Take time to slow down and stitch with this lovely slow stitch kit! Whether you're new to sewing, or an experienced seamstress, this kit is excellent for working on in spare moments, on the go, during a long, restful evening, or whenever you can find the time! Work on it inside on a cozy, rainy day with a cup of tea, or take it out on the porch on a sunny afternoon and enjoy the process of restful stitching! Slow stitching is more about the process and less about perfection, so instructions and tutorials are laid aside, letting you work slowly and creatively. This lovely, old fashioned slow stitch kit includes everything you need to get started sewing: a 12" × 12" piece of muslin for the base of the project, over 20 pieces of fabric and lace - some vintage, and some new - a small quilted square, a few pieces of antique book pages, about 12 vintage buttons, 4 different colors of embroidery thread, and a needle. This slow stitch kit would be the perfect gift to a loved one or yourself on Valentine's day! Pictured is a sample item, and is only an example of what you may get in your slow stitch kit. The contents may vary based on what I have in stock at the time, but will all be the same color scheme.

Adoro el sashiko, es una técnica japonesa preciosa que sirve para embellecer todo, ropa, accesorios etc. Pero si no tienen mucho tiempo...
I am always in awe of quiltmakers. Having attempted making my own small quilt, I know how much work goes into each one. These incredibly beautiful quilts, designed by Nora Nilsson, have an old-world feel with colors for today, traditional quilt designs, and stunning gingham linen. While deeply influenced by Finnish and Scandinavian heritage, each of these quilts is handmade in India and even quilted by hand. Each quilt is well made and perfectly fluffy and cozy. These are just right for a picnic, a bedroom, or to curl up on a cold day. The mustard and pink gingham is just a perfectly charming and beautiful combination. The dusty pink color is paired with natural linen. - DETAILS - Measure 62.99" x 78.74". Made of 100% linen front and 100% cotton solid in a natural color with polyester batting. Made in India.

If Your heart beats for old Japanese craft then it is going to beat faster with this bag. This is a rustic Zero waste handcrafted Boro bag made with with aged reclaimed fabric and supported with leather straps and wooden closure button. Handmade with old vintage fabrics, the sustainable " Mottainai" bag is a masterpiece of age old japanese craft of Boro mending and stitching using old discarded fabrics. The patchwork and slow stitching displayed is a signature style of Boro stitching and a unique feature of the Japanese craft. Such bags require craft mastery/ skill and involve a lot of slow focussed stitching to create a unique piece that is no less than a stunner. The all purpose envelope bag with cotton lined bag has one compartment and is perfectly sized for travel and daily use. The bag can hold passport, personal diary, keys, mobile, tickets, travel documents and other valuables. WHAT IS MOTTAINAI AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT 'Mottainai' is an age old Japanese concept / thought that shows respect for the environment by encouraging people not to waste valuable resources. According to the thought nothing in this world is to be wasted and every thing has value. It is upto the person to be able to see value in it. In this day and age where everything is moving towards consumerism, the environment is burdened with waste, landfill, water pollution, air pollution and diseases that are directly related to the usage of items made in factories. Tonnes of waste is just dumped into the ocean or sent to 3rd world poor countries for them to deal with it. Mottainai is the answer. The thought is a breeze of fresh unpolluted air where everything can be transformed into useful, beautiful items of use. MEASUREMENTS LENGTH (Full envelope) -11.5 Inches LENGTH ( Flap closed) - 9 Inches WIDTH - 5.5 Inches STRAP LENGTH - 60 Inches ( Full ) ITEM CONDITION The bag is made with aged, old vintage reclaimed fabrics. Stains are natural and part of the look.

Hello Everyone! I hope that your Holidays were very happy and that your New Year is off to a great start! The last few weeks of 2009 were a bit of a crazed blur at our home, starting with my daughter getting stranded for a few extra days in London due to bad weather and canceled flights, (happily she made it safely home 2 days before Christmas) then the plumbing broke and the car died. 2010 rolled in to save the day, just in the knick of time, and all is now well, (knock on wood!) The Quilt In between all the "fun", I did manage to start a new, utilitarian inspired work quilt, which helped calm me immensely. This is the first layer. I started with various sized pieces of shot cottons in blues and greens, pieced together to form long rows. Next I machine quilted lots of closely spaced rows, of varying widths, followed by long rows of multi colored hand-stitching I have just a few more rows of stitching to complete, and then I can move on to the 2nd and final layer which will be made up of appliqued patches and more stitch work. The Barn You may have noticed that I have a new blog banner to start off the new year. I wanted something to reflect the new path I am headed in and since I find a lot of visual, and soulful inspiration from the old, weathered barns found around where I live, I thought it would be fitting to use one in my banner. The barn I choose to use in my banner is my new favorite. It is almost within walking distance from my home, but I never knew of it until a few weeks ago when my husband took me to see it. Situated on State Game Land, it is gloriously removed and remote, with nothing but fields and trees all around. Here is the date stone... 1795... isn't that incredible?!? To think it has stood for so many years and now has entered its 4th century! I find that most inspiring. ********************************************* Over the next few weeks I hope to start making some more changes to the blog and to my shops. I will be emptying my Etsy Shop of any remaining merchandise, (the big sale is still on, but not for too much longer!) and slooooowwwwly be filling it back up with new stitched work. Stay tuned!
The Chelsea Flower Show is upon us and as usual I'm in my annual gardening mood. I'm not a proper gardener, but I love visiting gardens and am interested in garden design which links in well with designing quilts. So this time of the year I like working on something pretty and flowery and putting aside the richer, bolder colours of winter. Usually I have an ongoing project as most of my quilts take several summers to complete and I find inspiration from studying old English quilts. I say English, they may actually have been made anywhere in the British Isles as the same fabrics were available to all, so let's say made in the English style? I have been searching through my Pinterest boards to show you what inspires me. The original source of many of the pictures are difficult to credit, but many were from auction catalogues and others from museums. As you know, I enjoy doing Broderie Perse applique, though I do find it time consuming because I do it using herringbone stitch, one of the traditional ways of attaching the cut pieces. Of course I could machine it, but I like the process of hand sewing and rarely use my sewing machine. This week I have returned to a piece I started last year, which I showed you then. It was to be a teaching aid for my class at the Welsh Quilt Centre, but sadly we had to cancel through lack of students, so obviously it isn't that inspiring as I thought! In this last picture I am auditioning fabrics which may form the outer borders and corner pieces, but there will be quite a bit of applique on the striped inner border which I have yet to decide upon! Ah well onwards and upwards! It's certainly easier to do than working in the garden!
