Thank you so much for watching! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Please don’t fret about wasting time Roxy! Remember I can always click pause if needed. Just work peacefully. Love love your stitching and chatting. Thank you so much. Be safe and well.
Thank you so much!
I think I may play along. I need to practice new stitches and I think this would be a great way to do that.
What a great idea to tea dye and add just a bit of regular dye!
Thank you so much 😊
I have never seen blanket stitch used anywhere but on the edge of something. It looks cool on the circle. This old dog just learned a new trick!
Thank you so much!
I do love the idea of slow stitching Rachel. Your blanket stitched circle looks like a rose. I’m definitely going to start as I am a “fabricholic”. I loved your gorgeous Florence lace - what a treasure - they reminded me of my granny’s lace collars, which weren’t quite in the Florence league. Do you ever sleep Rachel, as you achieve so much?🌹🌸
I don't sleep enough! Thank you so much!
I am so inspired by all of your needlework, ideas, planning process and the free flow of your creativity that I am going back and watching every video I can find. I have to say the world is so blessed by you and of course Anne Brooke, and your Sister Sarah and your mom. Thank you for sharing and please never stop sharing and I just love hearing you talk about your life in general as you are working, and its so relaxing, like spending an hour with a good friend.
Wonderful! Thank you so much 😊
I think I will stitch along. It looks like fun. I'm not very good at any kind of sewing. I do have plenty of time so I will give it a try. Stay safe..Linda
You can just do simple stitches and it will look lovely. Thank you so much!
Looking forward to more of this. In case you haven’t realized, those of us that are interested WILL watch. Those that aren’t, won’t and will come back for the stuff they do like to watch. I, for one, enjoy the variety of talents you have and share with us. We don’t mind long videos....I watch but if I have to go do something I stop the video and come back later. If I don’t like the speed, I speed it up.
Close up is good for these types of things.
Always good to learn new things and we all know that with the time in home we have now, we are looking for new interesting things to do!
Will finish watching then check Anne out! Thank you!!! 🤗💕
I may try to zoom in a little next time! I hope you are doing well. Thank you so much 😊
Roxy Creations when I expanded my screen it was actually perfect. I can’t wait to see where you go with it!!!
So Tks for showing the edge stitch on the red and white I wondered what to do. And yes you stayed on screen. I prefer this close up shot so I can see what you are doing. I’m new at this.
Closer. Ext time!
Yippeeee a sewing video!! I am so excited. Thank you so much xx Mariana UK xx
Thank you so much 😊
Only found this video today. Thanks to Covid I have been in isolation for 7;months now, and you lovely ladies are keeping me sane. I will be crafting along with you Rachel, thanks so much from South Africa 🇿🇦 just love your work so much x
I hope you are well and safe!!! Thank you so much!
Perfect project for tv watching in the evening! TSF the idea.
Thank you so much!
Can't believe I just found this video. I had made my first Snippet roll a few weeks ago and was looking through TH-cam videos for ideas on how to decorate it, that's how I came across your Journal of Stitchery challenge that you started at the beginning of 2022. Which I immediately joined, it was almost the end of February, so I made a start on my February panel, with very little sewing know how and with a vague idea on how too do a couple of embroidery stitches, just over a week later I'm really enjoying myself, February panel is done, I've done the Sampler panel and I'm already three quarters done on the new March panel, on which I've already done 9 new stitches i learnt by doing the Sampler panel. I plan on catching up with the Title page panel and the January Panel as well. My Snippet roll has been left somewhat abondoned, then up pops this video and I'm suddenly seeing lots of possibilities to use my newfound slow stitching and embroidery stitches etc skills to finish off my Snippet roll. How amazing, wow just wanted to say a big Thank you, to opening up a whole new World of sewing to me that I didn't know existed.
Thank you so much!
Looking down from the top, while you stitch works great for me.
Thank you so much!
I must admit that I haven't been watching you the last several months because my journaling has taken a dive. I loved it truly but got pulled under after having some of them on display for sale in a near by antique shop, I hadn't sold a one. I should never have offered them up for sale, but friends are insistent. I boxed up dozens and dozens of them and turned a deaf ear to my dear community of journal making friends. I have missed you so Missy Rachel. Then low and behold after getting interested in Miss Anne, I found you again thru her recommendation of your fine site. I am happy again. Always loved your needle work. I'm back and excited about visiting you everyday in your fine country. Missed Stephie and Lulu too. Love your family.
