#sew4thesoulbook

I hope you have had fun with pages 1 and 2. Here are the next 2 pages for you to create. Again keep your based colour in some form be that fabric, thread of something on your tag(mine is grey) and then add some different colours.
Pocket and kisses are the theme for these pages. Creating a pocket to display your own tag and the kisses are fabric crosses and adding cross stitch.
Just to answer some questions about the book
The pages are created out of 2 pieces of cotton wadding 6 inch by 12 inch. These 'signatures' are then stitched together and I put 4 sets of two together using a blanket stitch.
We will be making a cover for the book at the end of the project, just in case I want to add further pages if I get too addicted to the project.
Have fun and happy stitching
Anne

Its a lovely piece i enjoy listening to you explain the way ypur puting this book together and the stitches Im just making a square all japanese fabrics and using sashiko stitches Im finding it hard going as I like things neat lol Im trying to change and Im actually good at crooked stitches😁 Thank you 🇦🇺🌺❤️

I just love watching your tutorials. I find them so inspiring and relaxing, as well. I wish I could take one of your classes, but that would mean I'd have to leave South Florida, USA and move to England. I don't think my husband and adult sons would approve. Thank you for sharing all of your creations. I'm on my second spool snippet. You are correct, it is addictive.

[@judymarkel8029]

Ok now I need to try this

[@sis9622]

I love this

[@fayneilly833]

I’m still sitting watching al your fabulous tutorials thank you.

[@fayneilly833]

I’m now going to start on this cross st pages, four pages are awesome thanks you for great help.🙏

[@donnadees7031]

Must say i have taken to stitching like this on my favorite house mouse pants that are well worn, soft & comfortable, here & there, all higgledy piggledy. I patched one hole, then another - with a soft undershirt that was too small for me. bits & pieces, lace edging included. I am (don't laugh) so proud of them. Can still wear them, put them in anet bag to launder them. Wearable art, I feel. NOT for a museum.

[@fayneilly833]

It’s me again , I love this project and I have got my pages ready to blanket st together.

[@vanessaisom8620]

Just finished pages 1 and 2, and am about to start 3 and 4 today. I am absolutely enjoying this so much. I am also going to prepare my fabrics for the bobbin project, and i will use a garden theme for that, based on my garden. So glad I found you Anne. Thank you.

his approach is creative or too supportive of each other, thank you very much.

This challenge is totally absorbing me !! Loving it !! The greatest distraction in these troubled times 💕 Is there one place to see ‘posted’ pages to see all the different completed ones ??

[@pambotter365]

Beautiful. And love your sewing corner outside. So pretty! TFS!

[@AnneBrookeTextileArtist]

[@AnneBrookeTextileArtist]

You too

[@christinacreatesau]

It sure does keep you sane! Coming late to the project, just starting pages 3&4 now. Thanks for sharing Anne.

[@dreamtshirt]

I am sometimes overwhelmed by Textile Art. I don’t have an inborn artistic talent but love to stitch and try to be creative. Watching your videos has shown me it is all about asking the right questions and experimenting before making a decision and the process is just as important as the finished piece. This has helped me in my own journey and I am enormously grateful. Thank you so much.

[@AnneBrookeTextileArtist]

There are no rules just enjoy playing xxxx

Your Stitches are amazing💖

[@RuthieAubs]

Your book is coming out so beautiful! I wish there were somewhere near me that I could find some of the bits and pieces to add to my book! We used to have some vintage stores around but they have all closed. Love these two pages! I'm behind but will catch up soon! TFS!

[@donnadees7031]

go to second hand stores--you'll find all so nice

[@mom2triplets04]

What kind of threads are you using for slow stitching in the blue and grey that you had on your desk above your book? Where do you purchase them from?

[@AnneBrookeTextileArtist]

They are finca perle threads from Gina silkworks

[@cmprof77]

I just started and am still on the first one. Thank you for sharing this amazing book of slow stitching. Is there a place to see a picture your finished book? I've never done anything like this and am following some of your page examples. Thanks again!

[@AnneBrookeTextileArtist]

Not finished it yet ,it is a work in progress and you will see each set of pages as I am doing them xx

[@LunaTheYarnLady]

Hi Anne: I found this project a year late but just love it so I’ll start now. Is there a video or instructions for the batting pages? What are the dimensions? How are they sewn together? Thanks for your lovely projects and encouragement.

[@AnneBrookeTextileArtist]

All in the 2nd video xx

[@ambrosiaarts]

What brand of silk thread do you use?

[@AnneBrookeTextileArtist]

sorry don't know its name, I get it from Airedale textiles xx
