Nine imagined botanicals stitched! I'll be sewing them to fabric pages using needle-turn appliqué to create a lovely textile book. These designs will make up my first stick and stitch embroidery pack, 'Bloom' coming soon. 'Float Away' Here are February's joys, happenings, thoughts and daydreams for my textile and embroidery journal #scrolloftheyear March is going to be about balancing my stitching with preparing to move home and I am feeling completely overwhelmed by the prospect. I want to magically get there without the hard parts in the middle but I know that life is not like that and nor should it be. The arrival at our destination will be even sweeter because of the ups and downs of the journey... Current to do list! I know it’s past mid-February, but here I am preparing the February edition for #scrolloftheyear Hand printed, collaged and embroidered textile pages for what will be a small fabric book. These were the pages that made something click for me in my work. Cutting up cloth (in this case hand printed by me and my son), building a background to create a collage and then stitching on top in striking black embroidery thread felt and looked right to me somehow. I created the botanicals and shapes on this piece by sketching directly onto the fabric with a heat erasable pen. The results of my experimentation are most often image-rich pieces that hold stories, such as Scroll of the Year. A little flower for the weekend. Stitched using the humble back stitch on remnant fabric and felt. Simple joy. Two more pages from what will be a collaged, slow stitched and embroidered textile book. These feature primroses, my sweet Mum's faves and the shoes I can imagine she wore when primrose picking with her sister as a child. And houses. You'll see these popping up a lot in my work. You can read yesterday's caption to find out why.