I'm so sorry you lost interest in your journal making! Sewing is just as much fun! Welcome back! Thank you so much!
Gorgeous fabrics! I love the way that you put them all together.
I'm such a fan of your lovely work and channel! Thank you so much!
Roxy Creations the feeling is mutual thank you so much💕
I noticed you having trouble with your threads tangling...a trick I learned from my mother in law when she was teaching me to stitch...hold your fabric up in the air a bit and drop your needle...it will spin and untangle your thread...voila!...no more tangle....just pick it up and go on with your work...you can do this as often as necessary... it works every time!
Fantastic, great to know! Thank you so much 😊
Sandy Rector that’s what I was going to suggest, but I looked at the comments and saw yours. I think I must rotate the needle as I work, but dangling the needle and letting the thread spin fixes it right up. 👍🏼
great thank you
I was trying to figure out how to sew and not creat the twists. Nope. Haven't figured out a way 🤔
It’s a bit like untangling those old phones.
Rachel, I am working on one of these stitch rolls....I have only done a few stitching projects....my Mama was the best!!! she's not here, but in Heaven now.....
My mum is the best too! She's my guru! Thank you so much!
Enjoyed the Anne Brooke channel...thanks for sharing. She is a lefty too, I enjoy watching you cut out things it seems so at ease❤️I did enjoy the way she comes back and fills in with knots❤️
I agree she’s fab and this is a fun project!
I found it very relaxing to watch you stitch. I don't think I could do all that stitching....I certainly couldn't make it look even half as nice as you do. But, it was still relaxing. Thank you for the link and for showing how to stitch. Thank you, also, for the stories and tips.
Take care.
Thank you so much 😊
So enjoying this project. Caught up through April, but still working on those dang knots.
Thank you so much!
Roxy, I love slow stitching and sashiko or quilting by hand. I am a textile artist and have been sewing since I was taught by my Italian father at the age of 3. When I first watched your video you had about 30 people watching and Anne was a little of 500 subbies. Since you have had so many people watching, Anne is now over 800 subbies. Thanks for sharing your craft and for introducing the group to a new crafter!
I'm so pleased, Anne is wonderful and deserves it! Thank you so much!
Oh my gosh he is so cute! Love him.
Thank you so much!
I really enjoyed watching...thank you for sharing
Thank you so much!
I asked my Mom if she'd like to do this challenge along with me, like you and your Mum! I sew, but have not done embroidery. My Mom does lots of it and she will help guide me, along with you and Ann. My Dad does woodwork and is going to make our wooden spools! What a nice way to connect with my parents miles and miles away🥰 Thank you for sharing this challenge information Rachel!
Fabulous, what fun! Mum and I are enjoying it! Thank you so much 😊
I like the epically blanket stitch.
Thank you so much 😊
Should be spiral-ly....
I am practicing, after seeing what you were doing with the collab with Ann Brooke. I have only done counted cross stitch as far as embroidery goes. I started with watching Ann's favorite stitches and got a scrap of cloth and tried them each out, So then I decided I needed much more practice before starting my snippet. I found a square of felt and covered it with some fabrics and I am practicing my stitches on that for now, I also made some suffolk puffs we call them yo yos and some hexies to play with too, So I am all for doing this with you once a week at least and I like it when you have the camera closer so we can see the stitch better. I am finding this very calming and a little challenging. I am starting to feel like I have my hands in so many pies, JJ, mixed media, making ephemera, and all that goes with JJ and now slow stitching too. haha I am loving it thanks a bunch. Hugs and Smiles Take care and continue to be safe please
I am so pleased!!! Thank you so much!
Even watching you hand sew is relaxing. Thanks for introducing us to Anne Brooke and her slow stitching project. Very appealing to me.😊
Thank you so much 😊
I love these stitching videos, Rachel! I watch (mostly listen) while I sit and do my stitching. Thanks and take care!
I hope you are well! Thank you so much 😊
Its so soothing and relaxing to watch Rachel.
Thank you so much!
Oh, I love this idea! I'm so glad you shared.
Rachel, thanks for showing that stitch. I always learn something when I watch you. Have a blessed day. 🌈🙏💛💛🙏🌈
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Rachel for sharing Anne's channel! Looks like such fun - - I am so looking forward to doing this!
