I realize I watch this on average once a year... Lol... I love this video.
Thanks, Vanessa. So pleased you do 🤣 💐💐💐💐💐
This is so individual and interesting. While there are so many people doing rather similar pieces, this feels as if you have followed your heart. Keep on doing what you’re doing. It’s rather inspiring.
Hello, Loupa! Thank you for your lovely comment. When I first started my channel there was only one lady doing similar, it has now become very popular :-) I think you're right about following "your heart". I believe as creative people that's probably what we all do. I hope you try some of the projects and let us all see it on facebook!
Omg! I am so happy I found you! Your embroidery is amazing! Amazingly beautiful! Thank for explaining everything so well, it was such pleasure to watch your video. I can’t wait to learn more. ❤
Wow, tachiza, thank you for such an inspiring comment. I am sorry it's taken so ling to reply - life got in the way!! Lol Wishing you a Happy New year and looking forward to hearing from you again x
I love your idea of cutting up adult coloring books and using the designs in your slow stitching projects. I will try that with my unused adult coloring books. Coloring them stresses me, also, so this is a perfect solution. Thank you for sharing your work - it is inspiring.
Hello, Lavonnel. What a great name!! I m not sure if I replied to you too, as well as Gillian, on another device. Sorry if I have! I was given so many colouring books I didnt know what to do with them- sewing them seemed obvious!!! 🤣
I'm so impressed and inspired!! I hope you are still carrying on with your channel and work. I'm not sure how I found your channel but I'm so happy I did. I love how you incorporated your paper and fiber work all together. It's stunning!
Thank you for such a lovely comment Michelle. I am still working on the channel and it s up todate. I hope you like the other projects. I am very pleased you found the channel too! 😁
Your book is amazing. I also did a degree in textile arts in the US in Arizona. Only 45 years ago.
Hello Pat. Thankyou for your lovely comment. You and I did our degrees about the same time. I started my course in 1976 ! O M Goodness, it really does nt seem that long ago, especially as I am only 18 years old!!! 🤣 ( Well, in my head ha, ha) ⚘
I have finally found what I've been searching for a slow stitched fabric journal, thank you so much for sharing this treasure xx
Hello Sandra. Thank you for your wonderful comment. It's a real motivator to receive such a thoughtful comment. I hope you enjoy other videos too. xx
Yes you are a delight (Wendy is correct) thank you for your video looks happy work 🥰❤️🥰 love everything about your journal I can imagine how much you would have enjoyed making this. I can tell you I will watch it more than once. Beautiful
Thank you for your lovely comment. I am sorry I can t use your name but there doesn't seem to be one! I did enjoy making this journal. It was fun using lots of short different ideas. I m planning some more journals later in the year, to make a change from the large projects. I hope you re keeping well. Best wishes.
I have been enjoying all your videos Teresa, but there was a moment where I laughed out loud, because I did exactly that, I cut a bit out of the inside of my husbands shirt cuff and he didnt realise, until he tried to roll the sleeves up on a warm day! My brother just turned up yesterday with a bundle of shirts, as I am making a recycled fabric quilt for some friends who are passionate about the environment. Like you, I keep everything for re-use.
Hi Kath. Thanks for your lovely comment. I laughed at your comment too. I know exactly what you mean about your husband's cuff! I wonder if that's why I am divorced!!!lol
Watched this four times! And I want to add that colouring books can become embroidery designs, they can be printed onto fabric, you can take as much or as little of the page to help design a page. I have loads of colouring books for what ever reason and I have learned that they have many uses. 😀😃😄
I love colouring books too - not so much the adult ones, but the children's books are great for outlines. I don't think I grew out of the colouring books and crayons stage Vanessa!!
First time viewing. I just love your creativity. Thank you so much for your inspiration.
Thank you Cheryl. So pleased you like what you ve seen. I hope you like the rest. Wishing you a very happy 2024 x
There are no words to express how amazed I am seeing what you've done. It's just gorgeous, so rich with color and stitches. And such an inspiration. Thankyou for sharing this treasure with us!
Such a lovely comment Rae. Thank you. I am sorry for the delay in replying but I am in the process of moving house and...it's a nighmare! Lol 😯🦋🌻
Just found your channel and so enjoyed your journal! My…so much beautiful work!! You are delightful! TFS!
