We had harvest gold shag carpet where I grew up, and avocado green shag in the closets. My mom rarely dropped pins or needles but us kids did lose some lapel pins. Got in tons of trouble when my Dad found them with his bare feet.
It is gorgeous Rachel. I absolutely love b it as will Anne. I am a quilter first so this speaks to me. You have such an array of materials in your stash. Love them all. Thank you fir the share. Now you’ve got me thinking.
Very pretty. Thanks for putting the other ladies channels in the info. I was already subscribed to Jeanette's channel. I will be fun to follow all of you.
LOVE ❤️ your sewing videos, as I LOVE ❤️ your slow stitching and of course I will be following all of you and so happy to be on this awesome journey you’ve all begun........thx 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥰🥰🤗🤗🇨🇦🇨🇦.....oh and 🙋🏻♀️ yes to shag carpet 🤣 as we called it here in Canada, we had to rake it so it stood up nice & fluffy 🤦🏻♀️
I don't know if my opinion matters at all, I would tend to vote a resounding NO! -- but I love your sewing videos -- all of you ladies are so so talented and I think it's fabulous you are all doing this. I still drool over your fabric collection -- and all that thread for two bucks -- sigh ... I love Jeanette's channel -- she is so kind and so so talented -- it will be a treasured item with each of your works in the same project -- oh, I was fast running out of space on my phone, even after I installed a memory chip -- I do not have an I phone, I have like the microsoft one -- but I started saving things like videos and pix "to the cloud" and I also began attaching them and emailing them to myself in case the cloud crashed -- it has helped a lot -- I have almost zero to none tech skills, but I also began saving on my computer the pdfs of the digi kits I buy -- I love yours because you guys always go the extra mile and give both a pdf and the jpeg versions -- and so I have two places where I store them, on my harddrive and on the cloud -- which is technology from about 20 years ago -- me shaking my own head and rolling my own eyes at myself !!!
I love all your videos lol. This is something that is very relaxing. Not worried about how big my stitches are or if something is not straight. Being a quilter it’s been very hard for me to do. Even with making journals and paper it’s hard not to have everything straight. 🤗🤗
I, also, was taught to baste my work before stitching but we always used a bright, contrasting thread so we wouldn't forget to pull any of the basting threads. Seeing your example made me think I might try a journal cover like this. Thanks. 🇨🇦
Love love love it Rachel!!!!! I saw Anne open it on her channel and then saw your video pop up in my notifications. This is absolutely,ute,y beautiful and I love your little puff with the bits in the middle !!!!! Can’t wait to see what you do for the lovely Jeanette !!! ❤️😊🍄
So fun and pretty Rachel. Love the fabrics you chose for this one. Hope to see all of them before you ship them to their new homes. We had the orange mingled shag carpet. Hated that stuff! It’s hard to tell what all got lost in it!!! Lol Have a great weekend! Love & Hugs. 🍁🌻🎃👻🍂 PS - Oh Wow! Love how this turned out. So pretty and the little bag is just awesome!!!
This is truly a piece of artwork, so much is going on and yet so delicately stitched. Its beautiful. I am not a sewer, and i hated the classes in school when we would have to make something to wear, i was sure the sewing machines just did not like me. lol lol but hand stitching, I would love to learn. I am going to find all your other vids on it now. thank you for this video. xxx
Hi Rachel, you did a wonderful job on Ann's block, I really love the combination of colours and it looks so tactile too. Gorgeous, I'm sure she will love it. Xx
I have never made slow stitching but when I was young I made a lot of embroidery. I am very inspired and have seen all of Anne’s videos and I am now trying to make some. So when I need some time off my junk journals or in front of the tv in the evening I can make this. I am working on a rule right now so I can make it for my spine like you have done in one of your journals...SO beautiful 😍 Thanks for sharing your ideas I absolutely love this... Hugs Tina 🎄🙋♀️
What lovely work!! 🧵 I can relate to your Mum’s experience. My Mom made most of our clothes growing up. I was trying on a new outfit she had made me for school (10th grade). She had marked the hem and left her sewing needle in the pants to help mark the length. She told me to be careful taking it off. Well of course I lost the needle, not in carpet but on the bathroom tile floor. While trying to find it I actually stepped on in and it snapped in half. We looked and looked but could only find half of the needle. There wasn’t any real pain and very little blood. It was just like a pin prick. No big deal. Six months later we found the needle. Yes it was still in my foot. It went in on the ball of my foot behind the big toe then traveled all the way to my pinky toe. It was protruding out the side of my foot. Running in gym class really aggravated it. We had no idea what was happening with my foot so Mom took me to get it x-rayed. That’s when we solved the mystery of the missing broken needle. It had to be cut out. I have a cute little “x” scar on my foot.
