So excited to be working on Roxy’s Journal of Stitchery Volume 6 project which is to create a slow stitch fabric field notes journal, taking inspiration from books like Edith Holden’s The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady. #Roxysjournalofatitchery #slowstitching

In this video I will share my new idea to combine my specimens tins, William Morris designs, natures textures piece and other dimension pieces into a cabinet of curiousities. Thanks ‪@creepycutiecrafty‬ for your inspiration for this and apologies for not getting your YouTube name right in the video!

In this video I work on a miniature fabric field notes journal featuring Tim Holtz Stamps, hand stitched letting and a little doily and button enclosure (the latter added after the video). This will be part of the first cover panel for my standing up version of an accordion book that will make a gorgeous feature piece across the front of a bookshelf.

My piece will make use of lots of lovely vintage laces, doilies and trims that will add lots of texture and interest.

I show the start of thread painting the tulip using regular cotton.
