I completed the free motion stitching on my fiber book earlier this week. I added designs with several colors in the same color scheme as the fabrics. Some of the designs are really obvious, while others are more subtle. I like having part of the stitching more hidden so you really have to look for it to see it. I stitched hearts, flowers, and other floral design. I may go back and add more stitching later, but for now I'm done with this part. I also stitched all the pages into a book, so the order is set. Next I am going to add hand stitched details and maybe some beads or other embellishments. I hope that you are enjoying seeing the progress of this book.

I admire the different types of free motion stitching and the different textures that result. This is something I'm still trying to get right. I think sometimes we are most critical of our own efforts.

I am still trying to get my stitches perfected too. I try not to be perfect and concentrate on showing my artist hand instead of worrying about making perfect stitches. I love how personalized free motion stitching can make a piece of textile art.

I am a mother of five children from ages 21 to 5. I spend most of my time mothering and keeping house. In my free time I like to play with textiles, art journaling and painting. I have a degree in textile and apparel studies with a design focus. Right now I am more interested in fiber arts than apparel design, but I don't know where my journey will take me. Categories
