Stitch & Chat - Catching up and feeling introspective

[@jackieburkey735]

I think you are so talented. I am learning so much from you. I love to learn new things and because of U Tube I can do that without spending money, which is really important to many of us on SS.

[@carmenbalko1372]

HONEY YOU don’t have to say anything…Your Feelings or Emotions are coming through YOUR BEAUTIFUL STITCHES…!!! JUST keep on STITCHING and Doing Your BEAUTIFUL ART WORK…and LEARNING…THAT IS MARVELOUS…

[@kathleenhansenownerofkamah9064]

You’ve made me think, about leaving my kids and grandkids and soon to great grandkids, a legacy, for them to be able to sit and craft with me, so I can teach them a bit about what I love, and what I value. Thank you.

[@jackieburkey735]

Great idea!

[@lynngudgeon9416]

Melanie you have been given a beautiful gift from God and they are meant to be shared. I don't have a channel or store but I enjoy what I learn from every video I watch. I thank you for sharing your time and talent. If only 1 person watches, that's 1 more person that shares your passion. Have a blessed day 🙂.

[@jennienicholls705]

Im just learning about slow stitching as its called now and loved listening to you especially the part where you videos probably will out live you and your family and anyone will still be able to watch them.....such a lovely thought as like you said I would love this of any of my family :)

[@barbaracabrera207]

WOW!!! Truly unbelievable!!! Just when I think I've seen every beautiful thing women do with Junk Journals on KZbin,....I see your handwork!!! I saw Anne Brooke's channel by accident, really. So wonderful. It lead me to you. Geez,...I've got a lot of video viewing to catch up on now!!! Thx. I love the work you ladies do Slow Stitching. I've been sewing since 7th grade. Had to look up "Slow Stitching". 60 yrs ago, we just called it "sewing (by hand)"!! Haha! I'm very excited to find you all and see your beautiful projects. Thanks. You ALL are INSPIRING!!! From: Austin, TX USA

[@geraldineedgar1813]

I loved this video. I live in the south of New Zealand and ,like you, don't have anyone else who sews that I know. So its wonderful to watch you and hear your informative chat. I'm like you and move from one craft to another and it's great to know that I'm not alone!

[@clc3897]

I think I’ve said this before, but you and I are sisters from different mothers sharing the same soul DNA. That spark test you mentioned pretty much sums it all up. We are on a quest for finding truth and beauty in everything that surrounds us. Your passion for taking these tiny scraps of fabric and making beautiful things out of them is just that. Same with the journals. The fact that you don’t have much to “write” or “say” about your “boring” life is not that you don’t have anything important to say or write. It’s because your “words” are the products of your handwork. What you create is what you “write”. Your life is not boring, your life is probably less exciting than the time you spend in silence making things. And that time spent in your studio is the most exciting thing for you and for your 1900 subscribers. If I had to describe my life to you you would most likely count your blessings and thank God it is not as boring as mine. But for me there is nothing more important than to sit and create something beautiful that a couple of hours ago did not exist and nobody had ever seen. I, too, am on a constant quest for learning new things and I jump from one thing to another more often than I should. That is the “gift” we are meant to bear and carry on our shoulders for the duration of our lives. It is a blessing and a curse, depending how you want to look at it. Nevertheless it is the single most important thing that sets us apart from the rest of the world that stagnates and never moves out of their comfort zone. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed watching and listening to you. Your daughter is right. You need to keep doing these videos. They are documenting history. They are the best memoirs you could ever “write”.

[@MelanieSullivan]

Thank you for the sweet words, Mrs. C. Your comments always make me smile and help me gain some perspective. ❤️

[@quraibawentzel4143]

Lovely work Melanie.

[@Mrs.KatsCrafting]

Please ignore the negativity. Why are you making these videos? To teach and inspire others and you do just that for me so please keep going. I love your work and am learning so much from your channel.

[@patriciacclark7563]

Loved watching you stitch and hearing your story. It's so wonderful that your daughter wants you to continue doing videos just so she will have these memories of you.