Hello, Nancy and welcome! Thank you fro the lovely comment. I hope you enjoy other projects too. There's a facebook group for allsewnuppers to post their work, for after you've completed your journal!! :-) Lol
Really beautiful. From a slow stitcher. Love 💘
Hello, Sunny Girl! Thank you for your lovely comment. I hope you're well and keeping those slow-stitch fingers busy 😁 Take care and keep safe 🌷🌸
No you do not bore me,
THANK YOU for Sharing 👍
SO Creative and HOW BEAUTIFUL 🤗
Many Blessings to You and YOUR family. 🙏
Hello, Benita. Thank you for your comment. I am so pleased to hear that!😁 Wishing you a very happy and peaceful 2022 🌹
That was such a treat! Thanks so much for sharing. My head is a buzz with ideas. 😀
Hello Stitch 54. Thank you for such a lovely comment. I m really pleased you liked this and hope you like the rest! 😁 Take care and keep safe.
Absolutely love and appreciate all your diligence and passion for textiles and all the work that goes into this. I said "work" but I know that it is "loving what you are doing" rather than work. I am over a year late in finding this video. I'm in Texas, USA yet we are so connected in the love of slow-stitch movement. Its roots being in embroidery, appliques and basic needle and thread. I've sub'd to your channel today and will search YT for more of your videos. God bless.
Hello Louise. Thank you so much for your comment and your subscription. I enjoyed reading your reply. It sounds as if you have 'history' with the subject too. I hope things are OK in Texas and you're keeping well. Keep in touch. God Bless you too Louise. Keep safe.
You are amazing
I smile at your wit
And got up and danced on the way to get icecream.
You have definitely changed my day of gloom to a night of blessed dreams .
Be safe stay well and please keep me going .
Cause that’s just what you do for me while I’m in mourn.
God bless you and yours
Hi Hummer! How are you? Your message made me laugh! The thought of chocolate ice cream makes me dance too ha, ha. Unfortunately, there's been just a little too much ice cream during this lockdown and we're only one week into it! My daughter finished the ice cream last night and I've vowed not to buy any today, but I am planning on going shopping soon so who knows?? ( I think ice cream is 'essential food goods isn't it? :-) lol) It's always nice to hear from you Hummer. Take care and keep in good health. God Bless you and yours too x
Wow….Fantastic. I have never see so much inspiration in one place. I have only just found your channel but I will now make sure I watch everything you do, I am so impressed with your artistic talents and how you explain your thoughts and vision. You have given me so many ideas. Just love it all…..thank you for sharing.😘
Hi User! Lol. Thank you for such a fabulous comment. I so pleased you liked the journal. It s probably time I updated it now- you ve given me a timely "prompt" to do this!. I hope you like the rest of the videos. So nice to have you on board x
Grateful having found you! Subscribed! Sending love from Istria, Croatia💖
Hi Lady Paper Moon... I love your 'title' 😁 I also love Croatia. I stayed in Mlini several years ago and loved it. Visited lots of fabulous places. It s all so pretty. Will go back one day. Thank you for commenting. Have a very happy 2024 x
Loved every minute of the video, I would stop it along the way just to feast my eyes on the stitching. Also, the idea that you stitched on photos, very clever you are. Thank you for this video. Keep showing your work.
Hello Carla! It's so nice to get such positive feedback. I am so pleased you're enjoying the videa and also grateful that you've taken the time to comment. I hope you're keeping well in your part of the world. keep in touch.
love your journal and all the inspiration I get from it.
Hi Chris. Thankyou for your comment. I think I ve just replied to you on another video! 😁 I m pleased you like this, it was one of the early videos. I hope you're well. Look forward to hearing from you again 🌺
What a beautiful journal - i love the colours and textures, fabrics and papers, stitches and the wise words. Thank your for sharing.
Thank you for your lovely comment Patricia, I really appreciate it. This project was really enjoyable and fun to do. I hope you're well 😁
So happy to have found you and your lovely videos. So inspiring.... taking out my needle and thread.
That's a great comment Creative D, thank you. I am so pleased it's inspired you to have a go! Let me know what you choose to work on and how you get on. Good luck :-)
Its so beautiful lots of work but it is worth it you inspired me going to try slow stitch soon
Hello Olga! It' so nice to hear from you again. I appreciate your lovely comment. Have you started slow stitching yet? I hope so. You'll love it. Keep safe 🦋
Lol this seems to be a yearly thing with me! Just watched it again lol!
Hello Vanessa. I hope you re well. I think you could be forming a yearly habit but don't stop! 😅 lol Have a very happy and safe 2024 x
You have presented a lot of new ideas for me to consider. Thank you.
