Stitch Book

A couple of pages to be bound together.

So what have I been up to?

Getting my Hand Stitching book together...finally!


I've been hand stitching borders, backings and bindings (I know that you machine stitchers are now thinking that I'm crazy!!). I'm finding the ironing board very helpful for laying out the pages.


Making a bit of progress each day and the end is now in sight. AND I now realize that I should have done all the pages with raw-edged borders and bindings OR I should have come up with this brilliant solution from Judy Martin!

I have more ideas buzzing around in my head...which I will have to get to gradually. I have too much on my plate at the moment (teaching-wise).

What have you been up to?

    1. So true...but there needs to be a temporary one for this project! I'm continually coming up with new pages..so am thinking that Judy Martin's portfolio idea would make great sense.

  2. I like the portfolio idea very much! Bound with cloth and all with the same edge...lovely!

    1. I agree...love that you could arrange and rearrange the pieces. I'm probably going to propose this as an alternative to the book.

  3. Hi Julie,
    Are you going to publish this in a paper book?
