[@lisak7247]

[@marybarratt2649]

Enjoyed your video and love the great variety of scraps at your disposal. Something I’ve been meaning to do and is on my to do list. Tfs

[@barbaraperna5536]

Love today’s video. Something about working with fabric is so relaxing. 💕

[@carolynchatham6376]

Best of my favorites, sewing and journaling. Thank you for sharing your ideas

[@lorywestby311]

I was mesmerized watching you do this!!! You also have a large selection of fabrics and lace to choose from......something else to add to my crafting needs!!! Thanks for sharing your process!! Really enjoyed this video and can't wait to see the final outcome!!

[@BittyPenny]

I thought this was very enjoyable and helpful to watch. I am trying to do more slow stitching in 2024. I shared my first attempt in a video last week and…. Well it provided laughs for everyone. I am just never afraid to dive in head first when it comes to crafting. I appreciate this help with the layout for the cover. ✂️📄🥰🌸🙌💕

[@loriericks3243]

How you can change from all the beautiful Christmas journals (more than one at a time) and now be doing all kinds of journal covers and ephemeral elements is just amazing to me. All of these are so beautiful. I’m excited to see that children’s journal comes about. I have a large size illustrated Charlotte web that I would like to follow along with you with that project. this has been so fun thank you. Thanks for all you share.

[@carolynmcneil5348]

Don’t worry about being quiet Gayle, it’s a nice change from some other videos. It’s meditative watching you, so inspiring. Thank you 🇳🇿😀

[@elainet5870]

Fun to watch! 😃

[@angeladingwall5680]

Hi Gayle you are so funny at times I could listen to you all day. I to go to a quitters retreat and they keep there scraps for me. I think we could be good pals keep on crafting Angela Scotland xx

[@craftycat7212]

Beautiful Gayle. I hope you have a wonderful time at your retreat. Hugs, Amy💕

[@myriamroelofs2259]

Never new a fabric collage could become so awsome

[@sandrastacey2285]

Hi and hugs Gayle. It’s 2am here in Sydney Australia and I was binge watching your older videos because I couldn’t sleep. I was so happy your scrappy Saturday video popped up. I am a quilter so I love it when you work with fabric.

[@catherinelittle2118]

I am a quilter too so I love the scrappy collage also.

[@sandrastacey2285]

@@catherinelittle2118 I would like to iron all her pieces though, isn’t that a quilter “thing”. Lol

[@catherinelittle2118]

Yes Stacey, I try to always overlook the big folds and creases in the fabric. I would be ironing for sure. I always have my small iron by the machine. But, whatever helps people have fun and brings joy is more important. It wouldn't work for a quilt, though. At least not for me. LoL.

[@sandrastacey2285]

@@catherinelittle2118 yes, I have small iron and woollen ironing pad. You are right though, whatever works for the person doing all the work. Still, the work is beautiful.

[@lorreprentiss3604]

The first one was the most beautiful cover you ever made.

[@melonylee6788]

These are adorable

[@denisecue5273]

Fun video for sure 😊 thank you xx

[@lorreprentiss3604]

This is the most beautiful ctreation you have ever made. Love it.

[@AleciasCreativeParadise]

Hi Gayle! Thank you for sharing all your ideas these are so pretty! I was also so glad to see you on 49 dragonflies video answering questions! You are always such an inspiration to me!

[@tinlizzie4444]

Your covers and bellyband are going to be so very lovely!! Can't wait to see them finished!! Have fun at the retreat and at your grandson's play!! TFS Gayle!! Hugs, Liz:)

[@debriddick]

I am always glad to hang out with you. I definitely live in the world of “do it as you go” and li e watching your process.

[@mixedmediaminnesota]

So pretty!

[@kimhart6963]

I just love watching you work! I save everything and you are showing me how to enjoy my stuff😁

[@robinpowell2712]

The fabrics are pretty and your stitching will make them look even more so. Hope your retreat is fun!

[@donadeam2313]

Some of my most favorite videos that you’ve done are your collage videos. They are so peaceful to watch. Maybe because you create order out of chaos or develop patterns within all the colored prints and shapes. Your covers are amazing. I can’t wait to see them after you finish them. I know you will have a great time. 🤗

[@carollaws838]

Loved seeing your process for this Gayle, looking forward to seeing your stitching ❤️

[@JannyHaak]

I admire everyone who has the patience to slow stitch! 🙌 The covers look amazing, Gayle! Wishing you lots of fun at the retreat and with your family! 💕

[@nancypyter1511]

I love those journal covers. Makes me want to get some slow stitching ready to do. Don't overdo it Gayle, you don't want to aggravate your hand!