Hi Patricia. Thanks for your comment. I hope you re finding the videos helpful. Best wishes for 2024
I love this so much! Your joy and detail and storytelling was so precious and I absolutely fell in love. Thank you!
Thank you for your great comment Amber. I really appreciate it. I hope you fall in love with the other videos too!! LOL
Watching this again lol. I get so much inspiration from your work. This is one project I just just love to revisit.
Have you started your sliw stitch journal yet?? It sounds like you're eager to do one yourself - go on Vanessa, you know you want to!! 😁🌹xx
Hi! Teresa i like your work ver much and your process. Thank you for sharing the beautiful and chunky book or journal. Have a nice day and see you on and other video. Bye bye
I am just starting slow stitching and this was wonderful to watch for a start.. Keep showing us more.
Hello Sharon! Thank you for your lovely comment. I am so pleased you ve started slow stitching. It s such a nice way to spend some time, especially at the moment during lockdown. I hope you enjoy my other videos. They're all designed to suit all skill levels.
Helli Sharon. So pleased you liked this video, you might like the others too. They 're designed to suit all skill levels. I hope you're keeping well, slow stitch certainly helps to pass the time at this strange time. Good luck with your sewing and thank you for your lovely comment 😁
Just watched you video and now have so many ideas running though my head. Love how you have saved items from being thrown out to include in your art💜
Hello Kate. I know what you mean about so many ideas! It drives me crazy!! All the items I use are rescued, donations or freebies. Hope you enjoy my other videos too. 😊🌹
Your journal is gorgeous💕🙏💕🌹
Thank you so much! xx
Loved your video!! All the beautiful work. I too have been looking for this. A way to showcase all the lovely fabrics I've saved and those that have special meaning to me. I want to learn all the stitches and ways to incorporate them into a special art journal. I definitely would love to take your course. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Hi Susan! I am so pleased to like this. I always felt it was an ideas journal in slow stitch but also using lots of ideas and some other stitches too. I think it would make a wonderful art journal. Have you looked at the work inspired by famous paintings? If you go to my playlist click on 'Paintings ' and there might be something to inspire you when designing your art journal. The problem is... having the time, and fast-enough fingers to cope with all the ispiration that surrounds us !! ha, ha. Keep in touch, I d love to know how your journal progresses.
You are a delight to be with. I really enjoyed your video. I’m feeling very inspired by your work. A course in slow stitching would be nice.
Hello, Wendy! That's a lovely comment, thank you :-) The videos after the Introductory Course, take you through the slow stitch projects step by step. If you think there's still a need for a beginner's course, and slightly less demanding, please let me know. I love to get 'suggestions' for new courses (only nice suggestions though!!! lol)😄
It looks amazing, thank you so much for sharing, so into slow stitching at the moment. Lovely.
Hi Amanda. Really appreciate your comment. Hope you enjoy my other slow stitch videos. Happy stitching!! 😁🏵️
@@allsewnuptextileart Yes have been having a look through your other videos.
What a special book!
Hi Diane,. Thank you for your comment. I am so pleased you like the book. It was a real labour of love but good fun to do. I hope you're keeping well.
I think this is an absolutely gorgeous signature!
Thank you very much for your lovely comment J. I really appreciate it. I hope you enjoy my other videos too 🌺 Teresa
I laughed my head off at the net curtain story 😂😂
Hi MoonSpinners. 😁 You never know when inspiration will strike. Nothing is safe! My daughter hides any clothes I ve taken a liking to! 🤣 She does nt trust me and my scissors! Ha, ha x
@@allsewnuptextileart …Edward Scissorhands comes to mind for some reason 😂😂
🤣😂 So, right! Lol xx
I've been watching all sorts of videos on slow stitching and I'm so happy to of seen your post come up. I couldn't take my eyes away. I loved how you made grass look like grass. And how you embellished with sequins. Every stitch was wonderful. This is what I was waiting for. I hope you don't mind, but my stitching journal will have a lot of your ideas in it.
Definitely a new subbie here
A big 'Welcome' Darlene. I am so pleased you're enjoying the videos - I really appreciate you telling me. Carry on using them in your journal. Perhaps you can post some of your work on our facebook group?
Absolutely wonderful, thank you for sharing your awesome book with us.
So pleased you liked it! Thank you for your comment 😁
I love this! I was mesmerized by every page, You've created a treasure! I'd love an online tutorial.
