Pt1: Big slow stitch flower bowl for
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- Very excited by the Roxy’s Journal of Stitchery prompt for the month of June which is to create a slow stitch vessel or bowl. #Roxysjournslofstitchery
In this video I’m going to share with you a new idea for a flower shaped hexagon bowl or vessel featuring thread painted scenes from the famous Australia children’s book Snuggle Pot and Cuddlepie.
I’ve come up with my own idea for a shaoe that features a square shape and the base and then flares out from there using English paper pieces style hexagons. But the method I create my hexies is very easy and features a felt shape centre that makes it very easy to glue baste the hexagons.
It’s a joy thread painting the little gum it and settle clothed gumnut babies. I even try - for the first time - to read you some of the children’s book while I slow stitch.
Let me know how you think I went!
With thanks to Rachel @roxycreations679 and Sarah @roxycreationsbysarah for hosting this fabulous community and project.
I hope you enjoy following along with this idea and tutorial to make an easy slow stitch bowl, container or vessel.
Here’s a link to another slow stitch fabric container - this time a bowl made from pentagons:

OMG, the eggs, the ant babies, and poor Mr. Frog! Oh, the humanity!
Oh yes! I forgot the dark in this book from my childhood!
I feel very deprived as I was not read these stories as a child. How delightful. Thankyou ❤️
Thank you Sandy - very happy to share this piece of childhood memory 🤗
Wonderfully inspiring as always Christine. This story is one I remember reading as a child. I can remember a rainy winter morning before anyone else was awake, sitting up my cosy bed and delighting in the gumnut babies adventures. Thank you for the very poignant memory.❤❤
What a beautiful memory Sheryl. I remember as a child how much I loved loosing myself in books and I think it’s something I miss a little bit these days as I tend to stitch rather than read in my spare time. I’ll be sure to share another instalment to finish the story and finish the bowl 🤗
I adore this story! Yes keep reading.
Thanks so much Kim - I’m working on the next instalment for you all - it’ll be out in a few days time as I didn’t want you to miss the ending of the story. 💚
I loved your story very entertaining. Thanks Christine 😊🌸🌿
Thank you Vanessa - glad you enjoyed 🤗
Using the templates as a pattern brilliant
Thanks so much - glad it provided a useful idea for you🤗
I often read a book to my daughter,so I really enjoyed listening to your story and being on the other side😊 your new construction is so clever! You are amazing! Thank you ❤
I’m so happy Giusi that you enjoyed this little episode - there is something really beautiful about reading aloud and sharing stories 🤗
So so cute! Confession time - I never read Snugglepot and Cuddlepie. Listening to the start, I think I realise why! 😬 😂 I do remember laughing out loud as a little kid reading Ruth Park’s Muddle-headed Wombat, so now I am curious to reread that to find out what was so funny , or if it was something that just worked for kids. On the subject of childhood reading, I was actually completely obsessed with the Faraway Tree. Enid Blyton set my little mind racing with incredible ideas and faraway places. I visited May Gibbs’ home last year and loved seeing where she lived and worked. They used it as Magda’s home in Ladies in Black if anyone wants to see it. 😊
Oh yes, the Magic Faraway Tree was a favourite too. I dressed as Saucepan Man for one of my book weeks at school and Snugglepot got another one (I remember mum made a little gumnut hat out of crepe paper and I wore a tulle ballet skirt). How lovely that our stitching can being the memories back 💙
This was so much fun, definitely enjoyed the story with the stitching!❤
Thanks so much Megan - it’s lovely to have you here. Have a beautiful weekend. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
Thank you Christine for your video. I have to say I feel the pain ,poor Mr Frog and oh the birds eggs and ant babies 😥😥. Thank goodness for kindly Mr Lizard. What a knife edge of a story. Oh and by the way love the fabric😂
Thanks Carol! Definitely more than I remembered as a child!
A very pleasant video, very interesting and I enjoy, stitching along. Love it. Love your story and your bowl is so beautiful.
Thank you Hilde - glad you enjoyed it 🤗
Hi Christine, I absolutely loved hearing about the adventures of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie! I’m impressed with your multi tasking skills! Please share more. Your bowl is going to be quite beautiful! 🥰 Becca
Thank you dear Becca - I actually thought as I was sharing this that it would be something you would enjoy. I still remember you little world within a world for your garden path piece 💚 I’m working on the next instalment for you all - it’ll be out in a few days time as I didn’t want you to miss the ending of the story. 🤗
@@createandcraftwithchristine Ohh yay! I’m looking forward to it!
Hi Christine, I so adored this story! I'm over here screaming "you can't stop reading, don't leave me hangin" 😅 lol you take a rest and when you're ready we will be waitung to get lost in the bush with you again! Have a great weekend and lemon and honey can sooth your throat if it's hurting after all that reading. TFS 😊
Thanks Kim for the throat soothing suggestion - I think I’m out of practice reading aloud 😆 I’m working on the next instalment for you all - it’ll be out in a few days time as I didn’t want you to miss the ending of the story. 🤗
@createandcraftwithchristine thanks so much! Your voice is nice for listening to reading aloud. You'd make a good audio book reader! I'm plenty happy to wait for the next installment, and I hope the solution is helping your throat get better! Have a great day!
