Another amazing share. Love this. Have you done any of these as magnets? I’m not sure brooches will get used by my friends, but they’d be fun added to our memo boards or cubicles. Short of gluing a magnet on, I hadn’t thought of another option.
@@amyroswick3759 Thank you! Yes I have made magnets. Good idea! The magnet can be placed at the back held with a dot of glue or stitched over a few times to hold it in place and then the backing fabric or felt can be placed over the magnet and stitched on. It works great.
WHAT is the alternative ?!? Here the “middle” of the thread has gone through the eye first… AND there’s a new “cut” end on either length of the thread and on the spool. This is like saying “When you open a new tube of toothpaste, only open it at the top”… isn’t it pretty much a given?
@@differenttakethanmost it’s about the twist direction of the thread, and threading the way described is very different than the alternative. A cut piece of thread has two ends, either of which can serve as the knotted end or the threaded end. The twist direction makes the two ends different. A tube of toothpaste cannot be opened on either end.
These are wonderful. You are an amazing artist and teacher. TFS with us.

Beutiful!where can we find these fabrics ?
@@scaper232 The fabrics are scraps collected over the years and the trims, lace and cordings are too. Online, check ebay for swatches of fabrics sold in lots, like 6”x6” or 8”x8” squares of sari silk or cotton fabrics. Some fabric shops also have an extensive haberdashery section where you can buy the trims and cording by the yard. There used to be a family owned shop like this local to me so that’s where I started my collection of trims. You can search for “deadstock” fabric shops that sell off-cuts from the garment industry. These places are wonderful for finding fabrics. Many sell online and in person. Sometimes second hand shops are good places too. 😊🧵🪡

It turned out beautifully!

What a beautiful result you got! Thank you for your clear step by step instructions. I feel ready to try it on a shashiko stitching panel.
@@Snowystardust12 sounds wonderful!😊🧵🪡
Try sealing the ends of your fabric synthetic cords with a flame it will make life much easier xxx
@@maryholbrook4919 Great tip!
I am still deciding which technique I want to try first. I like the use of the frixon pens. You mention the quilting world, as I work with slow stitch, I think of my quilting techniques too.💜⛟💜⛟💜
@@TheTruckingScribe Yes there are many points of overlap and the skills transfer well!😊🧵🪡
wonderful!!!
@@finehowareyou Thanks!😊🧵🪡
Leave this to the third world. Youre an educated woman. Go and do a real job. Nursing or paralegal or something. This is marvelous for the poor to do in third world countries to make some pennies from scraps. Or for fun to have a hobby. But please dont be some middle class american white woman selling these for 2p dollar bookmarks and taking the money from some third world indian woman.
Hi Jo Can one use a wool, cotton or bamboo batting instead of felt. Thanks
@@ellentyler928 Yes absolutely. You can even use fabric as a base, the results will have less loft but be equally beautiful. 😊🧵🪡
Мне тоже понравилось, я вышила себе пано, примерно так же, но ваша работа лучше!❤ Благодарю вас!❤
Fantastic fun video, thank you.
@@joycesmith1270 Thanks!😊🧵🪡
I guess I had a good home ec teacher. I have never done anything else.
@@Leigh1131 love that!
I've been enjoying your stitching videos, and I loved seeing some of your finished pieces (with explanations) in this video.
@@bsquared9647 Thank you! 😊🧵🪡
Great idea!! Thank you.
What kind of a thread have you used and which needles? I bought an embroidery thread but it’s just too thick to go through the batting 😢
The thread I used is pearl cotton size 8. The brands I used are DMC and Wonderfil. The recommended needles to use with Pearl cotton size 8 are Long Darner #1, Milliners #1, Milliners #3 or Chenille #24
@@peaceofpi-studio thank you so much ❤️❤️
Не хочу никого обидеть,но какое практическое применение?работы очень много ,времени,терпения,фантазии ,душевных сил .может быть терапевтический эффект?я имею всё для квилтинга и ещё больше чем всё ,ну зделаю я это а затем,что мне с этим делать?

Thank you,this looks like a fun project to do with a few friends at a get together
Jo, the way you introduce your finished piece at the beginning and clearly explain your process throughout is wonderful. Thank you for your thoughtful tutorial.
Thanks so much!😊🧵🪡
You are a master teacher. Beautiful project! I have a question. Do you store your embroidery floss in numerical order, or do you group them by color? I would love to see how you store/keep your snippets of fabric and threads.
Thank you! I group them by colour. It’s really helpful for showing all the various shades of a colour (and gaps - which means it’s time to buy more floss!) That’s a great suggestion. I will have to make a video showing how I store everything 😊🧵🪡
I just love this. I have a feeling of peace looking at the piece. Thank you for the idea.
Thank you! I love hearing that!😊🧵🪡
This is lovely. Great job.
Thank you!😊🧵🪡
oh that is lovely. I am getting better at this type of work, but it is still a struggle. i will try this one.
Thank you! That’s great! Keep going 😊It doesn’t have to be perfect. Have fun😊🧵🪡
Such a cutie! Wearable, indeed.
Thank you! 😊🧵🪡
This is so pretty!
Thank you!😊🧵🪡
This is beautiful and inspiring. I’m going to try it.
That’s great! Go for it!😊🧵🪡
Fascinating. Do you use different fabric on the one project. I have cottons silks, poly, rayon etc. Looking at them I am not sure what they are because some I got friom charity shops liking the prints. is it okay to use different types of fabrics?
Yes! Crazy quilting uses all types of fabric. Anything goes! If a particular fabric is very stretchy you could iron stabilizer to the back but other than that feel free to mix fabrics. In this piece I mixed silks and cotton fabrics and the trims are a mix of materials. 😊🧵🪡
Интересная техника сшивания лоскуточков и стешка мне понравилось 👍 очень красиво
Spectacular!!!! Thank you for giving inspiration