[@barbarathulin8263]

I am so grateful that I stumbled across your video here and just subscribed. You have a wonderful personality, a wonderful voice and are real full of sincerity while you do your beautiful artwork. Here I sit with cancer working on an art rug hooking listening to your great stories and watching you create an talk. I don’t understand why people that create wonderful things in their videos play music and speed their videos of their creative process. I so appreciate your going with the flow taking your time. Your book covers are gorgeous ! I am grateful for you sharing all the treasures that you found like the classes. You are blessing so many! Do not worry about negative feedback because it has nothing to do with you. It’s all about the person and their lack of gratitude. They are blind to gifts that you are giving. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and keeping me company in my home while I go through my treatments. You are a gift and never forget it. God bless you! 🙌🏻❤️ As far as feeling like your work is meaningless just know that it could be an heirloom treasured by a family member for all of eternity. I would love anything that you make! I look forward to seeing all of your videos which I have saved in my exceptionally creative folder.j

[@terrywarburton2954]

Hurray for your daughter keeping you on the KZbin road. Your videos are great Melanie - I love the slow stitching as well as the journal making. The covers you made are so pretty - I took a screenshot to inspire me for my next journal. Thanks!

You have no idea how much it means to hear from someone who gets my dry sense of humor! I often worry that some things I say might not be taken as they were intended. Thank you for taking the time to comment!

[@Ginaisarty]

I just started watching your videos as I found your newest composition book video. I haven’t gotten to watch your craft room video yet. I do know how it feels to have the strangers sprout up in the comments. I hope that kind of stuff won’t slow you down making videos because I love your channel and I truly appreciate having your videos to watch during all this. I’m currently laying on the couch with tummy pains wishing I was making things and you are keeping me inspired. Thank you.

[@christineculbertson4804]

I loved watching you stitching! Beautiful work! I loved hearing you talking! I hope you do more stitching videos! I have been thinking about doing stitching too. God bless you and your family!

[@pjtaylor6675]

Oh my goodness!!! Your work is gorgeous!! So glad that I stumbled onto your site. I is amazing to watch you create. I am learning so much from you. Thank you so much for sharing your videos with us!!

[@MariasMiscellany]

Hi Melanie, I really enjoyed listening to your thoughts as you worked. I've introspected on many of the things you mentioned as well, particularly about your reasons to continue making KZbin videos and about the pointlessness of what I make...lol...For me, In a way, doing KZbin videos gives me a reason, or more likely an "excuse" to craft. My life has been so busy for so long that I really have not made much time for crafting unless there was a "reason" usually taking the form of a request from my family such as making Halloween costumes, etc. Since I have begun crafting more regularly, I sometimes share some creations that I'm particularly proud of with my family. Then, I usually get the blank confused expression followed by "What is it?" or "What are you going to do with it" 😆 and I never quite know how to answer that...LOL Finding this KZbin community of artists/crafters has made me feel much less lonely in my creative pursuits. I'm so glad you will continue to make videos. Although I don't comment much, yours is one of the channels that I watch just as soon as I am able once I get that notification 😊.

[@MelanieSullivan]

Spot on, Maria! I need to share some inspiration I got not long after making that video - I think it really helped. (Adding that to my to-do list.) I'd never really thought about creating simply to connect with others - that's a beautiful thought! You know what I've noticed when I show my journals to people? Some people turn multiple pages at once; they'll grab and flip three or four pages together at a time. Other people turn each page individually. I've decided that the second group are the ones that get it. They are much more likely to take the time to notice the details. Thank you for commenting!

[@lornamikkelson5690]

Melanie...your ending comment brought tears to my eyes. I show people my months of detailed work on my journals and they flip through it so fast and come back with a response of "to me this looks like someone has alot of time on her hands, now what ya going to do with it". That's when the heart hurts and I dont know if I should move on. I enjoyed this video and am inspired.

[@barbaranneboyer7997]

l love slow stitching and l also enjoy watching others as well,thank you ...also l usually thread half a dozen needles to begin with,it saves time : ) cheers from BC Canada

[@rachelphelps6347]

Well I have sat here and listened to you the whole time while I was doing some slow stitching. However, yours is way way prettier than mine!! This was in my feed and since I was slow stitching and watching things at the same time I clicked on it, and I am one of your subscribers already. I will have to go back and watch newer videos to see where you are now! I found it enjoyable listening to you and your work is so beautiful. The journal covers were beyond awesome!!