OH Rachel, thank you for introducing us to Anne's textile art. And bonus that she is a leftie! I used to sit in front of my righty-Mom, who taught me embroidery when I was 10. Happy to have rediscovered that art. Your camera setup is fine. I love to see close-ups after it's finished, but I can imagine it would be hard to stitch under a camera. Keep doing what you are, you're perfectly fine. I also found your sister on YT, and love her work, too. I'm inspired! Glad things are better in Italy. Annette
Isn't it great she's a lefty!!! Thank you so much!
I think I will watch this again and start this project. Loved watching you work on this!
Thank you so much!
I very much enjoyed watching this. I don’t have a large stash of fabrics, but may try to gather some up to give it a go. Very relaxing, indeed. Big xx’s 💞, Robbin.
Thank you so much!
Love watching you stitch. The distance your at now is perfect .
Thank you so much!
I love love to hand stitch, so will definitely be doing this. Thank you Rachel 😊
You’re not wasting anytime. Love to watch your process 🌷
Thank you so much!
OM gosh your Mom’s piece is gorgeous!!! I have an embroidery machine with all kinds fancy stitches. This inspires me to create something the old fashioned way. Love the fabrics you’ve picked out! I’m amazed at the volume of supplies you have!
Thank you so much!
I have really been wanting to try slow stitching. Thank you for doing this
Thank you so much 😊
I adore everything you have chosen for this. No, NO.. back in to its box. I have my favorite laces and fabrics in a box and into my hope chest with other things that I can’t begin to cut just yet. Well , That was 3 years ago. I’m thinking 🤔 I might choose some fabrics in the chest and some fabric. I have no idea when I will feel better so I have a tad bit more time to starting a snippet roll. 😱 you first Rachel🦋
They are a good place to put your favourite bits! Thank you so much!
Rachel you have me so inspired, I love your slow stitching! Totally relaxing!🌹
Thank you so much!
textils..we just can not get rid of those bit and pieces..and texture is formed again! a real art work..
Thank you so much!
Oh my! Just when I had determined to give away fabric bits, I see oh no, I might need these!
Better keep some 😂!
Wonderful I'm so glad you are bringing more sewing in with the journal making.
Thank you so much 😊
Anne Brooke's art is wonderful & has me wanting to try my hand at sewing art. Rachel thank you for introducing us to this project!! What delightful bouquet of fabrics you pulled together.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! those Florence laces are gems! Rachel you have me soooooooooo excited to try this happy new craft!!
It’s a lovely way to sew as there are no rules you do what you want. Thank you so much 😊
What a bonus, I get to see blanket stitch for lefties & a spiral (my most favorite doodle/motif)!! Thanks so much!
Thank you!! 😊
I love watching you stiching away! So calm n relaxing!
Thank you so much!
Very cool piece you’re making. That inspires me to get my fabrics back out and play along too. Thanks Rachel
Thank you so much 😊
This looks like so much fun. I love to embroider and no one seems to do it much anymore, so the slow stitch looks awesome. Thanks for finding this challenge! Hugs
Thank you so much 😊
I love it! Such beautiful fabrics you have too!
Thank you so much!
Love this idea, love working with fabric and laces. You are a great inspiration!
Thank you so much 😊
Oh this looks fun! Those lace’s you picked up in Florence! Oh my....absolutely gorgeous...having lace envy 😍
Thank you so much 😊
Rachel, I'm anxious to see what else you have done on this project. I am fascinated by it. Not like you have anything else you are doing right now!!! Ha!!! i.e. the 100 day project and your birthday/friendship challenge!!! You're one busy lady!!!! Thank you so much for all your lovely videos!!! 😊❤
Thank you so much!
I found you from Anne Brookes sew 4 your soul, fab to listen to your video while I am doing my stitching :)
Thank you so much 😊
Sooooo relaxing !! I will be getting my material ready in the morning ! Thank You
Woohoo! Thank you so much 😊
Oh wow-what an awesome idea-I love this. Can't wait to see what you do next!!
