Hi Christine, the little envelope pouch is great. Thank you for your advice for my You Tube channel, I have managed to upload several videos now, however I have no idea how to attach a link. Please let me know where I can do this ? Much appreciated, thank you….. cheers Kaylee

Your envelope pouch will be so useful and I love the retro fabric inside 🧡🩷🧡🩷

I just finished a few of these! Love it!

What a cute little pouch. Definitely adding it to the list!

Love the little envelope. Aww think I just worked out the cover for my what is slow stitch tin. Yep going to do weaving make a label then can do a few of my fav stitches on top, glue to tin and hey presto me little book will be inside! Aww very sweet. Have a great week and hope you got to see the Southern Aurora this night. Aww do you get to see the green flash as well? I’ve seen three times here is rather cool but alas no Opal finding for me. Still next day I walked Barry town beach and did find some rather pretty stones which my daughter claimed. Lovin these small projects. ❤

Very different and very beautiful!

Love this little pouch! Easy and fast! I’ll be trying . 🥰

I love that idea! I’m doing some weaving at the moment, so I might have a go at this, if that’s okay with you? The inside fabric really pops when you open the pouch. It looks so good

Cute little pouch to send to great grand babies. They can squirrel away their treasures.

TFS Christine , think I might do a few and make some square greeting cards to put inside xxxx

A great way to use up scraps , and ending with a lovely useful envelope pouch ❤ xx

Just neat project thankyou❤

Very pretty pouch. And seems easy to assemble. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us!

Love this woven envelopes ❤

this is so cute. I would love to make one. You are so fun. Thank you

This looks so fun. I am thinking this would be a perfect little Valentines Day gift for my granddaughter. She is 11 and is really starting to take notice of my stitching! Thanks for sharing

A unique pouch,Christine! Love the fabric you have created by weawing! Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤

Fabulous video! Love the gorgeous pouch💕. So many wonderful tips! Thank you🥰

I too get attached to my art pieces. I heard a lady call them her art babies 😁

Hi Christine. So i believe ‘kantha’ is the arching term for a style of stitching which includes, but is not exclusive to, running stitch xx

Oh I can’t wait, we need to see when the long weekend is….

This is what I need to make, I love the weave fabric…

Hi Christine, this is a new technique to me and I find it very interesting! Between you and Rachel and Kate, y'all are piqueing my interest in stitching and slow stitching again. I even pulled out some fabrics and have been looking at and holding some of them. (Haven't actually sewn any yet, but hopefully that's coming too!) Thank you for all you do for our community!❤😊

Wonderful background, Christine. I have happy memories of your stitch along was such fun. I normally had to watch it back as their was so much chat ❤ Thankyou

That's truly gorgeous Christine - so funny we each had kinda the same idea at the same time, but your version is SO beautiful with the vintage fabrics in those soft neutrals, really lovely. Weaving in some scraps of old lace would look really pretty too. I'm going to settle in and watch the rest of this properly while by complete coincidence stitching the Christine page in my stitchery swap keepsake book - reliving the joy of that first swap in 2023 - was it really that long ago you did the Dictionary of Stitches??? Surely that was only last year, have to check now ... :) xo

Another great idea! Shall definitely have to give this a go.

So good using those scrap strips Christine. In RJOS 5 when the prompt was make a bag. I made a draw strong bag with weaving fabric strips, I actually used a jelly roll I’d had for over 10 years, I used the lights one way and the darks the other way. I loved it so much I made a second one with the same jelly roll strips.

These pieces are wonderful, Christine! A really lovely way not only to use scraps but also to create a fabulous background! Thank you very much for your inspiration ❤❤❤

Thank you so much for sharing and a great idea. You are such an inspiration. x

What a wonderful idea!!🙂

Great ideas! I’m going to try this for organizing my textured fabrics for slow stitching. My bins need help! Thank you!

That’s a good use for leftover fabric strips. I think your suggestion of using French knots looks good, but so could some diagonal stitches in burger or darker colours could look good too. I always just pin my threaded needle into the bit of the project I’m working on so I don’t lose it - I’m always worried I’ll wind up stabbing myself if I drop the needle! 😂 A larger version could make a lovely curtain or blind for the windows. I think the light glinting through the colours and layers could look attractive. The odd numbers thing is so true! I remember assisting in a catering class once, and the tutor said that wherever they served needed to be arranged by odd numbers, otherwise it would look wonky. It always looks so much better

I love the effect of woven fabric and the neutrals you’ve used are gorgeous 💛💛💛

Aww love this, supper cool. Also like I can use scraps. Gosh each square could be a different stitch I practice, such a fun little project. Yes I am sure to use at some stage, me mind has gone into supper crazy mode. Gosh I wonder if I could have a few squares like this in my just because quilt just a few mind, aww I could undo one of my joins have one of these on each line! Aww yes right I am off um this month I will do two squares but will space over two months …. Sure this will work. Just because is for me so this won’t matter. lol I am so doing. Thank you Christine aww I could do maybe one row in cream then blue and green aww sky grass oh my so many possibilities. Um I am definitely of boy am I gonna be supper busy today! lol ❤thank you for the video.

Thank you sweet lady. Love always, Savana 🎀💝

How funny about old thread breaking I have many reels that are 60/70 years old . Wool thread that I darn with gets thin ..I'm lying in bed 🛌 hubby snoring, on my ipad..Saturday as good as sitting around your table 😂🎉

The neutrals are lovely 😍

Love this video!! Will definitely enjoy a project with this lovely technique! Possibilities are endless💕. Thank you for sharing your creative wonders🥰

What a great idea Christine , the cross stitches amongst the kantha make it pop love it xx

Great idea! Thank you 🙋😘

Great idea. I have leftover “scraps” of binding from my quilts that I have been wondering what to do with. I think this is a great way to use up those as they are usually not long enough to actually bind a quilt (without lots of bulk from stitching them together). Love the neutral colours for backgrounds

I love this. Beautiful work.

Beautiful use of scraps, fabrics and lace. This is going to be a gorgeous piece

I love the selveges as well. And ad of late, some of the fanric designers have been putting a small line from a poem or something on them. One recently hzd a line from a walt whitman poem, a Christmas fabric i used this year had s line from a Christmas carol in the selvage. I am saving all the selvages i can get and will at some point use the nice ones in a strip quilt. Others i use in my junk journals and slow stitch projects.

Nice. I recently found an entire tote of vintage and antique crochet and tatted doilies and embroidered doilies on marketplace. The lady wanted 75 dollars for them. An elderly woman trying to detach so her children do not have to deal with it. So, we agreed I would come out next day and purchase. On the way to her house I was involved in a minor car accident. But it jolted my head in a way that I ended up in the emergency room for the afternoon, primarily sitting in a tiny room waiting. lol. Then the next day we had a snow storm. I live out in the country. The seller lived in town. In town they get their roads plowed, and business as usual resumes quickly. Out here, they do not plow the roads. So I was snowed in for a few days. She was a very nice lady, but she grew weary of waiting for me, and sold the entire tote to someone else……lol. I was so disappointed. But I cannot blame her. She was probably concerned I would never come. And of course another buyer came along very quickly. Because it was a large tote full. But hopefully some more will pop up again. But I think that one was a rare opportunity.

Wow lovely haul x

Amazing linen haul Christine 🤩 thanks for showing us

What a great find . TFS Christine xxxxx

Hi Christine, congratulations on your stunningly gorgeous find! I loved looking at every one! Thank you for sharing this with us! 😊

That was an amazing score! I think my favourite piece was the round cross stitched tablecloth - beautiful!