[@mariaa8224]

Omg! Your work is never pointless! Its not only beautiful, but it provides inspiration for your viewers, it seems that it helps you relax as a form of therapy. Wether it sits in a box or you create a book out of it or give it away as a gift, it's an expression of who you are and its unique. That is valuable and it will bless others in ways that you may never know. Much love ❤🤗

[@carolbogden2322]

OMG what a lovely work of art you did love them all so much beauties

[@JustJournalingwithPossumPatty]

Howdy, Melanie! Yeppers... you're a life-long learner! Good for you! Just discovered Kelli May-Krenz. Love her work... but I agree, take away the best ideas and make them your own. Your journal covers are amazing. Love how they are just covered in stitches and beads. I'm working on my very first stitch journal. Thanks so much for the sharing. Blessings & Bubbles...oooOOO

[@hummerklein2567]

I’m new to your channel and enjoying watching your video Be safe just sitting there sewing Thank you for sharing this with me and God bless you and yours

[@patvalenzuela5105]

I must of subscribed earlier but I don’t remember when . I love this type of stitching. I’m doing it right now. I give my stuff away. I do slow stiching and watercolor painting. All my family have my stuff, they are probably sick of it. I ove doing this stuff. Who cares how much you do leave it to your daughter. 😅😊

[@jjjoy7887]

This is my first view of your channel and you are captivating... I love your reflection at about 33 minutes when you talked about the legacy aspects of posting your videos for your children and grandchildren... this is one of the most compelling reasons I can imagine to start a channel. How I wish I could have videos of my grandmother ‘trying’ to teach me to tat. Thanks for sparking some wonderful memories. The community aspect of ‘making’ is a treasure and I feel so fortunate that there are folks like you helping us get through this trying time - especially those of us that have to stay isolated for medical and aging reasons.

[@karenw8481]

I did like listening to your thought process while you stitched. I stitched on a tiny block while listening. I really like touching hand stitching. Sorry about your father-in-law. Glad to have found your channel. Loved your sewing room tour, so organized.

[@LSI.]

I love hand stitching too because it is relaxing and meditative. I look forward to the kind of days when all I will do is hand stitching. I don't give myself permission enough, your video has inspired me to do more of what I love. Melanie, I don't know what you're talking about 😊 saying you don't write your songs because I as well as your many viewers look forward to your videos and all the creativity that you share. Not the skill that you certainly have, but the "energy" that you create with your beautiful designs and color compositions. All I can say is thank you very much for what you have shared. I am curious about that spark test, bet I'm a maker type cause I live for making stuff.

[@MelanieSullivan]

Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@sararichards518]

I’ve just found your channel and I’m going to do the Itty Bitty course, I knew there was a reason for keeping everything! I think that it’s interesting that you think you have nothing to say. The world seems too full these days of people who have too much to say while having nothing true to add to what’s already been said! There is a need for silence. I think that’s where we grow. That’s where we truly learn, for the first time, who we truly are. It’s where we find that truth that we can live by. That’s what happened to me as I withdrew from the noise. Now here I am at a place I was intended to arrive at. Thank you.

[@juneribbons5196]

Very nice stitching. I love the little pocket. It's so very pretty with the multi stitches !!! Also like the added beads. They set the piece off !!!

[@mossandstars4984]

Thank you. Your thoughts are similar to my thoughts and stitching, painting, journaling, working with papers and textures is a real interesting journey into ourselves and it is beautiful to meet people with same interests. Thank you so much. Thank you for the link to the courses. Blessings. I live in Quito, Ecuador.

[@JanetDoucette]

I found you today looking for the slow stitch that Anne does... I've been watching you all day... I really appreciate that you do make videos, because I have enjoyed watching them!

[@penelopemarshall6320]

Your slow stitching work is lovely! Enjoyed your video chat. I love learning and taking classes to broaden knowledge too. 😊❤

[@susanrascone2098]

Love your stitching and thoughts. I am not a person to talk about or put down my feelings in some form. So I totally understand. I did mixed media journals for about 2 years as a break from quilting and thought it was pointless. I would like to do the Anne Brooke snippet roll but can't find a bog wooden spool. I am doing her "book" now and love it. Your sewing room is amazing!

[@curlyanneb1973]

My darling girl....people don’t appreciate the PAIN that goes into a quilting project. They just don’t get it. Your things are stunning. Guess your teacher would have given you an A plus. We are so locked in because of snow, so you’ve inspired me to get fabric out and try a little. I’m subscribing. Don’t know how you popped up on my KZbin, but glad you did. We must all try to figure a way to put paper inside your journal type, so that we can use them. I’m thinking first thing is reinforcing with cardboard on the covers?? Anyway, thank you from all us old folks who can’t afford the lessons. I might fill mine with quilt blocks.