Thank you so much 😊
I'm so happy you are doing this project. I love everything you show us that has slow stitching in it, your mom's work is fabulous. Thanks for introducing us to Anne's work. As of yesterday I started sewing masks for my family that work at a hospital in Phoenix. Maybe I could add a little slow stitching to them :). Thank you so much for keeping things normal for us during this time. Hugs Kathy
I hope they are all safe! Thank you so much 😊
I love this....I have a recently ongoing fascination with sewing little fabric clusters and adding beads and buttons....I have been sewing since childhood and crocheting and creating dolls.... I find that I don’t have as much time for it normally but, my responsibilities at my job have changed recently and I find that I have time at work now....snippets are an easy craft to carry along...I make them by the batches and I have had some success selling them on my Etsy...now that the quarantine has come about, I have begun Art Journaling and have been having fun with that but, watching this video, I want to get my fabrics back out....I might try my fancy embroidery stitches...and, I could add buttons and beads...ooooo... I am so excited...❤️❤️❤️
That's fantastic! Thank you so much!
So excited to learn about slow stitching! Hope I can try this soon. Continually praying for you, your family and Italy.
Thank you so much!
Great tutorial of what to use
These fabrics are antique or older fabrics Im not into dark or old but everyone seems to use these type you use
Im into bright pretty fabric so I guess Ill look around to see if I can find someone who uses those
I used to have lots of bits and pieces from my quilt making but on moving they were given away..... shame
Ill check out more of your vids though
Thank you
🇦🇺🌺❤️
So excited! I love stitching on paper and am making a slow stitch journal cover! This will be such fun and will enjoy using all my favorites!
Thank you so much 😊
That selection of fabrics and laces you laid out put me in hog heaven...smiling all over, Rachel. Best Carol...
Thank you so much!
Love to hear the process and your thinking!🐦🌼🌺
I went and saw Anne's work. Love her studios. Her work is gorgeous. I'm loving your start.. I love the circle
I love her studio too! Thank you so much 😊
I want to try this. Your roll is wonderful
Thank you so much!
I love this slow stitching project. It was relaxing just watching you stitch along. Been a long time since I did this kind of stitching but am definitely going to pull of some fabric and swatches and start a project. Would be nice to work on while watching tv. Thank you!
Thank you so much 😊
What fun! Going over to check out Anne now. Looking forward to seeing this progress.
Thank you so much 😊
Ohh my gosh so happy you are stitching. I’ve been stitching through this craziness. Can’t wait to see where you go.
Thank you so much 😊
So lovely I have just started slow stitching again and am finding it so relaxing.
Thank you so much!
I love that I think you make me discover something and I’m so happy thank you so much and for me above is ok Rachel it’s relaxing to watch what you do have a beautiful time with your family and stay safe xx
Thank you so much 😊
Oh, Rachel, this is wonderful!!!! It is so enjoyable watching you stitch!!!!!!
Thank you so much!
Loving it
Thank you so much!
I absolutely love the collection of fabrics and laces that you have selected to do this project. I love slow stitching although I haven’t done it in many many years but you’ve inspired me to give it a go again. I’m still working on my cross stitch project as I watch you craft. I love how “real” you are.....mistakes and all. LOL it gives hope to the rest of us mere mortals. Thanks so much for sharing. Hugs, Sharron 💗🤗🌸
I make mistakes all the time and have to unpick them😂! Thank you so much 😊
I LOVE THIS!!! I have never thought to continue the blanket stitch like that. It's gorgeous!!
Thank you so much 😊
thanks so much Rachel for bringing this lady to my attention on here and IG , love her work just as I do yours watching you each day feels like sitting down and crafting with a friend and for me you can waffle all you like I love it !! LOL stay safe and well
Thank you so much 😊
Thanks I learned so much from yours videos
Thank you so much!
This is not boring! I love it! Your hands work how ever you have it today.
Thank you so much 😊
I'm making these and embroidering bible verses thru them so that when they unroll you can read it like a fabric version of the old promise box idea
Just found this and I love it! Love watching your videos.
Thank you so much!
This is a perfect project!!! I have been wanting to do something similar, but to create pockets and belly bands for my journals but I’m not a sewer so wasn’t sure where to start. This is perfect for what I had in mind. Thank you so much for sharing!!! I know exactly how I want to do it now!!! I’m super excited to get started. But first I have a bag of embroidery cotton I purchased at a garage sale that I need to wash before using. Then I can make a start. Super excited!!! Thank you!!! Hugs, Sharon 🌷💜
I hope you enjoy it! Thank you so much 😊
This is something I would have loved to do..about 30 or 40 years ago. Now my hands are to crippled with Arthritis. I did pretty much all kinds of sewing both by hand and machine, but never saw slow stitching until you showed yours and your mothers awhile back. can't wait to see your progress. Say Hi to Steffie for me.
I will, he's sleeping at the moment! Thank you so much!
