It was very helpful that you used contrasting thread to demonstrate the initial base stitches, thank you. Can I suggest you keep half an emery board (or small, non-metallic, nail file) in your needlebook and with it you can remove burrs, or even sharpen you needle, in the middle of your work with that needle. I just love the boxes.
Hi Rita. This turned out gorgeous. You are one talented lady. You asked me in your last slow stitch video if I do it. I responded and then remembered you said you can’t see the responses. I used to watch this very popular lady whose name escapes me. She was making slow stitching thing that wraps around a spool 🧵. I bought got a book called A~Z of Embroidery Stitches. It’s for beginners to advanced. Bought threads and needles, materials. Then discovered junk journals and never tried it. I have used the threads in the journals. ( embroidery threads) You have inspired me to give it a go. I hope it doesn’t hurt my hands and wrists. Sometimes fussy cutting does. Have a lovely relaxing evening. 🌼🌼🌼
Yes, I know what you are talking about; it is like a snippet roll or scroll…I hope it doesn't hurt your hands, but since you can stitch a little at a time, it may not. Check out the stitcher I left in the description below. She has a video on a scroll, which is wonderful, and I don't think I could do that. Happy Stitching! 🪡💕🧵
@@ritajensen8311 Hi Rita, she has worked a lot...a lot for TH-cam!!!1200 videos!!! wowwww...he deserves to have many more subscribers!!! I will marathon your videos watching your beautiful creations!!! Thank you very much for sharing your talent!! a teacher!!!👍👍👍💜💜💜😊😊😊🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Hello Rita, I just love your Sunday Slow Stitching! I hope you plan to keep doing another project. I am interested in doing a scrapbook cover in a turtle or some other Hawaiian like slow stitch project. I just returned from a vacation with my two sisters. We had so much fun and I took alot of pictures to scrapbook but I want to do the cover first so I am doing some drawing to maybe come up with my own pattern. Thank you so much for your inspiration! I love your little baskets!
I absolutely love this !! You asked about whether people were interested in projects like this !!! YES 👍!! Live slow stitch things that are useful !! Don’t enjoy making it and then having nothing to do with the stitches item !! Well done Rita and thank you !! 🙏
hello Ms. Jensen, I found your channel and watched the slow stitch piece featured in this video. How wonderful and fairly simple it can be made. I learned alot. ThNk you for sharing
Thoroughly enjoyed watching. I do hope you will continue to share your stitching through videos. Looking forward to seeing another journal cover being created. You have given me a new appreciation for yellow buttons. I always avoided them in the past, but the pop of vibrant color is lovely. Have a peaceful Sunday. Best wishes~ Valerie.
hello Rita, I just found your channel I did subscribe. I love the way you explain everything so well .I've been stitching what seems forever.but I love the forgiveness that slow stitching gives us. Look forward tomore projects
Oh oh oh!!! How beautiful & what a wonderful creative idea!! I LOVE this!!! Thank you for sharing your God-given talent. I’m so thrilled this tutorial popped up!!
Good morning Rita, it’s so awesome how hand stitching is making a revival again. Creating handstitched pieces or stitching on vintage table linens brings me such joy. I find it very comforting stitching on wool as a backing and am currently stitching a vintage doily on a wool blanket piece to create a fabric vessel/bowl. New subscriber and fellow TH-camr from Canada… Kathleen💕🪡🧵🎉🇨🇦
Thank you for subscribing to my channel! I absolutely adore all the stitching you do; it's fabulous. I hope everyone gets a chance to see your work! 🧵🪡🧵
Hi Miss Rita. I sure enjoy your videos re stitching & junk journals. I make quilt tops, but don't call myself a quilter. I've been a sewist since about age 12-ish. Many moons ago. I am currently making over 60 needlebooks for my quilt guild retreat in July. I love making them. I took the plunge into junk journals a couple of years ago & love researching & collecting various antique/vintage goodies. I noticed you have a cloth sewist journal that you pulled and would love to see a flip through of it if you haven't already done a video. Apologies, as I have not had time to search your videos re this. Sherry McConnell, Moda designer, featured on her TH-cam channel a needlebook I made for her if you're interested. Hugs. Sew On & Sew Forth! Pam in LV.
