This is the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen anyone make. My God. I couldn’t imagine someone taking the time to make something, even close to this, in my memory. What an honor for your godmother
That is the most beautiful memory book I’ve ever seen. And the stories about your aunt…so endearing. My 96-year-old mother died last year. I have many old photos and memorabilia. You’ve given me some great ideas to do a similar book in her memory. Thank you! And I love the matchbook…ingenious! Please share more, and keep narrating the stories. I love the stories!
Hi Donna thanks so much. I'm sorry for your loss. 🙏❤️ I hope if you make a book, it brings you peace and joy in fond memories of your mother. Blessings ❤️
I'm grateful RUclips suggested one of your stitching videos to me today. I'm guessing it's because I follow one slow-stitching group (Roxy's Journal of Stitchery). I'm not a stitcher...I am a junk journal enthusiast, but I dabble in slow stitching and using fabric in my journals. One of the gals I follow in the journal world attended this same workshop last year in Vienna. Her name is Barbara. Did you happen to attend that same workshop? I thought her memory journal was so amazing, so I was instantly drawn to this video of yours! I'm a 65 year old American. I must tell you that your flip through of this stunning journal was totally captivating for me!! I won't bother to try and find adequate words, but it's the most powerful memory journal I've ever seen!! It must be such a treasure for you and the process must have been quite the emotional journey!! THANK YOU for sharing such a personal work of art with us! I could have sat for hours, listening to your gentle, and English!,😊 voice talk about the book and your aunt for hours!! You left me wanting to know more about her & your relationship with her! Thank you again for sharing it in such a loving way...on your lap...as if I was sitting next to you! May the fairies still visit & bless you!❤
Thank you so much that is so sweet of you. I actually took Alex's online course after finding her on Instagram. It would be lovely to do an in person course with her one day. It was a very special few weeks creating the book, I worked on it nearly full time. It was like spending time with my Auntie again. ❤️ PS my daughter Lily actually filmed me, she is 19 and was named for my Auntie. 🥰
Tears in my eyes what a wonderful thing to do for someone! It shows what a caring Lady you are. My heart is full of memories of so many of my family. Thank You for sharing it was just so touching a tribute to someone you love so.
Really beautiful book and stories. Made my heart ache for such memories i dont really have. I can hear your voice is different here than in other videos, more full of rich emotion. Love it, thank you for sharing.
Me too Jean, I had to watch it twice also. Absolutely glorious. What an incredible tribute. Thank you for sharing your precious Aunt, and her busy & beautiful life, with us. 🙏🪡🧵
I had an Aunt Lillie, too (probably spelled differently).. my Mama’s oldest sister.. I’m very connected to her memory.. Mama was the youngest of five and I was the youngest of her five. My 2 older sisters were inspired by our Aunt Lillie’s cooking and were also excellent cooks..Her house is still in the family.. I am ‘left’ with so many wonderful memories bc my family told the stories of their past.. I’m grateful our sons knew them bf they (now have) passed away.. Your work inspires me.. Thank you!!
Hi, Kathryn! Such a beautiful, beautiful tribute to your aunt. The book is absolutely amazing. So many details of her life make this book a true keeper of memories. I loved the wedding ring ❤️💙🖤💜💚💛🧡💗♥️
Wow, what a stunning journal! 😍And such a beautiful tribute to your aunt. I’m so glad to have found your channel and am looking forward to your slow stitching videos. New subbie from New Zealand 🤗❤️
what a beautiful way to remember and carry someone with you though life - to honor their impact on the world. It is a wonderful thing you did for her memory, I hope she is warm whenever you see the book. Amazing work
This brought home how much was trashed when my Nan went into a nursing home. I have two pieces of furniture and some ornamental oddments but very little her daily life. I also learnt that you and I are close in age as I was born in 1967, so things you refer to growing up I can relate to😀. Do you intend doing any dye videos? If you have and I’ve not spotted sorry for question. Your reference to buddleia (cannot spell at this moment in time and no correction found by algorithm) flowers giving a gold colour in other video was new to me. That’s a project for next years list. Thank you for showing your memory book, it was lovely to see and hear her story😃
I am '65 vintage 😉 You spelling of buddleia is spot on, or at least that's how I spell it! I may do some dyeing and ecoprint videos next year, when the weather is good so I can film outside. ♥️