[@pansygirltaylor9267]

i'm binge-watching all of your videos! you're amazing!! Love your material content!

[@EmilyKariya]

So enjoyable! Thanks for sharing. I related to a lot of the things you said. I'm into journalling, stationery etc and also sew but not made the two meet yet! So it is lovely to find your channel. I'm interested in slow stitching too so might have to have a play around! ❤

[@jeannieferdinande5805]

You sound so much like me...l love to learn as well...my journals are without many words but I did leave room for them in the future...I am 78 and love the slow stitching and journal making...finally found a place for my eco dyed fabric and paper...maybe she has the virus❤️thank you for the video.

[@Knitnana]

Oh Melanie, I’m so much the same. I don’t consider myself all that creative, either. But I’ve always told myself that the ability to take fabrics and yarn and such and put them together to create bags and knitted wear (me) and quilts and books (you) IS a type of creativity. And hon, now you sent ME down another rabbit hole! 😆

[@Knitnana]

Also, I hope you keep making videos, but I totally understand the discomfort of getting negative comments. I’ve barely started my little channel, but I enjoy learning from your forays into these artistic endeavors.

[@wenncarne3615]

Melanie, your honesty is refreshing and you are a joy to watch. Can you tell us the exact courses of Kellies that you purchased? There are so many courses it would be nice to have a tip as to which ones you found the best. Your journal cover is just gorgeous, you get better and better in each video that you post, please don't change 😊

[@MelanieSullivan]

I've purchased four of Kelli's classes, but if I had to choose one to recommend, it would probably be the "Slow Stitched Journals" class. The "Journaling Layers 1" class is great too and most of it is spent working on layered journal pages (interior pages).

[@TheTruckingScribe]

You are inspiring me to make a journal cover. ❤

[@Hoodlumsx4]

I know this is an older video, but I want you to know I thoroughly enjoyed it. I feel like you were talking about me sometimes. I have a room full of stuff I make and just put away. It’s okay though. I had so much fun (and some not fun at all) making it. You wondered why do videos sometimes. Well, you inspire people! I was inspired sitting here stitching to do more stitching. I’m glad you make videos. :).

Hi Melanie, I liked and subscribed. I have really got into hand sewing this year. Found your video inspiring.

An idea for your tiny bits, like that red heart....use a satin stitch to close the edges of the heart.....i was envisioning that little red heart that way! i do see you as a song writer. The fabric spines sewn onto the hard covers is one of the masterpieces you have written!

[@MelanieSullivan]

This comment made me chuckle because I 100% agree with you on the heart. But you know why I didn't do a satin stitch around the edges? Because it would take too long! 😂 I love stitching, but I don't think I'm cut out for the "slow" movement. FYI - after reading your comment, I went back and re-stitched the heart. (And it took forever! 😜) P.S. I'm really enjoying your tiny pages on your IG feed. They're adorable!

[@Paperlover123]

I feel it is not your job to teach me anything. If I learn something from you that is on my shoulders. Love your work. I think I would have gotten the same answer from that spark test. I have a very difficult time keeping my work subdued. It is always over the top. Keep doing what you are doing as that is your authentic self, and do not apologize for being who you are. Take care and stay safe.

[@heidimedhurst2721]

Hi Melanie, I've just subscribed because you are so easy to listen to and I love your stitching! I also wonder how I can use what I'm making in my every day life so that the item has a purpose and won't be left in a container for years unseen. You make adding the beads to your work look so easy. Where do you get those tiny containers and what size beads do you use? Also I've never seen the metal spoon/scoop that you used to put away the beads you didn't need. What is that tool called? I look forward to listening to many more of your videos, please continue to make them as you are like a friend that can't come over during this horrible pandemic time in our lives.

You are writing your song as you work with your hands. What comes natural to you is complicated for others to achieve. As I was listening to you, I was watching you write the verses and the chorus. You should title that cover you love so much, “My Song” and fill it with fabric pages that you have attached your smaller pieces to. You could use it as a coffee table book to display your sweet melodies. I tested a Maven also. I thrive on learning.