This is my first slow stich project and it was so fun! Not exactly easy for me but I got it done and I'm very pleaed with how it came out. Thank you so much for the detailed explanations on this. It made it a lot easier than some of the other youtuber's I've watched.♥ I think I'm hooked on slow stitching 😊
This has been such a fun and easy project with beautiful results! Thanks so much for sharing this with us! I'm going to be making a few of these for random holders and for gifts. ♥
This box is 5” x 5”, and I have not made one any larger…there is a playlist in my channel for Sunday Slow stitching! th-cam.com/play/PLQOUbN8ZjhPRj-eeZXsuRNzvHexKkGLNg.html&si=sX0bNBuu9mmE1bWj
Beautiful. I will try it myself. I have some slow stitch fabrics lying around and am going to make them into a basket. It's a clear video so it should work👍🧡
Thanks, Sharon, for all your comments about stitching the boxes! I have a playlist for Sunday stitching, so you can check those out. I am new to filming slow-stitching, so I hope you find something there! Hope that helps…🧵💕🪡
These are just fabulous! You are so talented! I love the colors on this one. I’ve started one and I’m hooked. I found a lady selling all her embroidery floss on fb marketplace and I got it. Now to learn all those stitches. Thanks for sharing. 😊
I'm new to your channel so this is my first video. I still have to look around but I'd love to see you make one of these squares start to finish. I'll look around your channel after this video and see if I find something like that. I'm new to slow stitching and I love the idea of making the boxes. I like natural things and would rather have those than store bought.
I just found your channel. I just love your work. So Beautiful ! And love the little boxes. Thank you for sharing your beautiful and amazing work. I plan to keep watching your lovely work. I’m from south Texas ,retired teacher.
I am sorry I probably didn't add a link. So, these three are the ladies who inspired me! @K3N Clothtales, @To be loved treasures by Corrine, @Roxy’s creations…I hope this helps. Thank you for watching! 🤗
Sorry, I showed them better in my first video of this series if you would like to see them better: th-cam.com/video/kgtyPBiyN1k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-LF-kYxFx7fvCdbf I hope you like this! 💕🌸💕
Hi Jan, I have three videos showing how to make these boxes. It would take too long to make from start to finish in one video. Here are the links to the others. I hope they work for you, and thanks for watching🤗 th-cam.com/video/cXIjU3Q1Lzg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ky38t-gaLbwnPmnt th-cam.com/video/E4gr2jBQJFQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CTnLy9jjQY4g1ERc. th-cam.com/video/wew9ZH9u6L8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QGXp9t40dG_U5TYt
At the end you mentioned felt. Are the panels made up of a sandwich of muslin with felt between? Is the felt cut short of the muslin? Thanks! I enjoyed this video and would like to create a box of my own.
Yes, it is layered Muslin, felt, or batting, and your decorated piece. They are all the same size as your finished slow stitch, then when you see them around all the edges, the felt or batting will nearly show! I hope this helps! 🤗
Thanks for sharing I love you box of quilts ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! 🤗

I use a craft felt from Hobby Lobby or Walmart, and you could also use quilt batting or felted wool. Thanks for watching! 🤗
could you do a full video on making these boxes please?
Hi Jan, I have three videos showing how to make these boxes. It would take too long to make from start to finish in one video. Here are the links to the others. I hope they work for you, and thanks for watching🤗

At the end you mentioned felt. Are the panels made up of a sandwich of muslin with felt between? Is the felt cut short of the muslin? Thanks! I enjoyed this video and would like to create a box of my own.
Yes, it is layered Muslin, felt, or batting, and your decorated piece. They are all the same size as your finished slow stitch, then when you see them around all the edges, the felt or batting will nearly show! I hope this helps! 🤗
I feel like I should add the bottom first to each side. I know I’m wrong but it seems easier for me.
Nothing is ever wrong as long as you achieve your goals! This is just the way I found it to work for me. Thank you for watching and commenting.🧵💕✂️
