- This week I make a stitched piece for my journal by doing a variation of the bento design, by piecing in two stages.

We appreciate your time and dedication to filming 🎥 our projects. I personally wake each Monday and Wednesday eager to view what we will do that day. The conversation is a big part of the enjoyable experience.
❤ yes. I do too
Thank you Pam I am so pleased you are here ❤️
Thank you for all the effort you put into making these videos. They bring a lot of joy and mindfulness into what can be a stressful life xx
I so agree with you!!
You could also begin with a large brown square and sew 2 light small squares on top with raw edges showing 😊
Poodles were originally used for retrieving water fowl. The fancy trims that later became fashionable for them were to keep their leg joints warm whilst reducing the bulk around their middles for swimming. The name came from the old German name "Pudlen" meaning "to splash".
I had a feeling they were also swimmers but wasn't sure. Stella is good at splashing at least 🤣❤️
Yes, yes. James Cromwell! So good and understated, playing that character, wasn’t he? He played a good villian, too, on occasion. I’m so looking forward to stitching my Bento bag! Thank you. Hope the show and meeting of co-chairs went well. I so appreciated your taking all of us on your show tour. xoxo
Thank you, yes it was a good trip 😁❤️
This is a beautiful piece, with all of those rich natural colours playing together!
Thank you Kate ❤️
The texture and structure created by the running stitches is beautiful. I just want to reach in and touch it. Thank you for sharing ❤ 🇦🇺
I have a confession to make. I started looking up stitching and embroidery videos because my mom gave me all of her embroidery supplies and unfinished projects just before she died. I have had these large bags full of embroidery floss and linen and I have absolutely no idea what to do with them. I spin, knit and crochet and that’s what I am doing while I’m watching. That and thinking about how I would interpret these projects in crochet or knit, which I think would be awesome. I started a quilt after her death in an attempt to teach myself something to do with the supplies but I just recently started working on it again.
Basically, I just watch because I enjoy the process and the stories. I haven’t stitched any of the projects at all, I just enjoy the videos.
It would be wonderful to interpret the stitching in knit or crochet, and of course there's no obligation for you to make the stuff I make, I am delighted that you enjoy watching or listening. 😉 I made a quilt when my Dad died using his shirts and hankies. It was a very soothing, comforting project that helped me process my grief. I hope your mum's quilt does the same for you. ❤️
Thank you for teaching me some quilting tricks 😊
Love it! I didn't know there were so many variations on log cabin.
Dear Kathryn, you are allowed to take a holiday (not too long please) and have a week off filming now and again. Love this design..
Thank you Alison ❤️
Such a soothing and harmonious colourscheme. The way you've arranged the colours really makes them sing just like ordinary words in their right place are transformed into a poem.
Beautiful words, thank you ❤️
Enjoyed listening and watching. I am still working on the Greek key, but i will get to this one. I love your journal🌷🌷🌷
What a lovely block
Hi Kathryn, Oh my word I nearly fell off my chair when you gave me a mention, I was so busy working and listening it was the last thing I was expecting. You are such a sweet lady thank you so much. Your piece is amazing I'm not sure if my brain could manage it you make it look so easy. I hope you had lots of fun on your trip to England and has returned with lots of lovely ideas for your future work. Thanks again, love Bella xx
My pleasure Bella, please don't fall off your chair 😁 I am still in England, having a good time, back to France on Sunday ❤️
Thank you 😊
Lovely
Oh Kathryn, you do sound a little weary in this. I hope you have had some time off , of some kind, while you have been away in England. Maybe I recognise the signs because of things that happened to me in the last couple of years, or maybe it is because you wanted to do so many recordings before going away and I have been imagining how tiring that might be. Anyway, all those things that people say about looking after yourself, it turns out they are right! You are, as other people have said here, dedicated to filming for us, but I’m sure we all want you to be rested too.❤
Thank you Nina, I am ok. So sweet of you to worry about me. I am being well looked after by my friend in England ❤️
Interesting block...I agree it would make a lovely rice bag. Love the wonky. Many thanks for sharing. x Blessings x Mariana xx
That block is so wonky!! I love it!! Hugs ❤️
I have made two more so far, I think they are even wonkier 😂❤️
I didn't see where this was going when you started, but at the end I finally got it. So fascinating!❤
Wonderful work K3n, before I started watching your Chanel, I had no idea of how many log cabin variations were out there, thank you for enriching my knowledge on this topic. One more thing I love the wonky, because that means, it’s a one off piece, even if you tried you wouldn’t be able to get it the same.
I agree about the wonky and thank you ❤️
This one seems an eye puzzle to me, K3N. I don't know if I'm appreciating the dark/light pattern developed. It makes me think of some puzzles which befuddle my brain (sudoku). As always, I enjoyed your talking about 'life in a day' and the many tips you disclose. Hope you are having a terrific time in England.
