2026 Slow Stitching Project - Page 37 - S1 - Sand, Sea, Sky, Sun, Sailboat, Seagulls

My piece for S1 of the K3N Cloth Tales Slow Stitch Project 2026.

K chose shisha stitch which did not work for me.

I chose Sand, Sea, Sky, Sun, Sailboat and Seagulls.

I started with a cotton foundation layer and I appliqued the Sky fabric then the Sea fabric then the Sand fabric.

The seed stitch in the sand took a long time. I mixed colors of embroidery thread in cream, ginger, and Sable.

I stitched waves in the Sea. 

I added a yellow Sun in the right hand corner with corresponding Sunrays.   I then cut out a red Sailboat with white Sails. A mast from dark brown, and a small red flag at the top.   I added three white Seagulls in the Sky.

Slow Stitching - June 2025 - Week 3

I continue with my Homes theme for June in this slow stitching project hosted my K3N Cloth Tales. 

I used the running stitch in blue thread along the western coast line to represent the Pacific Ocean. It would have been nice to have waves represented for the water but I found that was too complicated for me.

I added more trees in the north of the westerly province.

I added the log cabin in which I lived the first 4 years of my life. Dad worked in a sawmill and my Mom chose to be with him. Several kids were born during that time.

I am enjoying this piece.
