Would be great to have a embroidery stitch encyclopedia that illustrated the stitches like this along with detailed sketches of how to do the stitches.

I do have stitching guides but I felt that if I did the actually stitches in the pieces, it would help me develop muscle memory. Sort of like knitting or crochet…one doesn’t have to look at a guide to know what a knit or purl stitch is. I think it has helped! There are so many stitches…the “book” would be so fat! lol…I was just trying to figure out a way to use up the samples I made up instead of tossing them away into a drawer! It is really a “keep busy” project.

It’s a great project! It’s the sort of project that can (and should be) lovingly passed on to future generations!

I love this! It’s late and I’m tired so I can’t express all the ways that I love this, but I really do!

I’m calling it early, but this is going to be one of my most admired projects for the year xx

What a brilliant idea and also, the colors you’re using look soooo good together. They remind me of fall which is my favorite season by far.

lol I used a set of charms that I got as a bargain a while back…I wanted to use up my stash supplies…didn’t realize how many threads and doo-dads I had that were in that fall color scheme…I must like fall as well!

These are just fantastic. I have been binge watching slow stitch YT for a while now since we’re staying at home so much. And have taken up this stitching art also. Your variety and composition are wonderful. Love the idea of a book. Definitely an art piece. Thank you for sharing.

Is there anyone who follow? I follow sew4soul and hannemade…Jude Hill is another person I like…I enjoy having some prompts to keep me motivated during this time at home.

I love these! I never knew there were so many different stitches. They are beautiful. I love the color palette you picked. It’s so warm and comforting.

There are way too many stitches to fit into one book…I thought about doing more of them, but I am bored with this project and will start another. Thanks…yes, I love the palette…I have to find larger pieces of fabric to complete the book…

What do the backs of the pages look like?

AIMR · July 23, 2020, 6:39pm

They are backed up to each other…there are 5 pages but 10 stitches…I joined them with blanket stitch…in the picture above, the first pic is the front and second is the back…

Back Front

Thanks for clarifying!!

I have added to my growing list of stitchers to follow on YT. Thank you for telling me about Jude Hill. I love HanneMade and allsewnup tutorials. I am into Junk Journals or JJs and they are known. Check out Carol Martine, Melanie Sullivan, Roxy Creations, and Oak House Journals. Also want to figure out better ways to organize the ever-growing pile of supplies we gather.
