Very excited by the Roxy’s Journal of Stitchery prompt for the month of June which is to create a slow stitch vessel or bowl.

The version I’m going to share with you is very easy to make from little scraps of fabric on a felt or blanket base, and to decorate with simple slow stitching stitches.

My piece is inspired by a poem by the incredible Mary Walker titled Wild Fruit. Please check out Mary Walker’s website and instagram:

With thanks to Rachel ​⁠‪@roxycreations679‬ and Sarah ​⁠‪@roxycreationsbysarah‬ for yet another fun project prompt! So many ideas whizzing around my head! I don’t believe you will ever run out of great ideas!

With thanks too to Annie Claxton from ​⁠‪@artyfartyannie‬ who got me started on this fabric panel as part of her Colour inspirations project earlier this year.

I hope you enjoy this idea and tutorial to make an easy slow stitch container or vessel using scraps of fabric. And maybe you want to take a poem or piece of writing as inspiration too!
