Lisbeth I love this idea! I'm new to your channel and live in Naples Florida and looking forward to learning more about embroidery. Thank you for sharing your stitching knowledge ❤

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

thanks and you are welcome.

[@rozdragun3015]

Ive never participated in a weekly challenge. But you sparked a fire in me on this one; keeping it so simple. Thank you Lisbeth! I'm in!

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thanks an good luck and remember to enjoy

[@LynneMockridge]

I love the concept of dogma rules for this project. Life has become too full of choices. I can't wait to get started. Thanks. Lynne in Tasmania, Australia.

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Hi Lynne . Thanks and good luck

[@gonerustic]

Also joining in from Tasmania - exciting! 😊😊

[@judybubb9063]

Also from Australia and joining in.

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

@@gonerustic welcome, nice you have time for this too.

[@gonerustic]

@lisbethdegn - I will make time! 😊😊

[@frithbarbat]

I love this idea. I am about your age, I think, and your story of the friend who died really hit home. None of us are here forever and I hope to be remembered fondly too.

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thanks and thanks for your kind words

[@NeliaPalma-f9s]

Happy new year to you, Lisbeth. You know, both my grandmother and mother were seamstresses and my sister embroiders the most beautiful pieces. However, I can bearly darn a sock and sew on a button. I may try a few easy pieces, but I'll happily continue to follow this challenge and admire and get inspired by the group's submissions.

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

You can more even more that you mother thinks you can. Everybody who can thread a needle can do this challenge. Another thing is if you want too 😉 Sewing wearable things doesn’t interest me (I admire those who can) so therefore I can’t do it.

[@NeliaPalma-f9s]

Thanks for ur wise words 😊​@@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst

[@debzehr3244]

The simplicity of circles and stitches. I love it. 💖💖💖

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thank you

[@mmemix]

Happy New year to you as well Lisbeth. You have inspired me a lot during 2024. I posted my Circle challenge just now, first time i did slow stitching. I loved doing it. While waiting for the next one, I will do a second black circkle :)

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

I know many of you here on YT by strange names, so I can’t always figure out who you are on FB. Sounds great you’re like it. You can do as many as you like with the rules and show them in the group but you can also work further by yourself. Thank you

[@doreenhedtke4139]

What a beautiful memorial to the memory of your friend. Thank you for sharing your story.❤

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thanks and you’re welcome. Yes this Dogma thing means a lot to me. I inherited here embroidery scissor so I think of here nearly every day when I use that scissor

[@LorrieKurth-gi9ow]

This sounds like a lovely project Lisbeth. Sometimes we are better to have less choice as I believe it encourages our creativity. I look forward to joining you on this challenge. Kind regards from New Zealand. Lorrie

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thank you and good luck

[@mareimontalvo2725]

Love this idea Lisbeth! Rules and restrictions are absolutely what I need to help me re-establish my art practice after too many years of full-time work and raising my son. Love your chanel, thank you ❤.

Hello from West Cork, Ireland. I am so looking forward to doing this, this year. I love the idea of making a book for the finished pieces, I better get busy!

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

You better do 🙏

[@SaraKelly-ze4zz]

I am smiling because K3n Clothtales introduced me to Ensō circles and I have begun a series of them. Now you are helping me on that path. Thank you.

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Nice to hear but this is not a real Enzo just a circle ⭕️

[@SaraKelly-ze4zz]

@@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst I love that you showed us how to do it with a gel plate.

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

@@SaraKelly-ze4zz thank you. just one way of doing it.

[@katiajardine9363]

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear friend and fellow sewing. I am looking forward to the simplicity of dogma embroidery. The simplicity will make me reach further for creativity!

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thanks and I sure it will

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thanks and you’re welcome

[@maryclemons1048]

Great challenge! Your piece looks very nice in your lovely book.

