What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

It's a hardback notebook today, one of these (and no, I'm not on commission).

I can recommend stitching into one of these books.

There are pages of dots, graph paper and other linear patterns which make spacing so easy. 

The paper is very receptive to needle and thread too.

I haven't actually worked into this one for a while and I'm tempted but I must finish some other things first.

It's time to take a closer, more considered look at my current design project.

I have created and gathered a large amount of work and sometimes I'm blinded by it all.

Today I've collected a few pieces together for more focus, (less clutter) in order to move forward.

So now I'm digesting the information here, in this image. There's more clarity which will help the decision making and hopefully generate ideas going forward.

If you'd like to catch up on this current collection there are several links below.

Last time it was buttons, today it's stitched papers.

I'm building a huge stash of complimentary bits and pieces for my current, ever growing design collection. 

Who knows what will be next.

I am enjoying this one so much.

Hand stitched overlays for the pages in this little book.

They provide depth along with space to add more embellishment.

They are yet to be attached as I have plans for fabric swatches too and perhaps some little buttons for the pages, all coordinated of course.

 In my last post I was rescuing homeless samples, adding more embellishment and joining them to create larger pieces. The pieces here today live in the same cabinet. The needlecase and pin pillow were created in class. The other two pieces here are stitched papers. Altered with machine stitch before hand embroidery was added. They are also homeless samples I guess. I'm

  Fine white Japanese tissue papers, stitched on my sewing machine before being embellished with hand embroidery.Sewing these surfaces on the sewing machine makes them very receptive to hand stitch. It's hard to describe how lovely, fragile and delicate these feel in your hand.My big 'to do' list now has stitch more Japanese tissue added!