Hi Kim. Thank you for your comment. I was thrilled to receive it! I hope you like my other videos too. It's funny that you mention an online tutorial because I was asked about this last week. A techie friend has even offered to set it up. You ve made me determined to give it some serious thought! 😁 🌺
Magnifique travail de broderie lente c'est harmonieux bravo 👏
Bonjour! Comment allez-vous? Je parle seulement un peu francais.😁 Merci, pour votre super comment. Je l'aime!
(Comment j 'ai fait?)
What a lovely book you've created! As a slow stitcher myself I totally get how long this must've taken you to create... hours upon hours! Keep stitching!
Hello iHanna! Thank you for your comment. As a fellow slow stitcher, you'll know that project look hours and hours. When I finished, I almost had a party!! 😆 I hope you're keeping well and safe 🐛
Love it!!! It’s such an inspiration!! Thank you!!!
Would love to learn more!
Hi Ola, Thankyou so much for your lovely comment. Pleased you want to learn more. I ve just posted a slow stitch piece inspired by Van Gogh, there's also another by Picasso.You might like those too. Best wishes to you xx
He Lynda. ThanThank you your very nice comment. I am so pleased you liked it. I m working on a smaller one at the moment and hope to upload it next week. 😁
Your sewing crafts are beautiful! You are very dedicated!
Hello Robin, thank you for your comment. I Hope you enjoy the projects. It's so nice to hear from you !
Thankyou , love this tutorial
Hello Debbie. Thank you for your lovely, positive comment. Comments like this are a real motivator!
Beautiful!
Hello Vanessa! Thank you for your comment. It s always lovely to get such s nice reaction. I hope you re well.🦋
Just found your channel and I must say it it wonderful! The work you have done is beautiful! Just gorgeous! I love how you are always asking for a small swatch of fabric from your friends and family - definitely made me smile. I look forward watching on your videos and learning from such a skilled artist. Thank you for sharing.
Your comment made me laugh about taking in fabric from people! If only you could see my bedroom! I have two large units filled with fabric all piled on top each other! I really need to start saying "No, thankyou" to the kind people who are supplying me - but honestly - who could do that?! It's like being a child standing in a sweet shop!! I couldn't say "No thank you " then either!! ha, ha
No, I would not be able to say "No thank you" to fabric or anything I could usein crafting. I too am a collector of fabric among other crafting things. I have a lot material that has been bought but also love saving clothing from clothing to be upcycled. And then I enjoy going to thrift stores to buy more! The problem is finding the time to use it!!
I love trees too so sad so many get chopped down nowadays❤️
I love trees too and find them very soothing. I had more than a tear when the trees outside my local leisure centre were cut down. The contractors moved in on a Sunday, a day before the restrictions on cutting down trees because of nesting birds came into force. It was heartbreaking seeing the carnage on the Monday morning! Dreadful!
@@allsewnuptextileart yes simular here in Kent on my estate a neighbour cut down a lovely tree we were all upset and the council keep lopping of the tops of trees so they don't need to maintain them it is heart breaking I agree and bad for the envirement
Just found your channel and subbed. I love slow stitching too. Lovely work x Catherine 😄
Btw have you seen sew4thesoul project by Anne Brooke. If not think you will love it x
Hello Catherine! Thank you for your comment and subscribing. I hope you enjoy other videos here. I look forward to hearing from you again 😃 x
@@JayneCatherineOnBooks No, but I ll definitely have a look. Thanks x
It must be our different accents, I love the way you say applique, in Australia we say it app-lick-ay...lol
🤣 Don 't be fooled by me Debbie! I am probably pronoucing it wrong!!! Ha, ha 🌹
Just beautiful and inspiring ❤️
So sorry for not replying sooner, but I've only just seen this. Thank you for your lovely comment.
Wow! Beautiful work!
Hi Tripletgirl2. Thankyou! I looked at your channel and loved your walk in the woods. I watched it 3 times. It's wonderful but there was nowhere to comment. You have a beautiful voice! 😁🍁🍂
This is really amazing! I loved this! I’m sorry I’ve just discovered your channel. I do hope you get a chance to continue this! I’d love to see more of your beautiful work!
The Scarlet Owls! What a fabulous name!! So pleased you enjoyed it. Have a look at some of my work inspired by well known paintings. Hopefully, you might like those too. Thanks so much for commenting 😁
Gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

So talented Teresa!
Ah, thanks Anna. Thank you for commenting. I am so pleased you're enjoying it. keep in touch.
@@allsewnuptextileart ☕️👋💜will do!
@@allsewnuptextileart Hi Teresa, in this video you show how you made this Journal in the following episodes?! Very generous!