This is darling ❤️ your attention to detail is amazing 👏
Thanks so much Pam! 🤗
Just ordered a copy to my great grandsons.
What a lovely gift 🤗
K3n referred you to us! Very very cute! Love the book ❤❤❤❤
@@SandraPujari-Harrian oh how wonderful - welcome! I love K3N and am holding her in my thoughts with care and kindness 💛
The Snugglepot and Cuddlepie fabric is very cute, but I wonder why they all look slightly terrified! 😂
I love how the variagated thread creates dimension in the fabric design. I can’t wait to see how bowl turns out!
Haha it seems the world of snugglepot and cuddlepie is rather terrifying!
@@createandcraftwithchristine 🤣🤣
Loved the story
Thanks so much Rhonda - I’m working on the next instalment for you all - it’ll be out in a few days time as I didn’t want you to miss the ending of the story. 🤗
Of course I had to buy the book. I wish I could afford the fabric. Wonderful reading!!
Glad you enjoyed - I was actually thinking of you the other day. Are you still at the same postal address Robin? Cheers, Christine
@@createandcraftwithchristineYes, I am. Thanks for thinking of me.
Very cute I love it 🥰
Thank you Valita - I know you love your Australian flowers and Australian books 🤗
My first time of hearing about this book.... kidnapping, murder, and terror..... reminds me of the Brothers Grimm
Thanks for sharing. BTW your stitching looks lovely and a great idea for the challenge
Haha, I’d clearly blocked out the scary bits and just remembered the happy bits 😆
So cute
Thanks so much Carol 🤗
I so enjoyed your pentagon bowl I made three of them in different sizes so they sit inside each other. I plan to make two more larger ones, but all will be like the first three. I did adjust the sides so they would be a little tighter and am really excited with them. Thank you again for all the ideas!!💗
So happy the pentagon bowl has worked so well for you and how wonderful to have a nested set 🤗
I have that fabric and other styles too. I liked listening to the story.
Thank you - it’s really special fabric and I love how it looks with the thread painting 🤗
You’ve got to finish the story Christine … please …. Why you was busy reading I got on with my vessel and pleased to say after the late start I’ve finished it . I’m only making the one think the waste bin idea is a bit to ambitious for me at the moment xxx
Thanks Pat 🤗 I’m working on the next instalment for you all - it’ll be out in a few days time as I didn’t want you to miss the ending of the story. 💛
Creative way of putting the bowl together! ❤
Thanks dear Martha - hope you are resting and healing well 💛
@@createandcraftwithchristine thanks Christine - not happy about not being able to stitch 🙁
@@marthamanigross I wonder if there are other things you can do while you rest, maybe creating something for your future texture pieces that doesn’t use that hand?
@@createandcraftwithchristine great minds. I have done some punch needle but have to be careful with the other hand as well - and not hold the frame with my left hand. I’ve had arthritis in both thumbs for 20 years. It rears its ugly head now and then. I was crocheting some pieces but that also sets off the left thumb. 🙄
I can hear a lawn mowing going……. weekend mowing …..😊
Hahaha - an Aussie ear can always pick that up in the distance 😆 Somehow it always starts just when we start recording 😂
Hi Christine. Hope you are well. It’s been a little while since I’ve been over to see you. I’ve been busy and have just started my bowl. I hope I can get it finished before we start Vol.6. I have a Snugglepot and Cuddlepie book. I don’t know where I got it. I thought the names were so cute. I need to get it out and read it to my granddaughter. I love that fabric. It is just adorable. It’s going to be such a sweet bowl. You are a clever girl. I’ll try to come by for the next chapter of the story and to see how the bowl is coming along. Hugs ❤️🙂
Thanks dear Linda - I hope you’re having a wonderful time with your family. I’ll share the next instalment and finish of the story and stitching in a few days 🤗
Your bowl is going to look amazing. Yes please on the adventures of snugglepot and cuddlepie , throughly enjoyed the story. lol you forget how gruesome children’s books could be think this is why I’m liking the story no political correctness here. Poor Mr Frog, part of me wondered if maybe he was poison ness so killed the snake 🐍 and somehow hopped out. lol yep love children’s gruesome story’s. Thanks for the relaxing morning video.
Haha I think my childhood brain blocked the gruesome bits out 😆 but stay tuned for the next instalment of the story and stitch as you may just be pleasantly surprised at something that happens 💚
What a treat this Saturday morning! A cute story while stitching. A very lovely and humorous story. My 1st time learning about Snugglepot & Cuddlepie! Thank you Christine for multi-tasking, you’re gem! My childhood bedtime stories are of fairytales about winged magical creatures,gnomes, talking animals, etc. Ah, the innocence of childhood, makes for a magical time❤.
May you have a relaxed weekend and good time stitching.

Thanks dear Tess - I’m working on the next instalment for you all - it’ll be out in a few days time as I didn’t want you to miss the ending of the story. Loved hearing about your story time adventures from your childhood too 🤗
👍🧡
