I am following K3N Cloth Tales' slow stitching project for 2026.
To get 52 pieces we are doing A to Z of stitching where the first week she chooses the theme and the second is a the community choice. I am making a slow stitch book where the 2 pages of each letter are front to back.
This week the community choice is Kintsugi - golden joinery. A Japanese tradition of putting broken vessels back together with gold and embracing the imperfect.
This is my put back together vase. I broke the vase then placed yellow fabric behind for it to show through the cracks. I stitched the vase pieces onto my linen page with turquoise running stitch. Then I put seed stitches in golden yellow in the cracks. I then added couching stitches along the edges to make the golden fix more prominent. My perspective on the table is a bit wonky. The edges of the vase are a bit wonky as well. I could have check my placement more often.
