Best of my favorites, sewing and journaling. Thank you for sharing your ideas
Hi and hugs Gayle. It’s 2am here in Sydney Australia and I was binge watching your older videos because I couldn’t sleep. I was so happy your scrappy Saturday video popped up. I am a quilter so I love it when you work with fabric.
I am a quilter too so I love the scrappy collage also.
@@catherinelittle2118 I would like to iron all her pieces though, isn’t that a quilter “thing”. Lol
Yes Stacey, I try to always overlook the big folds and creases in the fabric. I would be ironing for sure. I always have my small iron by the machine. But, whatever helps people have fun and brings joy is more important. It wouldn't work for a quilt, though. At least not for me. LoL.
@@catherinelittle2118 yes, I have small iron and woollen ironing pad. You are right though, whatever works for the person doing all the work. Still, the work is beautiful.
Hi Gayle, I enjoyed watching your video . Thanks for sharing. 🌸🌺🌸
Hi Gayle! Thank you for sharing all your ideas these are so pretty! I was also so glad to see you on 49 dragonflies video answering questions! You are always such an inspiration to me!
Some of my most favorite videos that you’ve done are your collage videos. They are so peaceful to watch. Maybe because you create order out of chaos or develop patterns within all the colored prints and shapes. Your covers are amazing. I can’t wait to see them after you finish them. I know you will have a great time. 🤗
Hi Gale! Thank u fot tgis wonderful videow on slow-,stitching,!!💜
I just love watching you work! I save everything and you are showing me how to enjoy my stuff😁
I LOVE the long piece of lace that you put on the center of the first cover, so pretty!!!! Enjoy your time with family!!💕
Love this, Gale! I really need to start slow stitching.
I admire everyone who has the patience to slow stitch! 🙌 The covers look amazing, Gayle! Wishing you lots of fun at the retreat and with your family! 💕
Good Morning Gayle! I hope you are having a wonderful time with the family. I am always so inspired by the way you put together color and patterns. Just beautiful 💕
Morning Amy! ❤️
Loved seeing your process for this Gayle, looking forward to seeing your stitching ❤️
Loved these. I definitely liked the collage cover best because almost everything I do for myself is vintage or shabby chic, but I have people on my gift list who will love the more colorful strips. Great to have choices! Enjoy your retreat and the play. What a talented family you have!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The first cover simply stunning!!!!!!!! My favourite!!! Thank you and hugs from sunset time in Tuscany!!!!
I think these will be beautiful! I loved watching g your collaboration video with Barbara and Joi. Tba k you. Hugs
The shabby chic cover & it's coordinating belly band...gorgeous!! The "Blue" one is gorgeous as well; another stunningly beautiful journal waiting in the wings...keeping my eyes peeled!! LOVE & HUGS 🤗❤🤗
Enjoyed glancing up to see you marrying fabrics! It's inspiring and helps me when I go to marry papers. I've stamped and am now fussy cutting heaps of marshmallows that will go with cocoa cups either on tags or cards.
Oh, my gosh. Both of these are sooo cute. Great covers. Feeling so inspired. That’s what you do so well- inspire!
So fun! I enjoyed watching you place your fabrics and lace. It’s one of my favorite things to do. 💕👍🏻😊
Hi Gayle 🥰
I'm in love the the collage flower and lace cover, it is gorgeous and I can't wait to see it finished. Hope you have a awesome weekend, take care! 💜
You inspire me. I wanna run upstairs to the creation station and get busy. Enjoy the retreat. Hugs
Beautiful cover! Such great ideas are rolling around in my head! Thank you!
The first one was the most beautiful cover you ever made.
Thanks for sharing and have fun at the retreat and the play!
Happy Scrappy - I'll be looking for shabby chic journal videos in the spring with that beautiful cover - Hugs.
I can't wait to see these finished! You make me want to stitch...even though I've always been a self-proclaimed Glue Master. 😊💜
I love to watch you work, and see how things come together. I loves the shabby one. That is my style. You just have a great eye for color.
Thank you, Leslie! ❤️
Hi Gayle, I’m so happy that you are doing this video, I’ve really wanted to make this type of cover, but had no idea of how to do it. Thanks again… and your nails are soooo pretty. 💕💕💕💕
Hi Gayle! Trust me, you are doing a very relaxing video and I am truly enjoying it!🥰 Loving the outcome!👏🏻❤️
I love that layer cake fabric bundle!
You have such a lovely mix of fabrics.💕
Can’t wait to see how these treasures turn out.