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thank you

[@darkallegiance666]

Count me in, Lisbeth! I am Renee from Victoria, Australia, & I’ve only started slow stitching in early 2024. You scare me when you say that the sewing will get harder by the end of the year, but since you are the person who taught me how to do feather stitch, back when you included it on one of your paper projects, I know that you are an excellent teacher, as well as a wonderful artist. 🧵 One of my very favorite bands is Danish, called Svartsot - they do folk metal of Danish folk lore, & they are marvellous! Unfortunately, I don’t know Danish, so the only lyrics that I know the meaning of are those that have been translated on various sites, which is not enough! 😊

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Nice to have you in the boat and don’t worry you will do fine. Doing something new is always a little scary. The name of the band is Sort Sol and that means black sun. Think the word svart you says is Swedish

[@Sa_Stafford]

I love this idea. Thank you so much. Very exciting. ❤

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thank you

[@debbieswift6374]

I have been inspired by you since i discovered your channel many months ago. It is time for me to participate with you and your followers. Debbie from Vancouver Island Canada

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Great and welcome

[@kristinev7671]

Thank you for sharing the wonderful story of dogme embroidery and inviting us to start the new year with new art. Suddenly the bedsheet looks like it would rather be a book cover and a background. Perhaps it is time for my fabric hunt to begin. Happy new year❣️

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thanks and you’re welcome. Yes it time 😊

[@carolbyrne3241]

I just love this idea and very happy to follow along with you ❤

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thanks and please do

[@sharonbeach1002]

One of my favourite movies is Italian For Beginners, which is a Dogme 95 film. I love all your videos, Lizbeth!

[@sharonbeach1002]

Sorry! Lisbeth. I can't spell!

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Exactly, great movie. The telly send here in the Christmas holidays. Thanks

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Nether can I so I have no trouble reading you 😉

[@Gigi-k7x]

Happy new year Lisbeth! What a lovely project to start the year with! 💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thank you 🙏

[@lisaess6514]

Thank you for this one , Lisbeth! I’ve been wanting to learn embroidery for a while now and this is the perfect way to get started. Happy, happy New Year

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thanks and the same to you.

[@nancydeibert2513]

sounds like fun Thank you

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

You’re welcome

[@ruthiesexton5199]

Happy New Year! Looking forward to following you again this year! Where is video on stitching the book please.

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

The same to you. The video was released here on YT between Christmas and new year. Just look at my channel

[@sharonparks8144]

Love this challenge - could you possibly speak louder into you microphone - I can barely hear you - thank you❤️❤️

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thank you. Sorry no, I am speaking the loudest I can, next I would be screaming

[@dailydoseofpaper]

❤🍀💖

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

🙏 Machteld

[@mgquilts]

Looking forward to ding this first circle challenge. What is the gsm of the pages in the book the challenge stitches will go into?

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Great. It is some very old papers I used when I was was making cards many moons ago, so I don’t know the exact gsm. But I would use between 140-200 gsm.

[@noraabner9485]

How many weeks? I love the challenge.

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thanks 52 weeks

[@bunzerboy]

Did I miss it, or what is that tape called please.

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Double sited tape.

[@olwynm402]

What an inviting project! Are there other rules regarding circles? One large or a circle of any size? More than one? Black paint or any colour? This project seems like just the right size for me- not too big, not too small, with room for lots of accidental discovery. I’m new to slow stitch and live on Vancouver island in Canada. Thank you for this.

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thanks Follow the very simple rules and don’t do anything else. If something is free. I will write it. Light colored fabric 1 circle in any size you want. Only black paint. Running stitches in straight lines. Thread in your color choice. If all just do what they want to do in the challenge it will not be exciting to see how different we do it, despite we have been following the same rules. What you do by yourself is totally up to you but then it’s not a part of this challenge. You’re welcome to do more than one and develop ii by yourself

[@junk-usi]

Lov this idear ❤ is there a hashtag for posting and find other people how participate too out of facebook😊 💐🤎🦊🦊🤎

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thanks Uschi. Haven’t thought of that. But how about: #stitchedcircleshowchallenge #dogmaembroidery
