We had a cuckoo clock and a Westminster chime and I loved them both, especially at night as I could hear them from my bed when I wasn't able to sleep. I enjoy listening to Big Ben at news time on TV/radio. My morning time to get up alarm call nowadays comes from the little garden birds singing outside my window... so lovely.
great prompt and piece- I am doing individual 6x6 pieces. My Jan. one turned out lovely. It does take me a whole month because I also do paper crafts so this pace is perfect. I already know I have some fabric with clocks !!! can't send any pics. I'm in a narrow technology lane. LOL
I’m new to slow stitching. I’ve seen a lot of snippet rolls. What exactly are they and what is the purpose for them. I’m more interested in making something useful like a lap throw to start off with. Thanks PS- Really enjoy watching your channel.
Thank you! Snippet rolls can be used for decoration - like a table runner, mantle piece, or fabric book. It's more about the process and the artistic expression, instead of a funtional piece. I can understand how you would enjoy creating something functional/useful. Maybe a small quilt?
The fusible interfacing does add weight and "fight" to the piece when you are sewing by hand. I look for lightweight interfacing. I like to use darner needles or needles with a heavier weight.
Great question! I am considering how I want to add them. I want to do some work at the end of the year to "blend" the months with additional stitching and maybe I will use the month titles in that process. I also want to work on the start of the roll - with a scroll or something at each end. So many decisions!
Your Felix the Cat clock turned out super cute.
Thanks so much!
I remember that clock !!! How sweet
Thanks! Fun memory!
Hi Daniela:

Oh thanks! You just inspired me to try an Easter Table Runner. Perfect. 😍
What needle do you use to sew when using the fusible! I found it to fight the needle a bit and it became frustrating. Fun project!!😊

What about stamping the month? When do you decide to do that?

I ended up making a piece that says: Time 4 Peace in honor of Ukraine
Sounds lovely.
