Slow Stitching Stitch A Square | Fabric Squares & Focal Points | Best way how to stitch square 2022

Slow Stitching is a fun activity where artists sew unique designs and make each piece original. In today's video, I show my process for stitching a fabric block, using concentric squares. I alternate fabrics, between patterns and solids, to build up the pieces. Then, I add a focal point in the center of the smallest square.
I decided to turn this into a March 2022 Fabric Challenge and stitch a square each day of the month. I'll post my daily blocks on Instagram danielamellenartist.

Square blocks can be any size. Mine are 3 3/4" square.
I use 3-4 squares for layers, and then have a focal point in the center.
The focal point can be a stitch, a piece of treasured fabric, a found object, beads, a button, or a charm.

[@susanspisak65]

This is so cute …. I’ve never thought of the benefit of sewing from the inner piece outward … thank you for that idea… makes perfect sense! I just thought of an idea that may be nice for my toddler grandson … I could make these squares, sew on a tiny toy ,,,similar to the turtle and then sew a vinyl piece over it … to keep toy enclosed …. I Spy

[@DanielaMellen]

That's a great idea!

Hi, I just found your channel, and I'm delighted I found you. I have no idea about stitching, but I'd love to add to my mixed media pieces. I have a lot of embroidery threads( no idea why I have !!😂😂) , what size needle would I need ? Off now to get a coffee & watch more of your playlist. 😊

[@DanielaMellen]

Welcome! Stitching, textiles, thread, floss - all fantastic to add to mixed media. I have videos on the topic of choosing needles kzbin.info/aero/PLoNOCF4Zkn1bL27KxHYAyV-4ELpZUMZra This is a great playlist to get you started. ❤️❤️❤️

[@michellewohlgemuth8847]

[@DanielaMellen]

Great! Have fun with the blocks. I'm happy to make a button technique video.

[@ginaashby6782]

Luv this idea great for a learner like me but what do you do wth all these squares ? Jst want some ideas 😀

[@DanielaMellen]

You can combine them all (like quilt blocks) for a wall hanging, or pillow. I have some ideas here kzbin.info/www/bejne/oorNn36KadJsnqc

[@carolrichardson8107]

Good morning from S.E. Pennsylvania! Can a fabric postcard be made by SlowStitching only? No sewing machine?

[@DanielaMellen]

You sure can. Just be sure all seams and fabric pieces are stitched down securely. You want to make the postcard as durable as you can.

[@debbiefrick4380]

Daniela, what is the approximate size of the squares?

[@DanielaMellen]

The squares are approximately 4 inches, but feel free to use any size you like. For this project, and trying to complete 1 a day, I thought a 4" size was achievable.
