Once upon a time I planted 200 tulip bulbs using the tossing method you described. Surprisingly, the local Squirrels replanted them in a much more natural design ... across the neighborhood.

Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦

I am memorized by your craft. After my current sewing project, I am going to try some of the stitches and patchwork scraps. Quilting would consume me. Besides I would make a quilt by hand, not machine. These smaller crafts are amazing and can be applied to other projects.

I actually followed your tutorial & made myself a cloth pouch to keep the meditation scroll in that your other video (& you, of course) taught me how to make. I’m going to follow along for the 52 lessons, because so far I’m really surprising myself by enjoying it.

Hello from Murchison, near the top of the South Island of New Zealand. There's so many things I love about this Balance piece, but I especially like the eco-died fabric and the yin-yang seed stitching. I've made the woven project from last week. I will join your facebook group and post a pic. I say applique as the Americans do. And I found your cloth twine tutorial easy to follow. There's something rather special about the feeling of the finished twine. I'm looking forward to making a bowl with it. Thank you for the effort you go to in publishing a video each week. They are hugely inspirational and motivating. x

Thank you. While you were doing the stitching you told about others who liked using the techniques for 'useful things'. F.e. bags ... then an idea entered my mind: I already have some bags I made, so I don't need another bag. But one of my bags is getting some thin spots, or even small holes ... I can use slowstitching to do some repair work! And while your video was going on I started doing that! Now I'll become a member of your FB group. Then I can show everything there AND on Instagram.

It’s so totally unusual here as this time of the year it’s 35-40 degrees Celsius but we had the coolest Christmas for a very long time ( which has carried on for the last 2 weeks) 23 degrees with a light shower. However it’s perfect conditions for stitching while watching cricket ( a national past time). Mmmm maybe a slow mindful sport that not the world gets😂😂 My dogs love this time of the year as we are sitting a little more. Love your expressions and little wisdoms like ‘ you do you’.

You mention trying stitches out on a certain scrap. yes to that, but I also find that when I first sit down it helps to just do some random stitching into a cloth I keep with my sewing. It loosens up my hands and mind; puts me into the rhythm of stitching. I also use this to practice a difficult stitch. Some day, I'll integrate these practice cloths into a project (or not).

Hello and welcome, yes every little scrap has value ❤

Love ❤️

I've found your videos after Christmas and jumped right in! Ive made the week 1 weaving, and my goodness, i never realized how rusty i am. Its been 6 months since I've slow stitched and my community looks very rough!! But im going to continue on! Thank you Katherin

Welcome lovely to hear I am helping to oil your stitching cogs 😁❤️

I'm excited to have week 2 up on our Sunday evening. I just finished inserting my woven piece in the journal. I hope we can have a Facebook group sometime in the future to make our community even richer.