Wow! I'm breathless watching your project. I just purchased some antique linens this morning to make journal bags and this video popped up. I love that your style is so unique that it translates into both your paper and stitiching projects. I have learned so much from you in the past year and I am so grateful!
I live for anything your do with a needle....this piece for Anne is just so lovely...and her reaction was priceless..I love this project between you all...just so much happiness!!
I know this is from a few years ago, but I think it's surprising (rude) that someone would tell you they don't like your sewing videos and you have to mention they have the option of moving on to something else....🤣 Especially since you've shared that this is something that you share with your Mum and Sis. How I wish my daughter shared my passion for crafting. Now you've become a well known fiber artist with lots of followers just for that. So lovely to see your older videos as I stitch.
I love your work. Your choices are always so amazing it is the part I struggle with a bit, but I love slow stitching. I skip the tacking as I use a sewline fabric glue stick. That works for me
Anne's unveiling....I was holding my breath!!! Truly SPECTACULAR Rachel...omg..what a great project you're all involved in...every piece a work of art!!! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!!! xo
It’s absolutely lovely to see someone who works with, do I hate to say it, old fashioned methods. I would only do this to make something specific for friends who would appreciate the work gone in, but you’ve really got my juices flowing! 🥴🤩👩❤️👩 will definitely be starting a project very quickly. Thank you for the inspiration Bye 💁🏼♀️
This first block is just lovely. So soft and very pleasing to the eye. The vintage fabrics and antique laces are to die for. Again your eye for color and placement are spot on. I have been watching several of the other ladies and each has a style of their own.
Beautiful! I I love watching you sew x We had a brown shag pile carpet in our first home and we used to have to rake it after it had been vacumed to lift the pile!!!
The finished piece is absolutely beautiful. Your ideas are so wonderful. My name is Ann - just in case you want to make another one! I can't imagine being able to do this while watching television. I would have stitches all over the place!
This is stunning!!! You really have an eye for color, pattens, and placement. Absolutely gorgeous. I have started slow stitching myself. I really enjoy it and hope to get better!!! Thank you for sharing!
Wow, just when I thought you couldn’t get anymore amazing, you take me over the moon!!! You are so amazingly talented! You managed to marry my two loves, fabric and paper, in one channel. Thank you Rachel! I will have so much fun watching and playing along with this playlist as I just stumbled across this part of your channel. You are just a beautiful gem!
I just love hearing about other people's thought process when creating and this was wonderful, you did such a lovely piece for Anne which she was so excited to receive. It's a great collab Susanna put together and will be a lot of fun to watch over the coming months, thank you so much for the video and take care :) - Jeanette
I saw Anne unwrap this as well ! Love it! I saw the piece you included from French General , and actually recognized it from some I had from my quilting stash ! Not familiar with one several of you mention - Sanderson . Also have a lot of vintage lace I have from my “mum” using your term . Your voice is very soothing . Helping all of us get through this pandemic.
So lovely! What a precious block! I know Anne will love this! (Loves this)! Thank you for sharing! Oh, I had almost the same experience as your mom except it was a needle and it went in eye first! You could see the eye in the ex ray! It broke off in my big toe so they had to ex ray to find it!
How amazing to be a part of such a talented group and in the end, have something from each person. It certainly helps that you have such amazing fabrics. This is going to be amazing to watch over the months. Putting your videos up on YT and scheduling them to air each month is the best way to do it. You can also download to your computer then to an external drive. 🤗💕
I’ve seen this already on Anne’s site and she was delighted. I’ve been a fan of Anne’s work for years. Your block is lovely and is so much her colour choice from the slow stitching she did earlier this year. I’d love to attend a textile fair in Italy and look for the lace. I love stitching by hand and my love of textiles has been a constant in my life since I was about 7 - so over .......years ago! The other constants have been reading and classical music. . Thank you for showing this. I’m a stitcher adrift among the paper crafters and enjoying myself.
