All my stitch work is designed in an improvisational manner, working on linen fabric with 6 stranded embroidery floss.
There are hundreds of embroidery stitches in the world. Some are simple, and some – are more complex. Some embroidery stitches are made for outlines, while others work best for borders or lettering. Also, there are many stitches for filling. We might group filling stitches by how much surface they cover and how much fabric […]

This sashiko is on recycled denim sample swatches. I draw the pattern on the back of the denim and I actually stitch the sashiko from the wrong side of the fabric. It works well, and stretch denim is surprisingly easy to stitch.

At the last meeting of the Embroiderers' Guild, I was given a little project to take home. It was several candlewicking pieces that required only Colonial Knots. I had never heard of that before, so I learned it and now I'll show you! : ) So welcome back to another edition of 'Saturday Stitches' where you watch me teach myself to embroider! you can see all posts by clicking on 'Tutorials' at the very top of my blog A Colonial Knot is a little different that a French Knot. It doesn't make that little doughnut. It makes a good tied knot but wrapping the needle in a figure eight. Check it out... bring the needle up, and then lie the tip over and under the thread like that... Take the working thread and put it across the tip of the needle and then tuck it under again. put the needle back into the cloth, close to where you first came up Pull to tighten the knot a bit and then take the needle right through to the bottom. And there you have it! It's pretty easy. They sure look lumpy and knotty compared the the French Knot. They would work great as pebbles in a small landscape I bet. hmm.... Have a great weekend!

Today I am practicing a basic heirloom technique known as “Drawn” or “Pulled” thread work embroidery. This type of embroidery is achieved by gently pulling out individual thread along the grain line to create a small gap in the fabric. A combination of hand stitches is then used to create simple to elaborate designs within...

Another post about doing my work while grandmothering the new twins. I only had one piece with me for nearly three weeks and it's gone through several nick names. For a while I called it Holy Rothko, because of the dark reddish field of colour floating between the warm grey linen borders and because of the holes that marked it in a grid. Then as I continued working on it, I called it Holy Holy, because it had taken on a spiritual quality. For a while it was as if this piece helped me confront my own mortality. Grace with Juni. Judy with Daisy I'm working it from the back side, stitching with running stitch around and around the backsides of the reverse applique dots, and then cutting away the sheer fabric that covers them. So that the velvet circles bloom. While in the rented house, I'm taking care of Grace's cat for a while as her household gets used to the twins. In the above photo, you can spy the quilt I mended last year on the bed. Ned didn't come this time, but our other two daughters took turns helping their sister. Mostly I've been cooking for the new parents. I've been using recipes from the pandemic cookbook I compiled in 2020 of family favourites. I've been able to get in an hour of stitching by the window in our rented house each morning. The piece is still not finished, but getting closer. Love Spreads pinned to studio wall, nearly finished. Newest title? Love Spreads Inspired by a quote Maria Popova sent me in her newsletter: Love is essentially self-communicative: those that do not have it catch it from those who have it. True love is unconquerable and irresistible; and it goes on gathering power and spreading itself, until eventually it transforms everyone whom it touches. Meher Baba