I love the idea of this Rach, so portable ( something you can just pick up and do anywhere) Ooohh... your special laces are divine 🥰 Where it is, is absolutely fine lovey... haha, yes, you could always tell when i had a big embroidery project on the go, i would have a hole in the pad of my right middle finger (that is the one i use to push the needle through) i too tried many thimbles, but they always felt really clumsy and awkward 😕 Yes, it would be great if Sarah and your mum did it too 😊 It could be like a "snippet sampler roll" with all different stitches, buttons applique bits, Suffolk puffs, hexagons, diamonds etc..... oh the ideas 🤔 😊 Sometimes i find it good to pause and hold your work upside down and let the thread and needle just hang for a couple of seconds and it will untwist and straighten out, and then you can continue without it bunching/twisting etc. I am definitely going to try this one lovey, shall try to take pics when i have done some and post on FB lovey xox 💖
Mum’ s started one it will be amazing! Thank you so much 😊
TFS! Love this and thank you for taking the time to show this lovely craft! My sister and I were very lucky that our mother taught us different types of sewing and embroidery. My sister works as a fashion designer in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and she is a beautiful seamstress. I still love to sew and embroider and remember everything that our mother taught us. Thanks again! 🇨🇦
Thank you so much 😊
Love watching your vid, I am in Brisbane hope u r stay safe in Italy!
Thank you so much!
Thanks Rachel loved this do much. Definitely will participate once I get a moment. Beautiful weather here in Queensland Australia. Lots and lots of butterflies. So beautiful 😍.
Sounds wonderful! How I would love to visit Oz! Thank you so much 😊
Great video - I hand stitched long time ago, thanks for reminding me.
I used to hand stitch all the time in appliqué and quilting. I am going to do this as well. We have to stay home until the 30th of this month or even longer. This will be fun🤗🤗🤗
I think we do too. Thank you so much 😊
Rachel, thank you SO MUCH for sharing Anne Brooke and her challenge! I've been so intimidated by decorative hand-stitching, but this project is so exciting I have to participate. A sampler roll is a brilliant idea. And it fits my 100 day project theme! My stato do thissh is small, but I've enough for a color theme. Ah, I'm so excited this! Thank youo!!!
That’s fantastic! Thank you so much 😊
The fabrics are so pretty & I really like the stitching on the circle. Hugs
Thank you so much 😊
I thoroughly enjoyed this video!!!! I use to embroidery YEARS ago and had forgotten the stitches but watch you is bringing it all back!!!! I love this idea and I certainly hope I can do this!!!! I have bad rheumatoid arthritis in my hands so probably won't be able to, but I'm going to give it a try!! Wish me luck!!!! And, now I am going to go see Anne's YT and see what she does!!!! I have never found your hand in the way....so don't worry about comments like that and no, I never find anything you do boring either so another thing to not worry about. If I don't, I am sure most of your loyal followers feel the same way!!!! Hugs, and take care of yourselves...I've heard Italy is suppose to be getting on the downslope of the virus....praying that's true!
It seems to be the case but we won’t all be allowed out quickly. Thank you so much 😊
you do lovely stitching...very neat and even...love it!
Thank you so much 😊
This is wonderful thank you Rachel!
Thank you so much!
I enjoy your hour long videos! Thank you for sharing. 😊
Thank you so much!
I learn something new every day.thank u Rachel x
Thank you so much 😊
I loved this idea so much I went and watched all of Anne’s videos too! I cannot wait to do this with you, I have to catch up. I told my daughter all about it and I think she is going to try it too. Chelle from the rambling crafter really encouraged me to watch your video and give it a try. Thank you for sharing this with us! 😊😊😊
It's super fun! Thank you so much!
Rachel I see the wool bundles I gave you!! So excited ,I love stiching like you!!!🌸🦋🌺🌼🐦❤
I thought some of the colours might work well! Thank you so much 😊
Pretty cool! I wish i had material to do this. Looks like so much fun.
Thank you so much 😊
My eyes were just popping out of my head looking at all your gorgeous fabrics and laces!!😍 I have a lovely bag of wool threads I got from an op shop, this might be the perfect evening project to do with them. Evening light not good for fine sewing anymore!🤓 Hope you Mum and Sarah do it, look forward to seeing the results.
Mum is making a start, Sas isn’t but she’s going to attempt to do the 100 day project. Thank you so much 😊