Looks fantastic 👌 really enjoyed watching you work and chat,lol.....ps...your poor mummy😟that must've been AWFUL.......those old shaggy carpets have a lot to answer for 😆😆😆........tfs X
It is so beautiful, you are definitely inspiring me to give this a go. I haven't hand stitched since I was a girl and my embroidery days were quite awhile ago too. Looks so fabulous TFS Hugs and Smiles
Love your process and watching you stitch, lm pre recording mine too, but have scheduled the video's on RUclips it will store it for you Months ahead of time so you wont need to keep it on your phone. Anne loved your piece, it is all very exciting. Tfs hugs Susanna xx 😊❤🧵
In the early 1980's I had a green shag pile carpet in a bathroom, with an avocado bath suite and wallpaper with huge tropical leaves, totally hideous now but very on trend at the time. When I'm m not papercrafting I knit, but slow stitching is definitely something on my "to try" list. x
Absolutely beautiful! I loved this. I can't wait to see how you make then next ones and what you make them with as far as colors, textures and pattern. Also, thank you for the tips on everything. They are greatly appreciated. Take care ps... I am trying to learn how to sew by hand and slow stitch... Basics first....Eventually, maybe something like this.
Love that. I have been to Seaforth shop a few times. That type of shop is so handy and such fun, a big treasure hunt. I’m trying a bit of this stitching at the moment. Don’t you hate that insecurity? That piece of Sanderson is gorgeous. There is something about their softened , sort of stone washed, look. Could you put the cotton in your shop? Or is too awkward a shape etc? No never had the shaggy carpet, Berber carpet was the ants pants.Ive got expensive Aurifil threads. I’m not going to use that for tacking, no, no, no. Appliqué only for that one. The finished piece is stunning.
Oh my goodness, if I had to take that an do anything with it other than put it in a frame and hang it on my wall I would be disobedient and not follow the brief at all!!!! I am sure they would drum me out of the join-up-and-make-stuff society for LIFE!!!! :-) My dear, don't feel intimidated in the LEAST, that is BEAUTIMOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very beautiful one of a kind gift. I had purple shag carpet in my room as a teen in the 70's.
Oh wow, purple!!!! Thank you so much!
We had harvest gold shag carpet where I grew up, and avocado green shag in the closets. My mom rarely dropped pins or needles but us kids did lose some lapel pins. Got in tons of trouble when my Dad found them with his bare feet.
Oh I can imagine, my dad would have gone bananas! Thank you so much!
I also watched Anne unwrap your beautiful creation. She was very pleased with what you sent her. Just lovely.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful .unique a Collab to cherish. .
Thank you so much!
Absolutely love Anne’s block! So beautiful.

I like that block, something one would never tire of looking at. Thanks so much for demonstrating your composition process.:)
Thank you so much!
My grandmother used to have a magnet on a string that she would run across the floor to pick up the pins. It worked great
Sounds like a great idea!
I saw the finished piece on Anne’s site today. Gorgeous!you do fantastic work. 👏🏻😊❤️

My shag carpet in 1972 was burnt orange. My vacuum had a rake attachment on the front of it. 😂
I think my aunt had that colour in Melbourne!
I love burnt orange & burnt fuchsia

This is so gorgeous! I’m sure Ann loved it.
Thank you so much!
Wonderful I’ve seen Anne reveal this as she unwrapped your package. Thank you for sharing this, wonderful so inspiring.

This is all going to be gorgeous! Love the sewing videos! Wish i had more hours in the day for it! (And a sewing room! 🤓)
Thank you so much!
🙋🏻♀️Avocado green carpet. It had a special rake lol
Hahaha love it!
I just love that colour combo, Rachel.
Thank you so much!
Oh my goodness, if I had to take that an do anything with it other than put it in a frame and hang it on my wall I would be disobedient and not follow the brief at all!!!! I am sure they would drum me out of the join-up-and-make-stuff society for LIFE!!!! :-) My dear, don't feel intimidated in the LEAST, that is BEAUTIMOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much!
