Hopeful Flowers Week 2 from Telling Stories Through the Needle's Eye

Here we are at Week 2 of our Hopeful Flowers Stitch Along! It has been great to see the blocks that everyone has been posting over in the Facebook group. We love seeing how you take our pattern and make it your own.

Today's block is the periwinkle flower, and we have used a couple of unique stitches for this one—the Pekinese stitch and the cable chain stitch, along with our good friends the blanket stitch and the French knot. Again, we will be doing something a bit different with the blanket stitch, but it is a fun ...

Hopeful Bluebird Stitching Smalls from Telling Stories Through the Needle's Eye

Back in April, we introduced our Hopeful Bluebird Stitch-Along during those uncertain times at the beginning of the pandemic—it certainly helped to keep us occupied as we all stayed at home. Our Hopeful Bluebird Facebook group was created and we really enjoyed seeing everyone's version of the wallhanging. Because it was so fun, we wanted to keep that fun going by creating more options to use our pattern so we created some sewing smalls that used our Hopeful Bluebird motifs. And to make it even easier to create, we have put together a kit for all four sewing ...

Embroidery 101-5 from Quilt Doodle Doodles...

Welcome to my fifth installment showcasing different embroidery stitches. Today I’m going to show you a threaded running stitch and a variation on a buttonhole stitch. I used them both on my Woodland Getaway panel but I think you could also experiment with these stitches on my other panels too. I’m using a #12 pearl cotton from Valdani thread for my stitching.

I used this variation on the wheel of the camper. I thought it would be a fun stitch to color in the tire... let me show you how easy this stitch is...

To start, bring your ...

Renovations, and Crumby Blocks from Elaine Adair Pieces

I am moving forward with much-needed small bathroom renovations. Best part is new shower, this time with beautiful Onyx walls and same material for counter top. The shower is in a corner, not huge, but serviceable. Yeahhhh, no longer looking like a cave. I'm just featuring "the mess". If you've done construction or remodeling, you know.

I ignored the necessary mess and changed direction, and tried making crumb blocks, taking throwaways from my trash basket. Yes, it IS great fun! I kept it geometric and stayed with the pink purples, turquoise, light greens, and then I added the ...

More learning with the Traveller's Blanket from Quilting & Learning

Monday was a long weekend in Canada and I happily spent most of the afternoon doing some slow stitching with my daughter. She was embroidering and listening to video essays while I was working on my Traveller's Blanket and listening in on the programs. It was so peaceful and pleasant. I wish that I could spend all of my afternoons like that

Embroidery 101-3 from Quilt Doodle Doodles...

Welcome back to my little embroidery series. I hope that you are having fun stitching along with me. I like to use Valdani thread either #8 or #12 weight pearl cotton (12 being my favorite). I also like to use DMC embroidery cotton, I usually use three strands when I embroider. Remember to have good lighting, a comfortable seat, beverage of your choice handy too! I’ve been addicted to ice tea lately, mango ice tea.... yum.....

I like to use #12 pearl cotton, a single strand.

If I use DMC floss, I use 3 strands for embroidery.

Today I ...

Filling in the Time from Quilting Solutions

We are all getting a bit tired of COVID19 running our lives, but I feel lucky. As a retired couple we don't go out much in normal times. As a recent meme on Facebook said, "You realize how anti-social you are when a pandemic hits and things don't change that much for you." I guess we are a bit introverted with our own activities that we enjoy. We did break out for a trip to Costco, which netted us about 1/3 of what we had on our list. They are having trouble filling their shelves because of ...