@@annatronson5927 Hello Anna. This journal was a real labour of love. I really enjoyed it but it was exhausting because I was uploading a video every day!! It was like having a full-time job!! Keep safe and well Anna.
@@allsewnuptextileart a great service to the community! Definitely a L of L. Right now I’m on a different project. Painting. Working with mixing colours etc! Keep me posted!
Lovely
Thank you for your comment. It s always lovely to get positive feedback 😁
Stunning! New subbie 🐱🌸🌸🌸Just started getting into slow stitching and love meditation and mindfulness.
Hello PaperKitty! So nice to hear from you - I watch your channel too! Slow stitching is such a lovely art to do but - warning- it's addictive!! lol. I enjoy the mindfulness of it too. I found it very difficult at first because I am naturally noisy and 'busy' so I ve have to work hard. In fact, I spoke to a psychologist last week who is recommending it for her medical colleagues to help them through the current Covid stress of hospital life. I swim most mornings and find it easier to practice mindfulness in the swimming pool (although the pools are closed at the moment) It's so relaxing - everyone should try it ha, ha.
Beautiful. Amazing book.
Hi Pearl Ann. Thankyou for taking the time to comment. It s always motivational when I get a lovely comment.🌹
I am still watching but had to stop and say how much I am loving what you’ve done. Just what I needed to see as this is where I’m headed myself. So many great ideas to inspire. Do you teach online at all? 🥰🌷💐
Hello Sara. Sorry for the delay in replying, there s been a lot of sickness here. I am so pleased you like the video. Your comment is lovely, thankyou. I hope to start online teaching this year. At the moment my internet needs sorting out, I had to cancel an online Art class I was doing. It s something I m looking forward to doing. 😁
Beautiful
Thanks , Vanessa. Pleased you like it. Hope it's inspired you😁
You are sooooo neat !!!❤❤❤❤
Hello Helen. Thank you for your comment. I m pleased you liked it. Wishing you a very happy and healthy new year x
Hello WOW I really love your work I have been doing more slow stitching I would love to try some of your ideas ! Big hugs Sonya
Hi Sonya! So lovely to hear from you as I m one of your subbies too! Our styles are very similar. I m working on more projects at the moment. Did you see my Van Gogh slow stitch? Would love your opinion! I am always thrilled to hear from a subscriber- you ve made my day. Keep safe and stay healthy 🌹🌹🌹
Hello~ This is a very lovely video.
But I don't know what you are making.
I am a quilter and I also like fabric, lace, and buttons. I want to make the same thing you made. But I can’t make it because I don’t know what fabric journal is.
I live in a different culture than you, so it's hard to understand what fabric journal is for. Please kindly explain. Thank you♡
(If the sentence is weird, please understand. I used a translator.)
Hello! Thank you for your comment. A journal is a notebook or diary used for writing your thoughts, ideas or "secrets" or anything you want. It could be for poems or places you've travelled to.
They're usually made from paper and card and the pages decorated with paper pictures, photos, postcards...
Some people, like me, like to use fabrics and paper together, or just fabric and use stitches to decorate the pages.
Iit's a really nice art/craft. Have a go with any pieces of textiles you have. It's good fun!
I hope this helped . I am sorry I don't know your name. 🌹
Beautiful work! I've a query: when you stitch onto paper - esp satin stitch - does the paper not go into holes? What is your suggestion?
Sorry for the delay in replying Nancy, I hope you haven't been waiting. Life 'took' over a little!! Always back or line your paper, especially if it's a lightweight paper like printing paper, do this with iron on interfacing if possible, if not use a fine fabric like polyester cotton and with a glue stick , carefully glue the back of your paper and then place the fabric ontop, then place under a heavy book to dry and flatten. I would probably tack, baste or machine sew with a long stitch, all the way around the edge of the paper to stop it from separating from the interfacing. This makes the paper stronger, so a needle can be pulled through. Don't place your stitches too close otherwise your needle holes will be too close and rip the paper. It's quite a gentle process- use a thin, sharp needle so it slides into the paper and you won't have to pull it will any force. if you need more help please contact me here or through the facebook group. Good luck! :-)
@@allsewnuptextileart Thanks for your generous reply! I'm delighted to know these details. That makes sense to me. Also glad to know there's a Facebook group. I'll look for that now. Thanks! 👌⚘
Hello,just subscribed I love stitching on fabric or batting.what paper are you stitching on?
