Slow stitch thread caddy using an old pot holder

- Sharing my Roxy’s journal of Stitchery slow stitch thread caddy made from an old pot holder that I picked up at an op shop.
I love that the pot holder resembles a vintage quilt and in this video I share how I add slow stitching embellishments including hand quilting over the top of the machine quilting as well as yo-yos or Suffolk puffs, buttons, French laundry label and vintage ric rac from my much loved nanna.
I just love how cheery and sweet this has turned out from something that was otherwise headed for landfill! Reuse and upcycle makes me happy!

With thanks to Sarah @roxycreationsbysarah and Rachel @roxycreations679 for hosting this fabulous project and allowing us all to have such wonderful stitching adventures and share with other slow stitch lovers!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Cheers,
Christine

Great idea about Nannas travelling ric rac. Something that brings enjoyment such as slow stitching and the memories about your ancestors and also our own brought together into one piece.
Thank you Carrrol - I’ll be sure to follow through on it 🤗
You are magical, Christine! You can transform anything in something else! This little bag is adorable and so useful! The travelling ric rac is a wonderful and generous idea, a 'so you' idea! Thank you❤
Thanks Giusi - so kind 💙🧵🪡
Oh Christine what a cute idea. Darling. You are certainly having fun stitching today. Thank you for all your ideas. I've only been stitching since I found the Christmas Roxy's journal of stitching on You Tube. I didn't have a scrap of fabric and now I'm so excited I think three two or three years later sewing away. I love slow stitching. I used to sew when I was young but only on the machine. I have a degree in textile arts so I've done everything from weaving to basket making. But slow stitching has captured my heart. I taught school for thirty years . Retired and learned to knit and watercolor. So here I am at 73,making journals and slow stitching! Tomorrow I'm stating my nature book.
You are a real inspiration Pat and I am so thrilled that you love slow stitching as much as I do! Never stop in your creative exploration and I don’t plan to either. Look forward to seeing your Roxy project too. Cheers, Christine
And yes - great idea about your Nana’s ricrac!
Thanks - I will definitely folllow through with this little idea 🤗
Hi Christine, this turned out beautifully! I love how you can look at something and imagine it as something else, then, create it. I wish I had more of that talent! I think Nanna's traveling ric rac is a glorius idea and a good way to help further your memories of her and her sewing room. I hope you've had a pleasant weekend and will have a great week ahead! TFS 😊
Thank you dear Kim - you have lots of talent and also kindness xx
@@createandcraftwithchristine awe, you're too sweet! Thank you!
Traveling ric-rac sounds like a great idea.😊
Thanks Debra - will definitely follow through on this idea 💚
I thought this the perfect project to keep me company as I whip up a big batch of winter warming vegetable soup this afternoon! this is a great idea for beginner stitchers who may not have many materials yet and don’t know where to start. You are so inventive in reusing materials. 😊
I feel very lucky to keep you company while cooking as well as stitching 🤗 thank you for your kind words. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
Lovely little thread carrier. Such a great way to repurpose and reuse fabric.
Thanks Paula - I love repurposing 💙🧵🪡
Hello Christine, this little pouch is so sweet and practical. 👏🏼 You are right, the kitchen section in the op shops can hold some wonderful finds, I purchased an oval shaped placemat and stitched a really lovely pouch. Sometimes there are nice linen tea towels too. Your Nanna’s ric rac is lovely. I like the idea of travelling ric rac 😊 thanks for sharing. 🌻🦋💐
Well done on your op shop find Trish! 🤗 and I will definitely think through how to make my little nanna project happen 💙🧵🪡

Hey Christine, had house guests the past 6 weeks so was not able to watch TH-cam so I have a lot to catch up on . I see you have been very busy over the past several weeks . Woofs and belly rubs to Travis
Very happy to hear that all is good with you Joanne and it’s lovely to have you back. Hope you get some more relaxing, restorative time to yourself too now to stitch or craft. Trav is very appreciative for your belly rubs and wants you to know that he had a most wonderful day on Mornington peninsula today 🐾 cheers, Christine and Trav
Very clever! ❤

Christine, you’re on fire with all your projects. I’m almost stalled at present, nerve damage to my hands and feet thanks to Covid, everything is so painful. I’m hoping it will get better and that my crafting hasn’t been finished. I think you travelling ricrac idea is good.
Oh no Kathy I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been through such a tough time and have those lasting impacts. Hope you start feeling better very soon xx
Aww, I had long COVID, too. The struggle IS real! Hope the nerve damage heals itself soon.
@@rachellee.9389 thank you, it’s a horrible thing to experience, Im already challenged with five other chronic illnesses, but this is different, and I’m coming to terms with my new normal. A few extra hours of sleeping each day and shorter sessions of anything a little crafty, I’m just terribly grateful for my hubby who has become my hands and arms, lifting and carrying and much more.
@@kamahskreations1260 Like your hubbie, my adult daughter was my lifesaver - I wouldn't have eaten if she hadn't forced food on me. It makes me so mad when people say COVID was just a Chinese hoax. It's real!
@@rachellee.9389 so totally agree 😍
This is adorable. You do the full nest things. I have to go find d your button video❤
Thanks Judy - I’ve now linked to the earlier covered button video from the description below this video. Cheers, Christine
@@createandcraftwithchristine thanks so much
Such a sweet and useful project Christine, love it. Love the idea of your Nana's ric rac going out into the world and I feel very lucky to alrady have a piece of it (it's going to end up in my Vintage Stitchionary and I would love to know your Nana's name if that's ok so I can embroider it into my book. I think you must have inherited your generoisity of spirit from your grandparents Christine :)
Thank you Annie - my beautiful nanna’s name is Alice Clarke 💙🧵🪡
❤❤❤
Thanks Tess 🤗
I hate fast fashion with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns! I hate fashion that comes from the designers every quarter, too. It's almost as stupid a grass lawn: Growing it just so you can cut it.
You and I are very similar on both these fronts!
