Your work is so inspiring…I love the colors & the way you stitch everything together. I have so many pieces of embroidery work from worn out pillowcases that I never knew what to do with until now, along with loads of silk ribbon embroidery pieces & loads of thread and other whatnots and doodads. 😁 I can’t seem to throw anything away not even a piece of thread… Lol. 😊 But now after watching you I can’t wait to get started. It’s such a wonderful way to spend an afternoon of quiet time. Thank you so much for sharing your time & work. 💐
Please know you have a lovely and calming voice, that makes it a delight to spend the time watching and getting ideas of how to make my own works. Love the work. You are a delight.
I just discovered your gorgeous work when Rachel mentioned you. You're creating incredibly beautiful collages of rescued stitchery in an absolutely charming manner. I can't believe you don't know many stitches yet and can't imagine what wonderful things you will create when you start using new stitches 🪡❣️🧵
Hi Laura! Welcome, welcome, welcome! Thank you for your kind words....I am blessed to have been inspired by Rachel, and now to be on this wonderful journey with so many makers! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and encourage. Sending blessings, sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤
I Love your work, it’s beautiful, the colors are so bright and beautiful! I look at your slow stitching and it makes me feel so happy and it warms my heart ❤️. Thank you for sharing. I cannot wait to get started on slow stitching!😊
Thank you Teri! I am so so sorry it has taken me so long to reply to your beautiful comment! It gives me so much joy to know that you are with me - thank you for your kindness and support! Hope too that you can get to stitching - it is sooo wonderful. Sending blessings, and again apologies. Sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤
I also love all of the colors of your work and the way everything seems to blend beautifully. It is very inspiring to see your projects and I really enjoy watching your channel. Keep at it!!! Excited to see all your projects.
Hi Tricia - thank you! Still learning and experimenting, but that is so much fun. Glad that you are enjoying. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment - I really appreciate it. Best wishes, Kate 😊❤❤
I found you by your stitched piece featured on the front and clicked it because I LOVE your style…similar to what I love to do and learning more from you! Those Victorian pieces are exquisite!❤ pink is so wonderful and I was NOT a pink girl growing up!
Hi Sherry - I am so glad that you clicked! I am excited to have you with my on the journey, especially the pink part of it! Like you, I have not been a pink person at all......but my Mum has always said that making with pink is joyful! So here I go.....getting brighter and brighter as it does really make me feel happy! Would love to see some of your work - do you have a channel? I so appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment, sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤
Thank you so much! I've all of sudden become colourful, even surprising myself I think! Thank you so much for your encouragement. Sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤❤❤❤
O glad that you have been inspire to go thrifting! I had to search a little for mine, but once in my hands just knew. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment Corinne. Sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤
Kate, I found your channel this am and have watched quite a bit. Sitting sewing on a Sunday afternoon and a new vid popped up, so I am sharing your joy. What you have encouraged me to do is cut some doilies and add to my project and lots of colour. So thank you. 🪡🧵🇦🇺
O Carol - what a lovely thing to say - sharing our joy! I am so glad that you have found me, and I really look forward to our stitching journey together. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. Sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤
O welcome Di - what a lovely thing to say! I am so glad that you are going to be with me on our joyful journey....certainly the colours are making me feel happy. Hope all is well with you - I so appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤
Hi Kate, gosh I’m enjoying watching your stitch videos. Thank you for sharing them with us. I think I’ll adopt your idea of doing a few stitches in something else before starting on what I’m working on. Often I find my first few stitches don’t sit right until I get the rhythm going. This might help. ❤
O I love that you are inspired to try starting like this. I truly find it a great way of both calming my mind and gaining inspiration. I would love to know more about your stitching projects. Will also be keen to hear if it helps you. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. Sincerely, Kate ❤❤❤
Hi Kate, just found you and am now a new subbie. Love your work, so pretty and you are so relaxing to listen to. It’s great to follow another Ozzie. Thanks for sharing, Lesley. 🪡🧵💝🇦🇺
Hi there Lesley - and welcome! I get so excited to find other Ozzies - so glad you found me! Thank you for joining me on the journey - blessed to be part of this community. Sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤
Lots of nodding going on here Kate while watching - weekend lawn mowing, the joys of our stitchery community, the getting lost in the flow of stitching and lots more I have probably forgotten. Love how your piece is progressing. So joyful. Regarding challenges of iPhone storage, I ended up getting a second hand old iPhone just to use for filming that doesn’t have a sim so I just upload on the home network. In case it is helpful, I also have a playlist for my Dictionary of Stitches where I shared a new stitch each day on video and lovely folks stitched along with me. It’s now a handy resource that I go back to often as I refresh myself on a stitch. I share the stitches in real time and in my bodgy way to make them approachable. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
