Sunday Slow Stitch with Rita

[@jilldavidson2204]

It was very helpful that you used contrasting thread to demonstrate the initial base stitches, thank you. Can I suggest you keep half an emery board (or small, non-metallic, nail file) in your needlebook and with it you can remove burrs, or even sharpen you needle, in the middle of your work with that needle. I just love the boxes.

[@ritajensen8311]

Great suggestion! Thank you so much! 🤗

Hi Rita. This turned out gorgeous. You are one talented lady. You asked me in your last slow stitch video if I do it. I responded and then remembered you said you can’t see the responses. I used to watch this very popular lady whose name escapes me. She was making slow stitching thing that wraps around a spool 🧵. I bought got a book called A~Z of Embroidery Stitches. It’s for beginners to advanced. Bought threads and needles, materials. Then discovered junk journals and never tried it. I have used the threads in the journals. ( embroidery threads) You have inspired me to give it a go. I hope it doesn’t hurt my hands and wrists. Sometimes fussy cutting does. Have a lovely relaxing evening. 🌼🌼🌼

[@ritajensen8311]

Yes, I know what you are talking about; it is like a snippet roll or scroll…I hope it doesn't hurt your hands, but since you can stitch a little at a time, it may not. Check out the stitcher I left in the description below. She has a video on a scroll, which is wonderful, and I don't think I could do that. Happy Stitching! 🪡💕🧵

[@nanstanton4085]

hello Ms. Jensen, I found your channel and watched the slow stitch piece featured in this video. How wonderful and fairly simple it can be made. I learned alot. ThNk you for sharing

[@ritajensen8311]

Thank you so much! I am so happy you were inspired by watching and coming back next Sunday! 🪡💕🧵

[@lisamendoza-rodriguez1968]

Good morning Rita. This fabric box/bowl is absolutely adorable! I am going to give it a try!☺️❤️🥰❤️… So exciting!

[@ritajensen8311]

That would be great, Lisa! Send me pictures please…🤗

[@debbiebreen6276]

How beautiful are these.!!!...I love slow stitching, I'm currently making a medieval quilt. I'm also doing Junk Journals.

[@ritajensen8311]

Thanks, Debbie! What is a medieval quilt? Sounds interesting! Maybe you could email me a picture when you finish😊

[@1HistoricalBuff]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching. I do hope you will continue to share your stitching through videos. Looking forward to seeing another journal cover being created. You have given me a new appreciation for yellow buttons. I always avoided them in the past, but the pop of vibrant color is lovely. Have a peaceful Sunday. Best wishes~ Valerie.

[@ritajensen8311]

Thank you so much! I always like a pop of yellow! 🧵💕🪡

[@pattietierney]

This is wonderful! I love watching you stitch. I also really like the big basket that was heavily embroidered that you showed at the beginning.

[@ritajensen8311]

Thank you so much! 🪡💕🧵

Hello Rita, I just love your Sunday Slow Stitching! I hope you plan to keep doing another project. I am interested in doing a scrapbook cover in a turtle or some other Hawaiian like slow stitch project. I just returned from a vacation with my two sisters. We had so much fun and I took alot of pictures to scrapbook but I want to do the cover first so I am doing some drawing to maybe come up with my own pattern. Thank you so much for your inspiration! I love your little baskets!

[@ritajensen8311]

Thank you, Sharon, for watching! You might find some cute digitals you can print on fabric and stitch around them! 🤗

Good morning Rita, it’s so awesome how hand stitching is making a revival again. Creating handstitched pieces or stitching on vintage table linens brings me such joy. I find it very comforting stitching on wool as a backing and am currently stitching a vintage doily on a wool blanket piece to create a fabric vessel/bowl.

Hi Miss Rita. I sure enjoy your videos re stitching & junk journals. I make quilt tops, but don't call myself a quilter. I've been a sewist since about age 12-ish. Many moons ago. I am currently making over 60 needlebooks for my quilt guild retreat in July. I love making them. I took the plunge into junk journals a couple of years ago & love researching & collecting various antique/vintage goodies. I noticed you have a cloth sewist journal that you pulled and would love to see a flip through of it if you haven't already done a video. Apologies, as I have not had time to search your videos re this. Sherry McConnell, Moda designer, featured on her KZbin channel a needlebook I made for her if you're interested. Hugs. Sew On & Sew Forth! Pam in LV.
