While cleaning out my batting box, I came across
this little "batting booklet" I made a long while
back.....
I know I was following a Youtube video sewalong,
but I'll be darned if I can recall whose YT it was...
(sorry, if you may recall, let me know?)
** It's "Sew For the Soul"
by Ann Brooke Textile Artist
I remembered!! YAY!!
I never got into working in this and instead had
moved onto making some fabric journals
with fabric pages for a while...
So, this had gotten stored away
with all my extra
batting cut-off pieces...
Lately.....
I have been watching a lot of "Susan Taylor Brown's"
Youtube videos and her idea of just
stitching for fun really resonated with me
today...
So I began a little first page using
methods I learned on Jude Hill's online
classes I took a long while ago...
Using some of those little cut off
strips that are not big
enough to seam, but are still fun
to use in the "raw edge" manner...
I wove this:
I am in the process of
"invisible basting"
it together.
[A process I also learned from Jude Hill....]
I will be removing the pins as I stitch...
I want to "try out" different ideas on these pages...
I don't care if the batting shows; I don't care
if the colors are not "matchey-matchy"--I
am just using what I have on had in my
scrap baggies...
Just something to be able to
pick up when the spirit moves me
and my hands allow, to slowly stitch...

Here is the closure on my first little
Meditation Scroll..an old button
on a
a strip of Sari silk to
wind about it and hold it in place ,,,,;)))
she'd like to peek inside my little
Japanese Rice Bag.

And here is what you see....
👀💗👀
I have my completed scroll and a new one
that I just basted and is ready to
be stitched
next to it...
{see the little pin holding it in place?}
I will be Working on the new one
in my lap while watching tv....
*****************************
I am using this adorable little tin to hold
some little tiny pieces for my batting book ...
Some of those teeny, tiny
strips...and bits....
*******************************
So far today, we have reached 81 degrees with
a dew point of 70.3!! But.....
but, but but, here off the shore, we do
get a nice breeze off the ocean which has
not warmed up too much as yet...
We do have our AC on though....
**********************
And so, I have set myself up for some
slow stitching projects for the
Summer while I finish off a lot
of my little "quiltlets": layering and
binding them on Helga...
