Slow Stitching Snippet Textile Boxes

 I love my Snippet Boxes - they sit on my sewing table and I collect 

any little bits and pieces left over from my current project.

Literally snippets that are now too good to throw away.




The base is a 6” square and they stand 6” tall.

Pattern $20.00

Slow Stitching Textile Books

 I admit to a new addiction - textile books! 

They are so much fun when combined with Slow Stitching.

I have made them in Linen and Op Shop finds as well as Japanese Colours and theme.

Here are a few pages to give you an idea.


     

I have a pattern available that features lots and lots of photos taken from 
both these books and gives full instructions for designing 
and creating your textile book.

It is called "Slow Stitching Textile Books" and is $20.00

I also have a variety of packs to support your book making.

$10 Notions packs of the following laces, doilies, 
motifs, pre-embroidered snippets - see the post below.

Page Packs -  a linen set which has 14 double pages spreads 6" by 10" pre-cut in 
natural and pastel shades of linen or a similar set in indigo.

Cover Packs - pre-cut slightly larger than the pages

Japanese Folded Patchwork



My sample is a wall hanging that measures 32.5" by 43" but you can make 

your quilt any size just by adding more blocks.

It is a great project to use up favourite fabrics from your stash. Just add a plain or 

a tone-on-tone print that makes your colourful fabrics 'pop'.

I used Sarasa fabrics from Japan that I had collected on several visits.


It is a project that is totally hand pieced. 

You make the blocks as little mini quilts so once you have made the blocks 

and sewn them together that is it. 

And there is no binding to add.


This is a pattern only. $20.00
