What is slow stitching? A lot of fun! Learn how to get started with slow stitching and enjoy this creative textile art.

Earlier in the week, I started a new kawandi quilt project. I got the back all pressed up, inserted a layer of thin cotton batting and then trimmed, pressed and pinned down the pieces around my edge. I stitched maybe one row around ... and then didn't get any further. Life, generally, just got in the way of any sewing. This morning, up too early for a Sunday as I had to drop my daughter at work by 7am, I sat in my sewing room when I got back and thought I'd add a couple of rows to my kawandi... and then kept at it for a couple more hours. I turned on my audio book and enjoyed the process. I did eventually have to stop and get some jobs done around the house (blurgh) but looked into the room and saw the sun shining on my sewing table, so thought I'd sew a little bit more. I tried to film a little bit of the stitching and upload a short reel to TikTok. Anyone else on TikTok? I much prefer Instagram, but I thought I'd give it a go and try to be more active on the platform. Here's the link to the video if anyone wants to have a look. @sameliasmum Hand quilting on a sunny Sunday afternoon #quilt #quilting #kawandi #aurifilthread #sewingtiktok #quiltingtiktok #handmade #sameliasmum #bigstitchquilting #slowsewing #sewing ♬ Little Things - Tiqta In other exciting news, I've been selected as an Aurifil Artisan for 2023/2024.

Good Morning Friends & Folk ~ and a happy Sunday to us all.... ~ our day will be a rainy one, with grey clouds and a bit of a chill in the damp air. and on to Slow Stitching! we all {mostly} know the concept of slow stitching... methodical, mindful {or not} stitches made in small areas at a time using recycled, old, new, used, worn fabrics and threads of all-sorts. ~ now this is something that excites me LOL ~ I do follow a few Instagram, Pinterest & Youtube accounts for slow stitching, and I'll share them with you at the end of this posting, if you're so-inclined. here are a few photos that I've borrowed from Pinterest, showing some of my favorite projects that have been posted there: and now for a few snaps of what I'll be working on today using Slow Stitch... all I need to do is add thread! ~ I know it's not for everyone... and to some it looks unfinished, done by untrained hands, 'too' primitive or even messy. but to me, it is beautiful. poignant. intriguing... easy but challenging and frees oneself from the constraints of perfection-ism. nothing wrong with frayed edges and loose threads. faded colors and age-spots and stains are fine. wrinkles are perfect and show character. each stitch taken should be mindful, carefully placed and thought upon. stitch your feelings into your cloth and relax a while. does Slow Stitching have to be pretty? nope. is it supposed to make sense? only to you. is there a right or wrong way to do it? I don't think so, you do you. so give it a try. gather your supplies: a sewing basket or bag to keep your things in {or better yet, MAKE a bag!} sharp needle, blunt tipped needle, sharp scissors, chalk, pencil, frixion pen {heat erasable} lots of threads and lots of fabric scraps. and don't forget to include your imagination...... here are the links promised and I do hope you visit them: https://deep-rooted-healing.com/art-projects/buried-books https://www.jessiechorley.com/ https://www.instagram.com/petalplum/ https://www.instagram.com/maycontainpaper/ https://www.instagram.com/k3n.clothtales/ Blessings from the Farm ~ Lori
