i just ordered a kit from textile evolution.....I can't wait!! your laundry basket filled with squares that represent the peaceful moments spent just sent me to the moon and back. I am looking so forward to enjoying slow stitching this way. i am a quilter ....25+ years but all my scraps were given away to a group that teaches newbies in quilting....plenty of yardage too. A lifetime of collecting now will make another generation of creatives. I surely hope!! Your videos are so fun. thank you thank you....

Hello Liz, I have just enjoyed your video and am going to try this stitch meditation for myself. I'm recovering from serious illness and have found traditional meditation irritating. I'm not good at it at all. Thank you for sharing this idea. I have done most kinds of needlecraft and do enjoy them especially embroidery but my stitching always had a purpose and an end product that always needed to be as perfect as I could make it. Love Vera in Northern Ireland ❤

Hi Vera, Stitch Meditation has been a vital part of my healing and I hope you find the same benefits. The most difficult part for most people is letting go of the idea of usefulness and perfection. I know I have to be very careful about perfection as it loves to tempt me back to it's clutches. If you are on Facebook I have a Stitch Meditation group and I just started a 100 day Stitch Meditation challenge. They are both free and everyone is welcome.

Hi Liz, I I'm so glad I found your channel, I'm going through bit of a tough time mentally at the moment. I do try to meditate for 10 mins a day, but I'm not always consistent. I've been cross stitching for many years, which is great, but I do have to unpick stitches sometimes. I have tried slow stitching with scraps of fabric, but I plan too much ,pick out every stitch that isn't perfect, then end up discarding it. I'm going to stitch a long piece that I can add to each day. I started it this morning, and was surprised to see half an hour had passed, I thought it was a few minutes! I didn't unpick any wonky stitches! 😁 It's VERY calming. Thankyou so much for this video, I think it will help a lot of people.

@@Textileevolution yes I intend to, thank you. I too find it difficult to meditate. I have been slow stitching for a little while but there is usually activity around me. Your pieces are beautiful. They are simple but capture that moment’s quiet narrative. I have so many wonderful fabrics. I love the colours and designs, but I balk at cutting them up because I fear I won’t do them justice. Stitching just for the sake of stitching gives me permission to create without worrying about the end product. That resonates with me. Again, thank you 😊

Mine are 4" square which is 10.16 cm. Your size doesn't have to be the same but if it is too large they become a project which we are trying to avoid in order to be in creative flow.

I have started stressing watching this. I am not comfortable with frayed edges. they bring out a lot of emotional remembrances for me .I have fought to adapt to doing something that goes against my comfort zone ,just to fit in with sewing world as the frayed look is rife .and I feel only failure because I hate it.

@Textileevolution 26 күн бұрын

Jan, this practice is meant to bring peace and mindfulness. There isn't any reason to use frayed fabrics if they don't add to your peace and mindfulness. Make it work for you. Maybe you would enjoy stitching on a larger piece of fabric over many days that you have prepared in advance with the edges turned under.
