]

Thank you very much Joanne! 😊

[@claudiaforrest6669]

Wonderful fabric and stitching! Loving it all!

[@leannescraftycupboard]

Thank you for watching Claudia. I am so pleased you liked it and left such a lovely comment too! 😊

Thanks for keeping me company while I was hanging out washing and folding dried washing. The next best thing to stitching when you can’t stitch is listening to and watching stitching 😆 I loved seeing you paint your silk ribbon and adding your embellishments. Oh yes and what a wonderful name for that gorgeous fabric, perhaps the bird was doing a loop-de-loop 🤗 cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡

[@leannescraftycupboard]

What a great idea. I've never thought about listening while hanging out washing before! All of you gorgeous stitchers keep me company while I cook and iron. How much better does it make those jobs. 😊 Ahh the loop-de-loop birdy! 🤣

Very lovely...every detail of your stitching and of your video!

[@leannescraftycupboard]

Thank you very much Peggy! I appreciate you watching and commenting. So kind. 😊

Spring is all in this piece,Leanne! So so pretty! Unfortunately I haven't start this project, yet, but I 'm enjoying seeing the masterpieces of all of you,ladies! Thank you ❤❤❤

[@leannescraftycupboard]

Thank you Giusi. It is fun to watch projects and see all the different ways people interpret the prompts. I didn't do much in the last challenge, but loved watching all the videos. We are having an early Spring here in Australia and I am loving the weather! 😊

Beautiful fabric and beautiful embellishments💕. Very enjoyable video☺️

[@leannescraftycupboard]

Thank you so much Rebecca! I think I found this piece of fabric at The Sewing Basket and had to have it. The colours and flowers reminded me of Rococo paintings. 😊

[@cathiespalding2083]

Your work is absolutely beautiful as always!

[@leannescraftycupboard]

You are always so kind, Cathie! Thank you for your lovely encouragement. 😊

Hi Leanne your videos are lovely to watch. The ribbon roses look gorgeous and what a great idea to touch up with colour after stitching. ❤

[@leannescraftycupboard]

Hi Dawn. Thank you very much! The videos take me as long to edit as I spend stitching, but I am really enjoying putting everything together. I am so pleased you liked it. 😊

[@lesliekenreich9992]

I love this idea-looks awesome!!

[@leannescraftycupboard]

So glad you like it, Leslie! I find it really is a great way to start stitching when I am not sure where to start. 😊

[@cookingjennfer]

I’ve never stitched with ribbon before. It’s really beautiful.

[@leannescraftycupboard]

It really is. I think it is possibly the easiest form of embroidery. You get such an effective result so quickly. The difference is you pull it through much more gently and carefully as you don't want it to pull tight through flat like thread. 😊

[@bestcrossroad]

Beautiful, Leanne! ❤

[@leannescraftycupboard]

Thank you very much Tess. 😊

[@ValitasCreativeDesigns]

Gorgeous as always 😍🌹

[@leannescraftycupboard]

Thank you, Valita. Speaking of gorgeous - loving your new profile pic! 😊
