I've probably commented on this video already, but I just have to say it again. This is just sooo lovely. It's delicate muted colors are masterfully chosen and worked. It's the most beautiful piece I've ever seen. I'm not trying to sound gushy..I really mean it. Bravo
I’m going back over some of your videos Lauretta. I do love your crazy quilt blocks. They are so beautifully embellished and your stitching is SO neat. I do love your work. Definitely an heirloom piece. This would take me forever but you do inspire me to do some stitching. Tfs xx
Talk about an exciting piece Lauretta, this is it! Really amazing and what a beautiful job! You really get me going when I see stuff like this but I do know my limitations AND PATIENCE level at this age! Ha I admire these qualities in you. I truly enjoy all of your projects and know I am a quilter at heart! Hope you do this for a long time to come! Tfs👩❤️👩👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🪡🧵🧶
It’s so pretty Lauretta. Love how it looks sewn together. One of my favorite things I watched you make. It will look beautiful where ever you decide to hang it. Gorgeous!!!! 😍
I just had the idea to do a slow stitch quilt but wasn’t sure how to go about it until I finally found your video! Such a huge help!! Thank you so much!!
Love it! So beautiful Lauretta! Thank you for sharing your tips. Would love a slow stitch piece like this gorgeous one on my wall too. Hopefully soon I will get some time and I already have lots of inspirations thanks to you sharing all your lovely work with us. Ines
This was such a helpful video. I'm new to slow stitching and your work is breathtaking. If I ever do enough to hang on a wall at least I'll know how to finish it properly!
I use spray glue to hold my sandwich in place and find it amazing white I hand quilt to keep everything in place. It does not discolor or stain. I use it on large quilts. Will not use any other method.
I know a lot of people who use that method! That's a good method. I've tried it but apparently keeping spray glue from going places it shouldn't is not one of my skills so I stick to needle and thread. :-) lol Thank you for watching. xo
Merci! Je ne sais pas comment faire la vidéo en français. Je pense que tu peux le faire de ton côté. J'utilise google translate pour ce texte écrit. Je suis vraiment désolé pour tout inconvénient.
Wow thats just gorgeous 🌼 Ive just began to make a slow stitch journal cover have no i dea but Im just having a look around to see what people are doing I dont think ill get to your standard but it is fun Cheers 🇦🇺🌺🌼 Oh I have made quilts 27 of them in fact but sort of moved onto journals Also Ive never learnt embroidery thats sad 🤔
27 quilts! That's awesome! I love to make quilts. I sort of rotate my hobbies, so I am still making quilts. Every now and then I will share one on here, but they are hard to film. :-) I know several people who have moved from quilts to journals. I'm not sure what it is, but the allure of journal making is quite strong. And satisfying. I absolutely love it. I wish you good luck. I have a play list on some embroidery stitches (and you can find lots of other YT videos and channels on how to make certain embroidery stitches) but just know that "slow stitching" does not require a lot of accuracy. Here's a link to a journal cover that I did. Maybe it'll give you some ideas: ruclips.net/video/hEFhkwvGdFU/видео.html
You can either put a quilter's sleeve on the back (google out to make a sleeve for a quilt). On smaller quilts I use those plastic knitting circles and baste them on the back and then hang them on a nail. Have fun!!! xo
Your slow stitching is a work of Art. So beautiful Lauretta! Can you tell me what “in the ditch” means? Is that where the blocks are stitched together? Your wall hanging is jus amazing! Thank you so much for participating today. 💖
Thank you, Susan. Yes "stitch in the ditch" is a quilters term. It means to quilt where the pieces are joined. In my case on this piece, I'm stitching in the ditch where I joined the six blocks. Other than that, I'm loosely quilting around some of the other items, wherever I think I can hide or disguise my stitches so that they don't take away from the embroidery. Thank you for inviting me to participate today! xo
I don't have a video where I sewed the blocks together. When you decorate your blocks just make sure you keep your stitches etc about 1/4 to a 1/2 inch away from the edge. Then you just take two blocks and lay them right sides together and sew along one edge and sew them together. You can either use a machine or a long running stitch by hand. I had six blocks, so once two of them were sewn together, I added the third in the same way. So then I have one row finished. Then I repeated these steps for the second row: sew two blocks together, add the third. Then I sewed the top row to the bottom row. Then if you want, you can go back and add things to cover up the seams like laces, trims, appliques or stitches. If you don't mind having the blocked look then you don't have to add anything to your piece at all. I will try and demonstrate this in an upcoming video for you. It might be a few days until I get it up, so hit the notification bell so that you'll know when I post it. Thank you! xo

Omg, thank you so very much. That just made my whole day. xoxo
I agree - it looks almost vintage - Victorian style- I am inspired to try this and have such a stash of ribbons and lace it would be a shame not to
I’m going back over some of your videos Lauretta. I do love your crazy quilt blocks. They are so beautifully embellished and your stitching is SO neat. I do love your work. Definitely an heirloom piece. This would take me forever but you do inspire me to do some stitching. Tfs xx
It’s a masterpiece
Absolutely beautiful! Love all of your fabric choices, embroidery stitches and embellishments. Lovely!
Thank you very much! xo
This is the most beautiful slow stitch that I have seen, stunning work. I must give this type of stitching a try.
Oh, thank you for your kind words, Jane. I hope you give it a try. It's very forgiving!! Take care. xo
Your composition and stitching is just plain eye candy. I love this piece.
Thank you so much! xo
Elmers glue also works and doesn’t discolor the fabric. I have used it in quilting to tack fabrics together prior to quilting.
