| My first sampler of SLOW STITCH |
A new inspiration! I acquired a beautiful new book called SLOW STITCH by Claire Wellesley Smith. It was actually first published in 2015. Slow Stitch is a new name for a simple running stitch. It is a stitch that one does carefully and with time for contemplation. Our busy lives enjoy a break of time for thought and concentration so this is an ideal way to stitch for anyone who loves fabric and cloth and needs a break from a hectic program.
There are many trails you can follow with Slow Stitch. It lends itself to a large variety of ideas. The introduction of various coloured threads adds a great deal to the finished result. This is one of the first samplers I tried. The cotton fabric has a very faint print of eucalypt leaves on it. Squinting your eyes will make them become more obvious.
