PICK-ME-UP, PUT-ME-DOWN PROJECT

 
This small bundle of 
"Tilda" fabrics
started me off....
they are really so lovely....

A while ago I made this batting book
using Anne Brooke's method 
(which you can find on
her YouTube channel)
↧↧↧↧
Three signatures of two pages each 
whip stitched together along the bindings
made this little booklet for
slow stitching...

Working in a book format 
already sewn together turns
out to be quite different... 

Here is the "Tilda" spread I am
working on ...

I have tacked all the fabrics down and begun
to kantha stitch on the right hand page...
the most difficulty I have encountered is 
sewing right up to the binding...

On this spread, I went right across that binding
and found it much easier to manage...

This is the first spread where I used my
tea-dyed fabric for the background and
bits and scraps and some stitching.
I plan on using more of it throughout
this little slow stitchery book..

I can go back and add more anytime if
I wish..
or
Get an idea flash;)))

This pick-me-up-put-me-down
[PMU-PMD] project fills 
in the times when I feel like
doing some stitching but have
no definite project in mind...
or any UFO's I want to work on!!!👿

I hope you are all ready for  our
Thanksgiving Holiday here
in the USA...
We will be traveling to my daughter's home
to meet up with our whole little family.
