I am making a Stitch Book which will hold a sample of stitches as well as any techniques I would like to record as a reference. I chose a piece of white linen for my background and a piece of thin cotton for my foundation layer.
The pages are ripped 8 inches wide by 7 inches tall. The inch on the left is being left clean for the binding at the end to make it a book. I tack the pages together so that I will have 26 double sided pages at the end.
I don't know how that will mesh with the prompts that K3N provides but we will see how it goes.
K3N's plans is to provide prompts based from A to Z. One week she will provide the 1st letter prompt and the second week she will pick from the suggestions in the comments of the first video for that letter.
The first prompt which I am labeling A1 is applique. Not surprising at all. I have added it to my piece as well.
I invisible basted my linen and cotton together. Then I selected for small pieces of fabric from my stash to highlight the 4 stitches I had selected for applique.
Top Left - Couching Stitch Middle - Overcast Stitch
Bottom Left - Blanket Stitch Top Right - Fly Stitch
The butterfly is a more realistic expression of what applique would look like on a project. I had cut several extra butterflies for my cards last week so it was just sitting on my workspace so it was selected.
I chose the couching stitch to applique the butterfly.
There are some interesting suggestion for the second A prompt in the comments. Will be interesting to see which one is chosen.