This is my jam! I love that fabric with the writing on it! A stencil? The edge on fabric is called the selvage..I save those to make strip stuff 😀 Lace right side is raised so run your fingers over it.😘 and if you bleed on it ,your own saliva will remove it ! Lol
Happy stitching and visiting ❤😊 ps there is no t in across 😉🧙 ...sorry grammar constable hahaha
I got such a good laugh on this one Gayle. I was watching late in the day and was watching you pick out the pastel fabrics...the next thing I knew you were working with the bright colors. 💤 So I went back to where I “dropped off” and it’s where you said (paraphrased) “this is so quiet I don’t blame you if you fall asleep”! 🤣😂. The cover will be so shabbily beautiful! ❤️🥰
Good Morning Gayle! Happy Scrappy Saturday and slow stitching; like how you coordinate your fabric together. Enjoyed your video this morning too! Have a great weekend! 👍🍁🍁🍁
Morning Pat! ❤️
Good morning sweetie! Just watched your pod cast! Thanks for sharing that with us! Blessings this Weekend! Have a wonderful retreat! 💕
Morning Tanna! ❤️
Gayle you do beautiful crafting love watching your videos your so creative
They’re going to be gorgeous journal covers Gayle!!! I hope you enjoy your retreat (sorry you may have already been lol). What a relaxing task to take with you!!! TFS!!! Hugs, Sharon 🌷💕
Gayle: looking forward to seeing the outcome of this creative process.
Saw the podcast of the three of you. Really good! Carol from California
Wow!! this was fun and so inspirational...now i need to organize my scraps .. lol! TYSMFS 😊
Beautiful fabric thank you
This reminds me of doing a 🧩 puzzle 😀
How you can change from all the beautiful Christmas journals (more than one at a time) and now be doing all kinds of journal covers and ephemeral elements is just amazing to me. All of these are so beautiful. I’m excited to see that children’s journal comes about. I have a large size illustrated Charlotte web that I would like to follow along with you with that project. this has been so fun thank you. Thanks for all you share.
Good Morning Gayle! 🌹
Morning Ess! ❤️
I need to try this just not sure I have the patience for it. Driving to Utah for Christmas maybe I'll give this a try on the road trip 🤔
These pieced covers are some of my favorites. I love fabric. This is so pretty Gayle. Love all the adorable pink roses. I was wondering how many threads you use when you slow stitch?
I split the thread in two and use three threads to stitch with. 😁❤️
Do you recall where you purchased the tiny rose fabric that you put up the right side of the piece that you started with in this video? I just love that and the companions to it and would love to purchase it. Loved the video and will look forward to seeing the finished product!!
Those scraps were from my quilter friend, so I do t know where they came from. So sorry! ❤️
Good afternoon Gayle x
Good morning, Karen! ❤️
Pretty pretty everywhere xxx
I like quiet 😀
I'm back! After watching the above video, along the right side of the screen I noticed another video where you were making covers. It was March 31, 2018. I watched it also. Both were very inspirational! Now I'm wondering something. I have in mind a cover to make for a journal that I am planning. I was thinking I would use an Amazon bubble envelope since I'd seen you do that in a video. Now I'm wondering for a sort of beginner, if it would be best to use a bubble envelope or the manila envelope. Which would you recommend that would be a better choice for me to do. I think I could do either if I keep your video close by so I can reference them as I go. Thank you, Gayle.
I think you could do either, Janice. The process is exactly the same, so it comes down to what feel you’d like for your cover. The Amazon envelopes make a puffier cover with more crackle. You’ve totally got this, my friend! ❤️
@@gayleagostinelli_ct Thank you. The crackle of the Amazon envelope is what drew me to that idea for it to be my choice. I think I have enough material for the cover and inside that if I goof up one, I can try the other! Thank you for the encouragement!
Good Morning! What would we do without scraps!
Morning Kath! ❤️
Hello, that was different. It's funny though. I was just thinking about doing the same thing. I really like different things. I do want to know, were did you find the mini dollies? I would love to get some. Thanks Adrienne
I’m not quite sure which mini doilies you are talking about, but try Etsy. You can find almost anything we create with on Etsy. 😁❤️
I've haven't tried a fabric cover yet. Have you got tutorials, Gayle? 🙂
Yes! I have a playlist called Journal Cover Series that has lots of tutorials in covers, fabric and otherwise! 😁❤️
I am very confused. I have no idea what you are going to do now. After the placement of all of these beautiful fabric pieces, do you hand stitch? Machine sew? Hand stitch the top, then machine sew a piece on the back for a liner? I’m sorry. I’m new to this and I want to make a journal cover like this, but since I’m not a sewer I don’t know what to do next.
Yes, I will hand stitch. As it was explained to me, slow stitch is embroidery without a hoop. If you search Gayle Agostinelli Slow Stitch, some videos should come up that will help you see the process more fully. Hope that helps! ❤️
I've just spent time these past few days searching for a video showing exactly what you're doing here. I should have known better, if your looking for 'How to' information on anything Journal related, then go and spend some time with Gayle and you'll find everything you need to know and more besides.
Thanks so much, Jacqui! I’m so glad it was helpful! Big hugs to you! ❤️
@@gayleagostinelli_ct . Thank you Gayle. I've just been watching a few of your other videos on Slow Stitching, looking forward to having a go myself.
