Fabric Projects Stitched Buttons Life is about the details, and this project honors that belief. Buttons are such small objects, but that doesnt mean they cant pack a punch. They have a wide range of uses, from clothing to mixed-media jewelry to closures on bags. Adding some hand stitching can personalize them and bring that final punch of special to your project. You can find cover button kits at craft stores. Coffee-Addict Kitchen Towel Whether we realize it or not, our days contain rituals. Small ones, such as drinking our morning coffee, is an integral part of how we choose to begin each day. Its no secret that I am a coffee addict. I say that I cant exist without it, and while its true that the caffeine is much appreciated, its the way I signal that my day is ready to begin. It forces a pause in the morning when the instinct is to hurry and frantically go about the daily tasks. Doodle Love Lap Quilt The word quilt is used loosely for this project. It bears a strong resemblance, but its missing two quilting components commonly used batting and binding. I started my fiber-art obsession with crazy quilts and they continue to shape much of my current work. Crazy quilts are usually just two layers of fabric and are primarily a place to display embroidery and embellishment. (Which is one of the reasons I love them so.) I like to leave the edges raw, letting them have some personality by showing their wear over time. Read more Paper Projects Stitched Botanical Note Card Those days when I was a kid making cards for special occasions or loved ones still stick with me. Its a pleasure to both give and receive handmade items, and cards are a simple gesture that put a smile on everyones face. This note card elevates the scribble crayon cards we gave Mom for her birthday. We still get to indulge our love of coloring but by adding delicate stitching, we elevate this simple token of appreciation into a work of art. Embellished Photos My brother takes the most fantastic photos. His eye for detail never ceases to inspire me. Often when I view his photography, I find myself wondering about the story behind them. There always seems to be some kind of secret lurking. Stitching on photographs is a perfect way to convey a story. Take two photos that you feel create a dialogue and unify them with stitching. The stitches added here are simpler and less dense than some of the other projects in the book. But its a good example of how hand stitching can be the background element that ties the entire project together.
