- In this video, we'll talk about my favorite base fabrics to use in slow stitching projects as well as some alternatives that give body, texture and character to your projects. There are also some ideas about inexpensive options for a vintage look, when actual vintage materials are not available. We'll discuss creative sourcing and treasure hunting to get the results you desire.

Awe…. Really loved this video , thank you 🌸💕
Great ideas - thank you ❤️❤️
I found your channel today while searching slow stitching videos . While watching I kept thinking your voice was familiar… Omigosh I just figured it out! Thank you for sharing these fantastic suggestions 😊
Haha. Thanks for watching. I have one of my quilts coming up on an episode of YR in a couple of weeks. A gift from Sharon to Adam and Chelsea. It's a surprise when worlds collide.
@ Its been a couple of years but I’ll have to start watching again just to see it!
I have been a great love of you on “Young and Restless” and when I saw you years ago being a quilter I have tried to follow you! You are so special and have thought that when you were first on “Young and the Restless.”
Thank you. what a lovely message!
Beth, you have a way of making us all feel like personal friends, you have a gift.😘

Just subscribed! Love all the colors you use,I love pink & soft green too!
Thank you, neutrals and woolen suiting coming up in the new year projects so far.
Hello, Beth. I watched you on The Young and the Restless back in the 80's, maybe even in the late 70's. That was the only soap I even watched. Fast forward to 2024 and I find you slow stitching on TH-cam. Glorious. I've been slow stitching for a couple of years now and feel I have found my happy hobby place. I look forward to seeing more of your content.
Thank you. I'm teaching a slow stitch class tomorrow in a lovely beach town in the central coast of california at a gorgeous quilt shop. Love love love it and have a daily practice.
@@BethMaitlandDramaQueenBeeUnltd I live in SoCal. If you offer the class again, I would happily drive up to attend. Which shop?
@@majellamaas3996 It was at Roxanne's A Wish and A Dream. The shop is beautiful. Must see if you're in the area. I will be back to teach again in the spring. TBD.
@@BethMaitlandDramaQueenBeeUnltd I know that shop and was hoping that was your class setting. I love, love that store-the stuff of dreams. 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks Beth. These videos are most enjoyable. 👏👏👏
Great ideas. Love the encouragement.
Love this idea! I do handwork on my quilts, and so going to make some project bags with more vintage looks. And maybe some book covers. ❤️
Fantasic!!!
Beth those throws would make great sleeveless vests . Im in nz i buy op shops ( charity) shops and yes pillow cases are purfect ❤
Lucky! You seem to have fantastic op shop options down there!! Where I live, things are newer, cheaper, and not cared for, so not much in terms of vintage or wool. (it's California, so not too cold, lol) And I'm LOVING working with the matalasse the best, texture is fantastic. Thanks for saying hello!!!
TFS . Hope your week is going well . 😊😊🙏 🙏
Thanks!! 🙂
Great video, enjoyed it and subscribed , thank you 👍
Great ideas.
Thank you for sharing your tips and knowledge.
Thanks for saying hello.
Awesome
I’ve got to find some bargains like that!
easy to do...search Amazon for quilted throws, and sale section at TJMaxx type of home stores.
So beautiful. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this info, we don’t all have access to real vintage fabrics! Do you have a link to those quilts? Cheers from Australia
I did not include source links because they are not always available. I purchased the ones shown on Amazon.com. Cheaper to source locally to your country. In search, use 100% cotton and matalasse or quilt or coverlet as key words. Then pre wash items on hot and tumble dry for best shrinkage. I'm experimenting with coffee and tea dying small portions as well to add to the aged and vintage look. I'll perhaps do a video on that soon. Thanks for saying hello!!!!!

Thank you so much Beth that’s wonderful info. I will be looking forward to you tea and coffee dying video. 👏🏼😎
Hi Beth, I have a question that I am embarrassed to ask. What is slow stitching exactly?
It's a practice of doing hand sewing, embroidery and fabric collage, that is a meditation to relieve stress and slow down by putting work in your hands and just sewing. It is very popular as a way to schedule daily or weekly time for yourself as in a mindfulness practice. The covers of some of my videos are examples of my nearly daily handwork.
@@BethMaitlandDramaQueenBeeUnltd I love that, thank you so much.
I can’t get past the fact that you live somewhere it doesn’t get cold, nor has old things. 😮
haha. California central coast. yearly mean temp 76. and Ebay is another option for old. haha. xx
@ I’m in Northern California! (Recently moved up from the North Bay). Come on up and I’ll show you the best thrift stores 😉
@@kathyjohnson1911 my area is mostly agricultural, and therefore sort of transient...therefore, no great thrifting or many historical areas beyond missions. You're lucky! I may get up there one of these days.