O Christine - thank you so so much for watching and your help! Love that we are on the journey together, and I'm definitely going to look up your playlist - so appreciate! Also, thank you for advice re the storage - that make a lot of sense....Your inspiration and company has made my day! Excited now to learn with you....sincerely, Kate 😊😊❤
O I am so glad you like pink like my Mum. Now I've started, I don't think I will be able to stop using it - certainly is bringing joy. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. Sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤
Sending hugs straight back to you in beautiful NZ - thank you so so much! So glad that you like. I really appreciate your support and lovely comment - I'm smiling with joy! Sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤
Lovin’ the colors 🥰 I had leftover squares of quilted t-shirt ( because I don’t measure & just continue on until I feel like “ that’s enough”😂) I made a square bag. Took 8” of fabric, finished both ends, about a 1/2 shorter then each side, folded in 1/2, sewed a channel for a drawstring added to top of each side. I created something “ out of my imagination”❣️🥰…then “out of the blue” RUclips recommended “Japanese Rice Bag” 🙄 basically I modified a design that already existed 😂… Long story longer 😎 I think your 2 rectangles of slow stitch would look fabulous turned into a “box” bag❣️ I love how you giggle in your vids🤭
O Trish - here I go smiling again! Love how you share your creativity - please still take the cred for your design - it's yours alone and unique. 😊I'm a bit like that at the moment - because I haven't watched much on RUclips, suddenly I'm finding all this really really clever (and neat) experts, and feeling sometimes foolish about my wonky work. But because of your encouragement, I'm just going to keep going - and now my mind is going crazy about what a japanese rice bag looks like.....and how I could turn my slow stitched pieces into a bag - so inspired! Thank you thank you for bringing me joy. 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Hi Kate, just found your channel it popped up on my feed. That picture of your ideas looks so lovely. Love your box it’s so pretty ❤. I have a channel and very new at it.
Hi there and welcome welcome! I am so excited to hear that you are a newbie too. Please be encouraged and just do you! Very much appreciate your taking the time to watch and comment. Let's share the journey together. Sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤
Hi there - waving back to you in beautiful Tasmania! You are so kind to say that - really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Excited to have you with me on the journey. Sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤
O Tina - you are so so kind. I am not sure .......but I truly have enjoyed the process. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤
I have subscribed this morning Kate because your style is so colourful and courageous ❣️❣️🥰🥰😊. It helps that I love all shades of pink😉 but the way you cut into those doilies and lace can only be admired🫣🤭🤗👏🏼. You have inspired me to think less and “do it” . A great video another title for your channel could be “ stitching with gay abandon” 😊. You so right this stitching community is a wonderful place to spend time, thankyou. 🦋🌻
O welcome Trish - this means so much to me, truly I am so grateful. Thank you for your encouragement and very kind words. I love the idea of gay abandon - that truly is what I'm doing I think! I am so glad that you have found me and we can stitch together. Sending blessings, sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤
@@yaseminersoy5846 O Jasemin - I will always remember you - that is so kind of you to say. And I think you are my first from Turkey - welcome welcome! ❤🧡💛💚💙
How did you attach the long piece of work to the body of the box and to the top of the box? Did you use fabric glue, hand stitch to existing fabric or another method? Such lovely work.
Hi Leslie! Thank you so much for liking. I used fabric glue first, for top and around. And then, hand stitched the pink to cover. Not perfect, but did mostly cover the original colour peeping through. Hope this helps - are you making a box too? If so, hope it's going well. Sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤
Hi Anita! O I love that you like my stitching too......it is bringing me joy indeed. I am sure you will sort your garden - I can't quite imagine what gardens look like in the Netherlands - do you have some favourite things in your garden? I bought the creative stitching book - it sort of has a stitch per page and very clear. Loving it so far! Please take care. Sincerely, Kate ❤❤❤
Thank you so much much! it is lovely of you to take the time to watch and comment - I am so glad you like my word. Sending blessings, sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤
Hi Twiggy. So lovely to hear from you. I've got just 2 layers - woollen backing, and then the doilies on top. If I'm making a pouch I would have 3 - the top, wool, and lining. Hope this helps (I'm going to make a piece from scratch this week too....) Sending blessings, Kate ❤❤❤
Hi there - thank you so much! Would love to say that I did make the ring, but found them already beautifully made in Thailand. Totally beautiful and so inexpensive! ❤❤❤
