Pt2: Big slow stitch flower bowl for

[@creepycutiecrafty]

I love that edging stitch, it does give a lovely rustic/homely feel. It reminds me of the blankets I had as a child (back in the 70s and early 80s!) that were all edged with that blanket stitch. The finished bowl is beautiful. Does it balance well when it’s filled with bits? The warm green and yellow tones are very welcoming. The idea of being cloned from embroidery stabbings is a fascinating idea. Could be good for sci fi stories! And yeah, we do these things because we love to create. I doubt that drive will ever entirely disappear from humanity!

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thank you - I’m using the bowl to hold supplies for my next project (threads, scraps, buttons) and it’s working great. My mini little bowl sits well inside it too. And it would make a great sci fi story too! Cheers, Christine

[@artyfartyannie]

Ah your bowl turned out so pretty and it will be very handy on your desk too - as you said, we do these things for the joy of creating, but it's wonderful when we end up with something beautiful and useful too isn't it. hehe love the idea of all us makers being cloned in the future from all the DNA we add to our creations, that would make a great sci-fi series! Thank you for the ispiration and the storytime xo

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Annie - we’ll definitely have plenty of DNA left behind in our stitched pieces 🤗

Your bowl turned out lovely, Christine. The fabric is perfect! I so enjoyed hearing the rest of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie’s adventures! TFS! 🥰 Becca

Thank you Christine for your video and sharing this wonderful story. So glad to hear Mr Frog made it after all. Reminds me of Tales from the Riverbank or Mr Toad which we had in the UK. This bowl is amazing and will be such a lovely addition in your craft room. I stitched along with you just as if we were sitting together at your table. We had a great stitchy do!!

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

So happy to know you were joining me in my stitchy do 😆 and that your heard the end of the story 💛

[@kerrigraafmans9993]

Beautiful bowl Christine, that will bring a smile as you stitch!

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thank you Kerri - it most definitely will 🤗

[@giusicoluccia6594]

Ciao Christine, your bowl is exquisite! I made one with hexagons, too,but at the end of my stitching it laid flat😂so I thought of threading a ribbon around the edge and it worked for me,it gives me joy,as you say,each time I look at it. Thank you for the story and for the constant inspiration ❤

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Ah yes, that’s why I had to go with the square base. But great idea for your bowl to use a ribbon. I love how inventive everyone is 🤗

[@marthamanigross]

Adorable! I like that it’s got the shape around the top edge too.

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Martha - it really looks like a flower blossom to me in shape

Thank you Christine for the story and sharing the making of your bowl which turned out looking lovely. I’m on my second vessel as our daughter asked for one when she noticed mine . I’m using some of the fabrics you sent me . xxx

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thank you Pat - and happy you and finding good uses for some of my gifts 🤗

Thank you so much!! I can't wait to see what you sent. You're so thoughtful 💓

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Enjoy my friend xx

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

Hi Christine you've done it once again! You've created a beautiful piece of art! I love the blanket stitch around the edges, i don't know how you get your stitches so evenly spaced. I hope that i can get mine somewhat evenly spaced. I've chosen the fabric and will get it cut out tomorrow. Thank you for finishing the story of snugglepot and cuddlepie! It's such a cute story, i kind of feel sad that I didn't have them as childhood friends! lol😅 TFS 😊

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Kim - really look forward to seeing yours. With the blanket stitching I find it easiest to come from back to the front - not sure if that makes a difference. Hope you have a lovely weekend xx

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

@createandcraftwithchristine thanks for the tip! I had to go to town today and it completely wiped me out. I might not get started till tomorrow now. But, I'll remember the tip! TFS

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

@@kimberleymaloy1728 rest up and the stitching will be ready when you are. Hope you’re feeling revived soon xx

[@CraftyLinnieP]

Hi Christine. Your bowl is so cute. I enjoyed hearing the story. Maybe you should start reading a story every time you do a video. Stitching and Reading with Christine. I think that sounds good. What do you think? Hugs ❤️🙂

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Linda - glad you enjoyed despite the slightly challenging sound quality (not sure why it didn’t upload as it was recorded, a bit of sound quality loss). Cheers, Christine

Oh I loved watching you work and listening to the wonderful story, I have actually never read this one. Thanks Christine. Can I ask what are you grew up in? You seem very familiar to me

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Hi Leanne - I’m glad you enjoyed this video. I grew up around Malvern/East Malvern. I don’t recognise your name but it can be a very small world 🤗

[@leannesawtell1155]

@@createandcraftwithchristine lol not even the same state, well now I can stop wondering every time I watch one of your videos lol