Thank you Ann yes I am, I can see why this design might be befuddling 😁❤️
I’m finally able to get back to this and work on finishing my bento block. I had stopped your video until I could get back to it and you just said X marks the spot. It’s so strange because in my Desert Island post on FB I said the same thing. Mind you I hadn’t seen this video yet. And I believe this was premade since you are away. Also, Ive decided to use red in my stitching on this piece(just will be in a different way) and you’ve just decided to do the red X. Love these simple connections.
Me too, about the connections, yes I filmed this about two weeks ago 😁♥️
I’ve cut off a few of my jeans to make shorts this year. I’m adding slow stitch patches - this one will be a fun pocket and conversation piece. Thanks!
Thank you for another interesting block. I might pass on this one, it kind of did my head in 🤯 all those little seams 😂maybe when I have caught up with other things I will attempt it! Whether I do or not is irrelevant I still love watching and listening to you 😊❤
Thank you, it is indeed a bit 'seamy' 😁 I like sewing seams sometimes but not everyone does I know. 😉❤️
Put in your Idea section of your Common Place book: small exercise in non-dominant hand stitching. My girlfriend grew up being forced to stich right handed in spite of being naturally left handed. Maybe righties experiencing the awkwardness of it all will get something from how much more you have to focus on the process. And you can whitter about all the sinister, gauche and other discriminatory words lefties have dealt with through history as well as all the artists & gifted athletes who are lefties.
It's already on the list 😉 ❤️
Very cute!
Enjoyed the video thank you
Wonderful. I will try this one for sure.
I'm so surprised that it sounds so firm when you're sewing the last rounds, I never would have thought your soft cloths would be that sturdy! Gorgeous piece, I may have to try it, even though I'm really not good at piecing!
You don’t have to be good at piecing, you just need to enjoy the journey, it’s Wonky Wednesday after all.
Piecing is just stitching two bits of cloth together, I have every faith in you Nancy. Also, when you stitch to a foundation, it holds everything together, then some fancy stitching on top and the piecing fades into the background. ❤️
Very interesting block. I love it. I didn’t sew along with you because I’m running out of fabrics for these. Have to have a tea dye session today! ❤
Have fun Meg 😊❤️
Turned out lovely 💞. A bit fiddly for me ....I will keep trying 🦋💐 x
I am sure you can do it 💪❤️
My mom used to say " my nose is itchy, I'm gonna kiss a fool." Then she would find her partner and give him a 💋 😅
😂❤️
❤ another inspirational Wonky Wednesday, thank you Kathryn. I've just finished .last week's Greek one and it's very Wonky, but I love it. ❤️ can you please tell us the name of the Welsh lady and her daughter's site again as I can't find it. Thank you.
I think she said it was Bella’s crafty table. At around the 30:15 mark on this video.
@@SassySue67 thank you I found it.
@@lucillecash3046 glad to help, I was reading your comment at the exact time she mentioned that channel. 😂
Could you please advise where you find the “bobbins” you keep your threads on ~ I absolutely love them ~ not sure what to call them so as to look for them. ~ thank you for all your videos
Do you mean the flat sticks or the round ones? The round ones are old wooden spools, picked up here and there, thrift stores, car boot sales etc and the flat ones are the sticks out of ice lollies, saved over the years. The children knew early not to throw them away. 😁❤️
The flat ones were the ones that I was interested in and I just happened to find them on Etsy ~ thank you again for your help and your videos.
Nose itches? You’re going to kiss a fool.
😱😂❤️
Itchy nose. My Mother used to say, "You're going to be kissed, cursed or vexed" and then she would kiss me on the nose.
That's so sweet 🥰
This block bothers me! 🤔It seems to confuse my eyes and is unsettling!😕
I am sorry, guess we can't all like everything 😁♥️
Lovely story about Stella. My friend has a seeing eye dog that is a poodle. People think she is not blind because her aid dog isn't a Shepherd or a Labrador. 🦮 I truly want to try this one. My problem is I start a project and your 1 hour working gets it done, with me 24 hours later I'm putting the finishing stitches. 🪡
You know I love this, don’t you? And you know I’m going to make one or more, don’t you? 😁 I’m thinking about a box 🤔…
Your ideas are always amazing!!!!
I hope you’re having a wonderful time in England 🧡💙🩷🤎🩵❤️💜💚🤍💛
( I know you’re not obligated to answer and I’m not obligated to comment, but I wrote you a comment on Monday’s video and I don’t know if you saw it… sometimes my comments disappear… I don’t know if it’s because they’re so big 😅😁… I’m going to copy it as if it were another comment)
I have made nearly two more blocks in odd moments, thinking of either a box or rice bag 😁 not sure about Monday's comment, I will have a look, it's possible I missed it, I am not in my usual routine that I have when i am at home of methodically going through the comments, I am reading the comments in odd moments like now when I am awake at 4.30am 😁 sometimes comments don't appear in the notifications and then I see them in the app. ❤️
