    Wow! This just popped up in my recommendations - I’ve never seen anything like it before and I’m absolutely blown away! I have lots of hobbies but sewing is my biggest relaxation, however you often have to stop to look at the pattern or check your progress, so you can’t completely lose yourself. It looks like this would be a wonderful meditative process (I’ve tried meditation but my brain won’t shut up). It’s not often you come across something completely different so I’m really lucky this popped up, thank you for sharing. I’ve subscribed and I’ll be working my way through your videos (hoping for one on your beautiful rice bag!) I just looked and there is - beautiful!

      Thank you, I have trouble shutting my brain up too, I have tried various meditation techniques when you are supposed to just sit and focus but can't find the discipline to shut everything out. Only when focusing on stitching can I truly switch off. ❤

      its not about shutting off your thoughts! you cant do that in command. its about letting them pass without focusing your attention on them. wanting to shut off your brain or becoming frustrated by not being able to is just another thought which can pass by your mind, just observe it without focusing on it

    Love this idea. I have panic/anxiety and just started slow stitching, although I’ve done everything from embroidery, cross stitch, needlepoint, quilting, crocheting, knitting, you name it. Those are always towards a project that has a beginning and an end. I love this meditation spool idea. Only 3 months into the slow stitching, and it’s better than therapy, AS ARE your videos. It feels like I’m sitting in the room with you, just having a chat and stitching away with no pressure to follow the rules or pattern.❤❤❤

    I love your sense of humor, found myself laughing because you talk, occasionally to your “stuff” like I do…everything is precious and beautiful, so I feel that it’s part of this life! I’ve been a seamstress most of my life, sewed all my clothes in high school, then graduated to more craft sewing, quilting small projects, silk ribbon embroidery, etc., but I’ve never seen this wonderful use of scraps and stitching with different colors, by hand, and rolling them on various wooden objects…how resourceful and frugal using leftover thread and fabrics! This has given me some needed encouragement and enthusiasm to move myself into “project” mode! I’ve been dormant for a long while now, but I’m tired of being tired and unmotivated! Thank you for all the wonderful ideas and I think I’m going to pull out my scrap basket and thread ❤🎉😊

I have always wondered what to do with them. I love just holding them, but now I know thanks to you. I was a dress maker when I left school in 1960. So my life has always been filled with all sorts of craft. My daughter and granddaughter have never shown any interest. But I have a great grand daughter who is showing a lot of interest in any sort of crafts. 👏🏻 I am fairly new to your channel, and loving every minute. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

    I have done a few medium size spools of meditation stitch rolls and have started a much larger one after finding a few huge wooden bobbins at a local antique store. I love putting stitches into the rolls. I usually close mine with a button with a strip of cloth or sari attached under it, then wrapped around the spool and the button, or just the strip wrapped around the spool and tucked under itself (no button).
    Your collection of sheet mends is wonderful! One of the things that reoccurs to me often while I stitch is the connection I have with women who stitched before me over the millennia. We are bound by a common act in an age when most people toss the old (socks or sheets, for example) and replace it with new, when we don’t need to know how to mend or even stitch by hand or machine. I love feeling connected to stitchers past and present!

    Thank you once again for such a lovely visit. I watch on tv while I stitch so I typically miss my commenting ! However, I’m watching while resting on my iPad and was thrilled to be able to comment this evening
    When you EVER PULLED your sheet stitching spool 🧵 I nearly fainted ! I have been working for 13 months collecting bits of French vintage / antique sheets and was just gifted last month from my pen pal in France who came by a small shop that had some scraps of sheets not only with lovely darns but even better, all gloriously embroidered with Monograms in red or blue !
    She sent me 12 squares for the 12 days of Christmas 🤶 part of my Christmas gift . We have sent 12 gifts to open 1 each day for the 12 days before Christmas!!
    Well I was gifted 13 this year and this one had a sweet note must be opened upon receiving?!? I’m so very happy! Over the moon with these 12 small very old and wonderfully tattered French sheets all linen 10x 10 inches .
    One day I was hoping to create a small book with my collection of French sheets, However .. not anymore. I’ve waited so long to create with my small collection. I feel like a child on Christmas morning opening up the very doll I had waited and hoped for all year long.
    Thank you from my heart 💜
    I can’t get started quite yet as I have 3 spools in my bag waiting to be finished before Christmas and sent to the UK , Finland & France ( I’m from the USA. ) These gals have been my pen pals for 4-5 years. I look forward to sending them these as they all include bits and pieces from each they have been sending me not knowing why ..

Так же она восхищена тканями, которые пережили не один век. В конце видео, есть белые кусочки, их она сделала из простыней старинного отеля, которые ей отдала подруга. Вся штопка которая была на этом белье, как книга по истории...монограммы...машинная, ручная штопка, сделанная тщательно, ловкими пальцами мастериц, или грубо, как первые стежки молодой девушки без опыта.

    Talking about twining and aching hands - my mother showed me a different way which is much less painful. We did it with the 2 of us together, each holding either end of the piece to be twined. She would twist one way and I would twist the other until it started to buckle and twist. Then we would thread it through the handle of some large sewing scissors without letting go, let it hang halfway along it and bring the 2 ends we were holding together, again without letting go. The scissors would hang down as a weight and it would spin because of the tension in the twisted piece. When it stopped spinning you had a beautiful twined cord! We used 1 strand at a time but I’m sure you could do the same thing with more than one … worth a try!

    This is genius! I do a lot of quilting and this the perfect way to track the fabrics I use in each quilt. I just finished a quilt and started one of these using the background fabric as the base piece. I then placed little cuttings of each of the other fabrics I used in the quilt on top of the base piece. I secured them with basting spray until I was able to stitch them down. I wrapped it around a peg style clothesline and tied with a thin strip of fabric used in the quilt. I hand journaled on the back of the base piece who the quilt was for and when I finished it. I'm calling these my scrappy quilt journals. I've been looking for a way to document each quilt in a more tactile manner and this is perfect and so much fun! Thank you for this great idea and tute!!!!!!

Not what i was searching for, but it was far more effective. Your commentary and the visual of slow stitching are hypnotic in a way that had my mind quieting down almost instantly. It reminds me of when my late grandmother would sew up the rips in my toys when i was younger and make up stories about my toys adventures and how they "really" got their rips.
