My fingers are beginning to feel like a pin cushion Christine, beautiful pouch ❤

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Haha Karen - it’s why I can’t wait to get the pins out of the fabric as soon as possible. If only I could use those friendly quilt clips for everything 😂 cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡

Hi Christine, love the thread painting, it certainly gives dimension to the flowers Best wishes, Lyn.

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Lynn - the wool adds a lovely effect. Happy stitching. Cheers, Christine

[@giusicoluccia6594]

Yes,Christine, it has cooled down a bit! Now,I'm worried for the stitchery swap to you,it is late,I think...hope it will arrive!! The pouch is so beautiful, love everything you put on it! The rose panel is gorgeous together with that fabric lining. Wow! TFS ❤

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Glad it’s a bit cooler now Giusi. I hear Rachel saying it is grey where she is. I am very sure the swap will get here - I’m still waiting for one to get to the UK - probably the post Christine delay. Cheers, Christine

Love the thread painting Christine. You have some really beautiful fabrics. It’s a lovely pouch. Thanks for sharing.

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

[@elliecarroll1412]

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Hello dear Ellie - I miss the evening chats with you lovely ladies - hope all is good in your world 💛 cheers, Christine

[@GABYCHICDOLLS]

Oh it's coming out so beautiful with those exquisite embellishments, especially the beaded , gem pieces 😍 And I love the thread painting, I should try that. Thank you Christine ❤

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Definitely give thread painting a try - it is so relaxing. Thanks for watching 💙🧵🪡

[@paulalister80]

Looking wonderful, all your accents are beautiful (sorry embellishments) aww so much pretty beaded lace. Love the tread painting, I love doing this so relaxing, discovered this when I did squares the first time GBLSS only did birds bit unsure about flowers so throughly enjoyed how you explained this thank you learnt so much. Yep definitely going to do a nice pouch that will be smaller than yours for when I do the squares, will be wonderful to have a little pouch envelope to keep my project in. Have a lovely day sigh gardening, yep need to get in and do some it’s just so hot outside, me I’m a fall spring person, love these times oh well shouldn’t grumble. Thanks for a lovely watch.

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Hi Paula 🤗 I actually like the word accent as that’s what these pieces do. It really is so relaxing to thread paint and is a type of painting it seems I can do 😂 I’m a spring and Autumn loved as well - at least in terms of being out and doing physical activity on the garden - I was red as a tomato after yesterday’s exertions (not burnt, just overheated 🫣) cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡

[@cathiespalding2083]

This is looking so very pretty!

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Martha - a fun project for sure! Have fun creating yours. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡

[@kimlumpa4317]

Thanks for doing some thread painting. It helps to hear you say that it looks bad at first. I just need to stick with the job.

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Annie - I love that I’m able to explore your Colour Inspirations project as part of this pouch too 🤗 cheers, Christine

[@wendymorton1999]

Beautiful! But I find myself going oh no, not that or oh wow, that’s awesome. lol. By the time you are finished I’m almost thinking it’s mine. ❤❤❤ I’m just learning slow stitch and loving it.

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

Christine it's looking fabulous!

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Kim - hope you’re doing well, miss you all! 💛

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

@createandcraftwithchristine yes, I'm doing well and hope that y'all are as well. Has Alex had his procedure yet?

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

He goes in for it next week. Will be good when it is done, then some recovery time. 💛

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

I'd like to pray for him, and his doctors, on the day. Would you let me know what day and time so that I can pray and my sweet laughing ladies(my Sunday school)

[@sarmaburdeu]

[@Royalizzieadventures]

Most delightful fabrics 😀👍 and the rose is so pretty

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thank you so very much Lizzie - am loving working on this one 🤗 cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡

[@Royalizzieadventures]

Well my new friend :) Christine How did u begin stitching 🧵 :)) I learnt cross stitch really enjoyable

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

I’ve long enjoyed hand stitching - whether making little felt animals or Christmas decorations and now slow stitching in all its guises 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine

[@wendymorton1999]

It’s a month later that I’m watching and in Canada it’s winter winding down. The temperature is +3 Celsius and kind of foggy cloudy and a perfect day to craft! I volunteer in a thrift shop so I rescue many little bits that are heading for the bin!

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Love that it is the perfect weather there for crafting and also that you rescue pre loved goodies too 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine

[@lizfaulkner3640]

Thank you Christine for showing the thread painting. I’ve done some but learned so much more watching you, eg. The anchoring and couching. Will you be doing any on the leaves? I’d love to see that. ❤️

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks so much Liz for watching and commenting. I’ll be sure to share some more thread painting including the leaves in my next Roxy video. Cheers, Christine

[@beyesh3760]

❤❤ Love how you rearranged the embellishments.😊😊 I kept talking to you on if it looked good or grab next piece or different placement. 😅😅😊😊 Would love to see you finish more of the thread painting for inspiration. You explain it so that the stitches you do are to create certain effects on the flower. 😊😊 Question? Most of the ladies I've seen doing this are using felt for the base to put their fabrics on and give body and support for their stitches. Couldn't I do the same thing using quilt batting? The felt I've seen in the USA isn't the kind I would want to use a project being washed. I'm sure I could just checking if you've done it or seen others use it. Thank you for all your inspiration on this project as I will be starting mine next week. 😊😊

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks so much for watching anc commenting - I’m so happy you were working out layout of the embellishments alongside me. You can most definitely use quilt batting for your pouch - I’m just using felt as that’s what I have available. Happy stitching 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine

[@bobbijovaverchak7929]

This is so beautiful. Can you share the dimensions of the pieces of the felt that you started with. I am new to slow stitching and am working on a small pouch now but want to do another larger one and do some lace/doily pockets in the inside-got that idea from Corrine.

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks so much - the felt was approximately 52cm by 30cm. Happy stitching. Cheers, Christine
