Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh! How exciting! I can't wait! I just went to Sue Spargo's store yesterday for the very first time and that alone was an adventure. I had to drive 3 hours to get there and spent over 2 hours shopping while my dear hubby waited for me in the truck. I now have a wonderful selection of threads so bring it on! I can't wait to use them!

@@roxycreations679 It is a wonderful store and I want to sing praises to the young lady who helped me put together all that I bought! She went above and beyond and in today's world that is rare. I bought three kits ranging in ability and she sorted everything so that I didn't buy duplicates. I stayed within my budget even though I did have a nice budget. There is more to the store that I have to explore so I do see a trip in my future! I wish I lived closer because on Wednesdays you can join a sit and stitch!

So excited about this!!

I cannot tell you how excited I am about this. I have been collecting fabric for decades, but I’m not a quilter, so I’ve done nothing with it. The idea of making a journal of stitchery is genius, and I can’t wait to get started. Making the book itself is what scares me, but I’m going to give it a try.

Hi, thank you, again for these inspiring lessons, (or perhaps you would rather think of them as demonstrations.) I had been stuck quite badly, no idea what to do. But I remembered a glimpse of one from this ep.1 and it particularly got me going. It was one with a vibrant red colouring, some crocheted pieces and heavily stitched. Soo, I made myself an accordion book framework, collected many of my practice pieces, added pages of base background, (unembellished) pieces to work on, squared things up, unpicked, added, subtracted, and generally prepared a book ready for stitching in, when the whim takes me. Thank you so much for your generosity. This plus your junk journal work must keep you very busy! How ever you keep coming up with ideas, I'll never know. I just hope you keep coming up with more.

Sarah kind of described what slow stitching is in her video. It's taking the time to slow down and handstitch no machine. It then incorporates other types of stitching like embroidery. Slow Stitching is more free, laying fabrics, embracing holes, raw edges, fraying, texture and imperfections. It is really wonderful! Thank you so much!

I'm busting with excitement! I just saw Sarah's video and I'm so happy you're doing this! My goal for 2022 is to do more slow stitching - this is perfect! One page a month will be so fun! Thank you!!!!