Hello Betty. Thank you so much for your subscription. I hope you enjoy other projects too. The paper this piece is sewn on was a picture taken from a book. It's a shiny surface. I ' ve put calico on the back to give it strength, so the action of the sewing needle doesn't tear the paper. I love sewing on paper too. It's so relaxing!!
Really enjoyed this, thank you!
Hi Kay-Jay. Thank you for your comment. I am sorry it's taken so long for me to reply - been in hospital but on the mend now. Look forward to hearing from you again! :-)
Very nice.
Thank you Barbara. So pleased you like it 💐
Just found your awesome channel! I love every page. Do you have a website? Online course? BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you for your great comment Robin. I ve been planning a website for...two years!!😁 You ve just prompted me to "get on with it!" Lol There s a small facebook group where 'allsewnuppers' can display their work. I will definitely do something about a website though 😁
I'm watching this now as I have just started small pieces of stitch meditations which I would like to put in a journal.How did you make the actual base of the pages of the journal that make up the signatures? Are they paper, card, fabric? I have made a lot of various mixed media journals and a fabric one that Anne brooke did last year. And I have seen the stitch meditation pieces glued to a paper journal but I don't want to glue them. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks Teresa. I love your "Jaws!" It made me LOL.
Hi Susan. I ve just had a look at that journal. The basic journal pages are card but some of the textile work have been mounted on even more card after working. Other pieces of work have been worked on a thick background fabric which makes them appear thicker than the basic card pages. This is especially true when two "thicker" pieces of work are back to back on a page. I am looking at that journal now, and the thickness of the pages varies depending on the size, thickness and weight of the work it's holding. Please get back to me if this does nt answer your question 😁
@@allsewnuptextileart Thanks Teresa, did you use some kind of a journal to start with then mount the sewn pages onto it? Thanks for your time.
@@susanrascone2098 It s such a long time ago, I ve had to have another lòok! Lol. I started it from scratch so made the journal, then decorated the pages😁
Was wondering what you put the slow stitch in
Hi Kate . On some pages, I've put the stitching on paper and on other pges it's worked on fabric. If I've used paper, I often back it with card or iron-on interfacintg. I hope this helps.
How do yo stitch the colouring book could you show you do it please I loved to know my name is Rhonda from Young New South Wales Australia thank you
Hello Rhonda. Hope everything is ok in New South Wales. Each page should show you how to sew it. Several stitches have been used on some pages. They're often sewn onto the paper but mostly they're sewn onto a background fabric and then sewn or glued on to the page.
I would like an on line tutorial! Tfs!
Hello Betty. Thank you for your comment. I would love to do a live online tutorial. It s something I ve been thinking of for a while. I have a friend 'lined up' to help and I ve even changed my broadband. Hopefully, this ll take place soon...ish!! 😁
Sooo beautiful, every page! Did you ever do your online Course? You are such a delight to listen to, I have subscribed a few days ago already. I LOVE trees too and collect anything with leaves, leaf shaped dishes always make me buy them! lol Sending hugs, keep well through this pandemic, Pat K.
Hello Pat. Thank you for a lovely comment. I am always starting online courses for myself. I started a bicycle repair course just for fun during the lockdown. I haven't got a bike but thought it would stretch my thinking!! lol I've been trying to learn German for years and bought another online course and guess what? I still haven't looked at it!
We sound like kindred spirits - with our love of trees! Just perfect beauty and ideal for designing from.
I am sending hugs to you too and wishing you well through this very unusal and chaotic time! Keep safe.:-)
@@allsewnuptextileart Sounds like we really are kindred spirits! I took a french class at the University for when I ran away to live in France. Guess what? I still can't carry on a conversation in french, and I still live in Canada! lol Oh well, one can dream big right?
Ha, Ha! I learned French when I was at school, a thousand years ago. It's a beautiful language. I go to France a couple of times a year and never have the confidence to try it out. The last time I tried to speak in a shop, the assistant replied in English but thanked me for trying to speak in her language. I thought that was nice. Yes, I agree, what would we do without our dreams. In my dream I can speak perfect German..well I can say " Bratwurst bitte" lol. Although, a smile and a sparkle in your eye goes a long way !!!
Can you show how you keep the pages together please?
Hello Janet. There are several ways of securing the pages from tying them together with thread or ribbon, to sewing them together. These signatures have been sewn in through the centre of the pages. Have a look at Part 4a +4b Slow Stitch Journal Signatures. You should find the information there.
A tutorial?
Hi Janet. If you have any ideas for tutorials please let me know and I'll see if I can work them them in.x