[@Dana-fn5zt]

I LOVE the long piece of lace that you put on the center of the first cover, so pretty!!!! Enjoy your time with family!!💕

[@samanthaphillips5102]

Loved watching you place all of your beautiful fabrics together for the covers and belly band. You have such a wonderful selection of fabrics to choose from. Im looking forward to seeing the finished pieces. Im really enjoying watching all of your videos. Please keep up the excellent work that you do.

[@lindahyem5804]

I think these will be beautiful! I loved watching g your collaboration video with Barbara and Joi. Tba k you. Hugs

[@debbiev.1311]

The shabby chic cover & it's coordinating belly band...gorgeous!! The "Blue" one is gorgeous as well; another stunningly beautiful journal waiting in the wings...keeping my eyes peeled!! LOVE & HUGS 🤗❤🤗

[@janicestouffer6699]

I enjoyed watching you design the 2 journal covers! Will be excited to see them after you do the slow stitching. Your being quiet doesn't bother me. You have to concentrate on what you want to do next. I don't mind it when you are a chatterbox, either. I like listening to you and your daily activities you are involved in, family, etc. Your videos make my day!

[@laura239]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!! The first cover simply stunning!!!!!!!! My favourite!!! Thank you and hugs from sunset time in Tuscany!!!!

[@rhodaburks4970]

Can't wait to see your completion on that first cover you did. It was gorgeous! Have a good time at your retreat!!

[@jenlitscreations]

All of the slow stitch projects are beautiful. The shabby chic one is exceptionally beautiful. I think I may have to gather my fabrics and make one. Thanks for inspiring to do more.

[@enchanteddreams7166]

Happy Saturday Gayle! Have a great weekend xoxo hugs

[@artzology]

You have a good amount of beautiful fabrics to choose from! Have a great time on your retreat! Xo

[@lenoreschurman5139]

I love that layer cake fabric bundle!

[@jayneterry8701]

This is my jam! I love that fabric with the writing on it! A stencil? The edge on fabric is called the selvage..I save those to make strip stuff 😀 Lace right side is raised so run your fingers over it.😘 and if you bleed on it ,your own saliva will remove it ! Lol Happy stitching and visiting ❤😊 ps there is no t in across 😉🧙 ...sorry grammar constable hahaha

[@cynthiabuck9517]

Happy Scrappy - I'll be looking for shabby chic journal videos in the spring with that beautiful cover - Hugs.

[@beverlyculbertson4188]

Thanks for sharing and have fun at the retreat and the play!

[@collenrose3957]

It would be hard to choose, because I like all three. I am drawn to bright colors! Have a blessed day 🌈🙏💜🙏🌈

[@mavisdavisify]

Watched your combo video with Barbara and Joie yesterday. I bet that was fun. Good questions, great answers. I found out I’m not the only one that feels OCD about including 3 and 5 elements on my spreads! I subscribed and listen to all 3 of your channels regularly. It was a treat to hear you together. Barbara also had a fun gelli printing session with Luise Heinzl recently. We live in such amazing times. People in Austria, England, and the US all able to get together, create a video, share ideas and solutions all in real time. The future they told us about when I was a kid has arrived.

[@bevstuck5057]

Oh, my gosh. Both of these are sooo cute. Great covers. Feeling so inspired. That’s what you do so well- inspire!

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

Can’t wait to see how these treasures turn out.

[@susangazawaypapercrafting3749]

These are going to be so pretty!😊

[@sharonskains5049]

Loved these. I definitely liked the collage cover best because almost everything I do for myself is vintage or shabby chic, but I have people on my gift list who will love the more colorful strips. Great to have choices! Enjoy your retreat and the play. What a talented family you have!

[@margaretcomella3318]

Oohlala!!! These are so pretty! 🌞❤

[@wendyschmidt4339]

This reminds me of doing a 🧩 puzzle 😀

[@sharontilyard949]

They’re going to be gorgeous journal covers Gayle!!! I hope you enjoy your retreat (sorry you may have already been lol). What a relaxing task to take with you!!! TFS!!! Hugs, Sharon 🌷💕

[@curtismoore2681]

I love to watch you work, and see how things come together. I loves the shabby one. That is my style. You just have a great eye for color.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you, Leslie! ❤️

[@vickinoeske1154]

You have such a lovely mix of fabrics.💕

[@charlean_sherrod]

Hi Gayle, I’m so happy that you are doing this video, I’ve really wanted to make this type of cover, but had no idea of how to do it. Thanks again… and your nails are soooo pretty. 💕💕💕💕

[@lynneaberr1878]

Enjoyed glancing up to see you marrying fabrics! It's inspiring and helps me when I go to marry papers. I've stamped and am now fussy cutting heaps of marshmallows that will go with cocoa cups either on tags or cards.

