Off Piste as usual



I’ve taken up a new project called STITCH A WEEK put together by LEAH HALLIDAY


Week one is running stitch.
It’s the only running you’ll see me do.


I can’t help it but I never seem to stick to the script.
The aim is to build up a sampler of 50 stitches over the weeks but as usual I’ve gone off piste and will be presenting my stitches in a different form each week, starting with a cut up pair of children’s denims I got for 10p in the charity shop.

  5. Morning Lynn. Well done you! Years ago I did a C&G in design and embroidery... that was off piste, too - and definite abuse to the sewing machine!!! I love the way you have presented your running stitch. You will have quite a folder by the end of 2018.
    Take care. God bless.

  7. Love the stitching. My mum taught me to embroider as a child. The stitching can be used for all sorts of items including sewing up knitting.

  8. Ha, that made me laugh! You're talking to a fellow rebel here who always goes off piste and very rarely follows instructions :-D. I can't help it, it's just how I am. Love the running stitch on the denim, it looks fantastic!

  9. Ha, can't help it...I tend to say this if the outcome that is intended is not going to be practical or useful, for example - I like the idea of a stitch a week, I already know that I don't want a sampler to stuff in my sewing bag! Likewise, I don't journal..because then what do you do with it?!!
    I must say, your work room is looking splendid Miss Lynn.

  17. I love the idea of learning a new stitch each week, but I don't know much about Instagram . . . I think it is something to do on smart phones, which I don't have. Maybe I'm wrong about that . . . it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong about something, or the second, or the 100th for that matter, LOL. Your little denim pouch is delightful, as is everything you touch:) I have been working on a new quilt and using embroidery thread and that running stitch all through it. I hope to have it finished in a couple of days and will be posting photos. It's bright and colorful and very much BoHo.
    I love the photo of your studio, too. I can't get enough of having a peek into the happy areas where creative people have fun.
    Have a sweet day.
    Connie :)