What a lovely remembrance! I can imagine that creating a remembrance book like this can be very meditative and healing after the loss of someone dear. 🥰
This is beautiful…I’m so glad you had such a lovely woman in your life. The techniques you’ve used with photographs attached with thread are interesting…thanks for sharing.x
She seems to me to have been a such a wonderful person to have known and loved. Your book shows how much you valued her and loved her (and your incredible talent of course). I’m going to watch that again to really study the page elements ❤️❤️⭐️
Although it's not possible to see very much of the contents of your "keeper of memories" book - I have to confess it brought a tear to my eye. 🤦 I have been keeping "memory boxes" since I was about 10 and I realized that I have scant material going back in time - sadly my Mum was living in England and developed Dementia and got it into her head to get rid of photos - I remember most of them and can visualize the album the older ones were in. This has made me think "if not now when?" I shall make a journal like that for my daughter and perhaps also write up what I can remember of those photos and past times generally. Big love from Scotland ❤️ and sorry about the long text - like a stream of consciousness outwith my control 🤦
Don't apologise Margaret. A lovely idea to make a journal for your daughter. I keep meaning to film another flip through of this journal now I have a proper stand and light. I will get round to it one day 😉♥️
what a gorgeous memory book- the most beautiful i have ever seen!!! thankyou for sharing it is so personal and such attention to every little detail! did u use photocopies of the diary entries and the various letters? hope u will show more of your lovely work!!! it sounds like u had a beautiful relationship and that she is missed greatly!
Thank you so much, I used mostly photocopies but I used some originals as well, also the photos. I kind of made a judgement call for each item, but they were all just sitting in a box in the spare room otherwise. ♥️
one day would you be able to do a flip through with your new camera setup? pleeeEase i would so love to see this closer it looks so interesting. its okay if you cant. just thought i would ask
@@k3n.clothtales Hi Kathryn, I’m very very new to this but I’m in love! I love my ragged old planners and anything crinkly , old raggy cloth so this is right up my ally ! I’ve already got some bits that I found after going through bags of stuff I got when I bought my machine off an old quilter. I’m so excited to start! I don’t know how to widen a spine but do you have a tutorial on it? Your aunty’s memory book is so beautiful. What a wonderful way to remember her. I have some very old French pieces my grandfather got for my grandmother when he was in France in the war. I am around your age so as you can imagine, quite some time ago now. I also have a beautiful old cotton and lace nighty ( precious ) but now I can immortalise them in this way. Thank you so much for sharing and thank you so much for replying. Noni 🦋
I have a couple of tutorials on making books with cloth covers that give the basic binding technique I use but I haven't done a journal from an old book on here yet. A friend recently gave me a fabulous but falling apart children's book and I am planning to make it into a journal or 'artist book'. It might be a few weeks though. The other tutorials are in the tutorials playlist. ❤️❤️❤️
@@k3n.clothtales Hi again, I have a few very old children’s books too that I’ve picked up from opshops. I had one as a kid and that’s why I got them but I think they’ll be great for this type of thing. These are old English books Children’s Wonder Book in colour 1, 2 & 3 Play Hour Annual 1964 The Children’s Golden Treasure Book 1930s-40s
I this is a lovely tribute to your grandmother. I would love to make something like this for my mother and father's and their parents. I have a lot of memorabilia that would be perfect for a journal. Thank you for sharing your ideas!
How precious. I now feel like I would enjoy trying to put something together along with your 2024 tutorials that will be remembering my dear dad 😊. I have photos and some war time info, snippets in a small diary he wrote 🙏🏻🧵

I'm in total agreement with you, Donna!
And I agree that you should definitely make one of your own about your mother!❤
What beautiful creations. Lovely ideas.. Love your style 😁
Your work is amazing! I can just imagine how it feels in hand.
What a gift to honor her memory in such a beautiful way. She must have been a very lovely person❤

Excellent! Happy to hear it's more widespread than just Yorkshire 😁
My grandmother used to use that phrase too. She was from Derbyshire ❤
I have my Aunt's 'BeRo' cookbook. Its been well used, looking at its condition 😅
I must ask my Mum if she still has her copy 😊
AMAZING ❤❤❤
Hi from Australia 👋🏼 I absolutely love this. Did you take the original pages out of the book? Thanks
Hello, yes I took the covers off the text block and widened the spine. ♥️