[@rowenaroberts813]

Oh I love the shabby chic cover. Very pretty.

[@debbiebrowne1821]

Pretty pretty everywhere xxx

[@kimbazzani5651]

Good Morning Gayle! Happy Scrappy Saturday and slow stitching; like how you coordinate your fabric together. Enjoyed your video this morning too! Have a great weekend! 👍🍁🍁🍁

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Morning Pat! ❤️

[@hollylapinski3328]

I can't wait to see these finished! You make me want to stitch...even though I've always been a self-proclaimed Glue Master. 😊💜

[@marilyncordell4687]

All the covers will be so beautiful. I like the "collaged" one best as well, but the brighter colors would definitely be great for children's book or maybe a farmhouse theme. Have fun stitching!

[@kathrynhelm4176]

I got such a good laugh on this one Gayle. I was watching late in the day and was watching you pick out the pastel fabrics...the next thing I knew you were working with the bright colors. 💤 So I went back to where I “dropped off” and it’s where you said (paraphrased) “this is so quiet I don’t blame you if you fall asleep”! 🤣😂. The cover will be so shabbily beautiful! ❤️🥰

[@evepaludan7713]

One of my fave parts of this video is the brief eye candy at 4:39. =) I loved watching your assemblage process. The cover is so cute.

[@tannabella6071]

Good morning sweetie! Just watched your pod cast! Thanks for sharing that with us! Blessings this Weekend! Have a wonderful retreat! 💕

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Morning Tanna! ❤️

[@TheLongtrader]

Hi Gayle, you have certainly lit a spark in me today. I love working with fabric, especially on journal covers. Thanks for inspiring me dear friend. I hope your retreat went well. Love Lita xx ((I’m using my hubbies iPad today)

[@karenmorris5033]

Good afternoon Gayle x

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Good morning, Karen! ❤️

[@nancynorris9822]

Lovely! I've machine sewn strips diagonally across a 10"X18" fabric then sewn lace over the seams. Then folded in half and sewn up sides to make a bag to tie on walkers for the nursing home. They're fun and easy! I never thought to make them into journal covers but I will now! Thanks for the inspiration! 🤗

[@charlottemarek3045]

I think your next merch line needs to be "Scrappy Saturday!" I'd spring for a t-shirt with that on it, so I could wear it to our crafting group's crops, held one Saturday a month.

[@charlean_sherrod]

How fun that would be 😊

[@v.maiden483]

So pretty

[@nancystrebel3339]

I like quiet 😀

[@shellreinhart2632]

Wow!! this was fun and so inspirational...now i need to organize my scraps .. lol! TYSMFS 😊

[@caroltanzi29]

Gayle: looking forward to seeing the outcome of this creative process. Saw the podcast of the three of you. Really good! Carol from California

[@joanfriant211]

Quiet video but it's still interesting to me!!!

[@lalagamma4452]

Georgous journal covers!!! 💞Namesta🐞🕉️

[@msbecky]

Hi, I love this, the stripped piece I wasn’t as thrilled by it as the first one which was awesome!!!! But new ideas to play with… thanks for sharing!!!!!

[@lorieduff7126]

The light yarn 🧶 would be brighter than embroidery thread. The yarn would show up better maybe. So pretty colors!

[@susanlowe7603]

Gayle, I watched the podcast and I have to tell you how weird this subbie is. As soon as I saw you I got a stupid grin on my face and I said (out loud), “There’s our girl!!” I chuckled at myself more than once. I thought you did an excellent job and really enjoyed hearing the other two ladies. Thanks for including us.God bless you and family ❤️.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks so much, Susan! I’m so honored to be “your girl”! 😂❤️

[@raggedyann4372]

Good Morning❤️🥰

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Morning Ann! ❤️

[@lindawilliams2271]

Gayle, I think you need to keep making a few fabric covers and sell them in your Etsy shop to those subbies who don't sew.

[@KelleysQuiltsandCruises]

I am a quilter and I get what you are doing! But I am slowly making myself a quilting journal. I’m making it ring bound, and I like the idea of slow stitch for the covers. I also did cross stitch for 25 years, so slow stitch appeals to me because of that.