💜💜💜
Hope your family are well and your new puppy Jimmy jo will be taking you a a walk you should do A gernal about Jimmy jo life and published it gut and idea but a different twist hope it will be a good ideas xx
I have a Jimmy Joe playlist in my channel. There is a video Update from over a year ago. We no longer have Jimmy Joe. 🥺

❄️❤️☃️🇨🇦
Maybe a strip of lace across the top to disguise the height difference??? Just a thought.
5+ minutes of moving fabrics around. Stopped watching
Enjoyed your video and love the great variety of scraps at your disposal. Something I’ve been meaning to do and is on my to do list. Tfs
I was mesmerized watching you do this!!! You also have a large selection of fabrics and lace to choose from......something else to add to my crafting needs!!! Thanks for sharing your process!! Really enjoyed this video and can't wait to see the final outcome!!
Love today’s video. Something about working with fabric is so relaxing. 💕
aww mannnnnnn now I have to try this !!!! so pretty ... x Amanda
The fabrics are pretty and your stitching will make them look even more so. Hope your retreat is fun!
Don’t worry about being quiet Gayle, it’s a nice change from some other videos. It’s meditative watching you, so inspiring. Thank you 🇳🇿😀
I think your next merch line needs to be "Scrappy Saturday!" I'd spring for a t-shirt with that on it, so I could wear it to our crafting group's crops, held one Saturday a month.
How fun that would be 😊
I love both covers! Maybe a touch of lace to tone down the brights? I'm sorry, I'm nor trying to tell you how to do you lol, just wanted to share my vision. Ok, I'll be quiet now lol. Hugs....
Absolutely beautiful shabby chic cover. Can you do a video on how to turn this into a journal cover? I’ve checked your other videos but they all seem to be for paper journal covers. Thank you .
Hi Gayle you are so funny at times I could listen to you all day. I to go to a quitters retreat and they keep there scraps for me. I think we could be good pals keep on crafting Angela Scotland xx
I am just getting into slow stitching and love love love it! Is there a group that does fabric swaps? I think it would be fun, where we get different fabrics than what we have.
I really like the bright striped one best because pastels are not as appealing to me. Everyone will have a preference. They both are beautiful.
❤️
God Bless you! Fun tutorial.
So pretty!
Beautiful fabric
Beautiful Gayle. I hope you have a wonderful time at your retreat. Hugs, Amy💕
Quiet video but it's still interesting to me!!!
I am a quilter and I get what you are doing! But I am slowly making myself a quilting journal. I’m making it ring bound, and I like the idea of slow stitch for the covers. I also did cross stitch for 25 years, so slow stitch appeals to me because of that.
Thank you for sharing now I’m going to give it a go
Fun video for sure 😊 thank you xx
Where did you get the fabric? I love it!
I love those journal covers. Makes me want to get some slow stitching ready to do. Don't overdo it Gayle, you don't want to aggravate your hand!
Can't wait to see your completion on that first cover you did. It was gorgeous! Have a good time at your retreat!!
Your covers and bellyband are going to be so very lovely!! Can't wait to see them finished!! Have fun at the retreat and at your grandson's play!! TFS Gayle!! Hugs, Liz:)
I’ve been looking all over for the vintage fabric like you use with people and ladies with hats, writing on the fabric, where can I find some. Thank you❤️
I got them on Etsy years ago. I don’t remember the shop, but you might find something with the search “fabric strips”. ❤
You have a good amount of beautiful fabrics to choose from! Have a great time on your retreat! Xo
These are adorable
Fun to watch! 😃
So pretty
🌸🌼💗💗🌼🌸
Happy Saturday Gayle! Have a great weekend xoxo hugs

Lovely! I've machine sewn strips diagonally across a 10"X18" fabric then sewn lace over the seams. Then folded in half and sewn up sides to make a bag to tie on walkers for the nursing home. They're fun and easy! I never thought to make them into journal covers but I will now! Thanks for the inspiration! 🤗
Georgous journal covers!!! 💞Namesta🐞🕉️
I enjoyed watching you design the 2 journal covers! Will be excited to see them after you do the slow stitching. Your being quiet doesn't bother me. You have to concentrate on what you want to do next. I don't mind it when you are a chatterbox, either. I like listening to you and your daily activities you are involved in, family, etc. Your videos make my day!
Watched your combo video with Barbara and Joie yesterday. I bet that was fun. Good questions, great answers. I found out I’m not the only one that feels OCD about including 3 and 5 elements on my spreads! I subscribed and listen to all 3 of your channels regularly. It was a treat to hear you together. Barbara also had a fun gelli printing session with Luise Heinzl recently. We live in such amazing times. People in Austria, England, and the US all able to get together, create a video, share ideas and solutions all in real time. The future they told us about when I was a kid has arrived.
