    4/1/2024. Just found this and love it. I started something like it last year, but haven't got on with it. You have inspired me to keep on with it. Thanks for that. My name is Judy, I'm from Australia, and I'm 80 yrs.

      Hello Judy. I am 77 years from New Orleans, Louisiana. Sewing in any form has been a tonic.

    I really enjoy this format, especially if it means we get to see more of your lovely work and creative inspiration! I have 50 years worth of bits and pieces hanging around that I will be looking at with a fresh eye. What a charming way to give the little pieces we’ve accumulated over the years a chance to shine!

    How fun would it be to sit down in an afternoon and put together 12 kits of little paraphernalia for yourself and open them up monthly to do this project. Fun group project too. Either get together to slow stitch or trade kits.

    This gives me a wonderful idea to make a book of some of my Mom's embroidery from a quilt that's over 50 years.
    Couldn't save the quilt but now I can save her pieces and add a little for my sons and grandsons and maybe even my new great-grand son. Like Judy I'm 75 years and found your channels.

    I’m watching this in December 2023, so you will have completed the book. I have to search it out to see what you decided to do with the cover. But, as you were going through the pages and talking about your creative process, I started to think what I might do if I made a book like this. I have some tatting pieces that I tried using my grandmother’s shuttle, and I thought they would be interesting to add. And then you got to November and wow! You had some tatting that month, I was so excited! Who knows? Maybe I will have a play with a book like this. Thank you for the inspiration.

    I like the idea of making a little stitch book at leisure, rather than having to work to a time schedule. That way I think you can do your best work and be more creative. I love the variety of pages and designwork and so nice to collate them into a precious little book of embroidery. TFS, it is delightful.

    Thanks for sharing this, I think it is a fabulous way of capturing lots of little treasures, those bits you buy because you love them so much but then realise you can not bare to use them on a project or commission to see them go. This way you get to display and enjoy them forever in your possession all together. What a delight!

  • @dorothyhopkins5460
    @dorothyhopkins5460 2 года назад +8

    Have you thought of putting the pages together using Coptic stitch. It is something they do in bookbinding and there are tutorials on RUclips. It does not squash the pages down and gives the book a better finish. Love this different channel and seeing what you make. Thanks

    Sarah, you have inspired me to make an embroidery book. You're so creative. I love the gold work you add to the projects. It gives it a nice sparkle. I aspire to become a good embroiderer one day, not as good as you but good enough to teach my children.

    • @sarahhomfraycreates

    I'm so excited by this. It feels like a great way to combine quite a few crafts I enjoy with embroidery - cross-stitching, felting, even scrapbooking of sorts with the collages and applique. Maybe I can incorporate some crochet as well.
    I love this format and can't wait for your next video here.

    they are so beautiful! i can't seem to get excited about stitch books, as it drives me insane having such beautiful pieces hidden from sight.
    if i had the blessing of owning such gorgeous works, I'd create a wall-hanging from them. maybe something in a calendar layout? i don't know.. but Sarah, i adore how even your little personal pieces are such stunning works.
    I'd say a particular one if i could, but they are all stunning.
