Beautiful. Lovely. Stunning.
Thank you so much! I'm very happy that you like it, thanks for watching :)
Wow your book is awesome. I really like it. Such a charming piece. Gave me so many ideas. Thank you for sharing!😊
Thanks so much! 😊I'm really happy you enjoyed it, thank you for watching :)
Beautiful work, I would like to see slower version of the flip through to show more of your unique details and designs. Wonderful work 👍.
Thank you so much! I thought maybe I was going too slow already, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)
You really do use all your bits and bobs this book is amazing
Thank you so much Diane - yes, slow stitching is an excellent excuse to never throw any scraps and doodads away, no matter how tiny! :)
Lovely and very inspirational! ❤
Thank you so much! this was so much fun and so relaxing to do, I relaly enjoyed this project :)
Love these books. I’ve just discovered these fabric books and they are very addictive and relaxing to make. Each page and the stitching are so meditative. Your book is fabulous!
Wow!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤ Loving this😊😊
Thank you!! That's very kind of you, it was such a pleasure to create this, one of my first adventures into slow-stitching :)
So beautiful..I have a bit of vertigo and felt dizzy when you moved the book and your hands around so I had to move it along
This is a work of art. More cuddly than a teddy. Beautiful, fabulous, gorgeous, I love it ❤❤
I am a very new crafter to slow stitching and have been too careful with being too neat and perfect, so happy to see that being perfect is not what this craft is all about. Great ideas to get me so excited, many thanks.
Go fo it, Kay! Slow stitching is definitely not about perfect for me - I think some of my "proper embroiderer" friends would have to not look too closely at my stitching :) For me, it's like playing, just doodling with a needle and thread. It doesn't have to cost much to do either, you can use up little pieces of old fabric and buttons and things you've got stashed away. Maybe just try something small, like a needle book for instance, as a first project. Recommend Roxy's Creations here on You Tube if you haven't checked out her channel already. Have fun and thank you for watching :)
Ну Вы художница:) я увидела мини картинки , благодаря Вашему дару и умению:) сколько фантазии , любви:):) у Вас золотые руки:) спасибо, будьте здоровы удачи
Большое спасибо за добрые слова :)
Oh Annie!! Your book is incredible. Absolutely gorgeous from the belly band to the sweet cross-stitch on the back cover. I loved listening to the stories and meaning behind your treasures and especially how addictive and enjoyable you found the project. Each time you turned the page I though "that's my favourite" until you turned to the next one. But I think my absolute favourite is the navy, white & yellow heart and pocket spread or maybe the weaving one... I'm just watching it a second time. I'm so happy to have inspired you and hope you do try the other challenges. Oh you've really made me want to do some more stitching, maybe even make another book. Thank you so much for making lots of videos that show all your creative talents. I love them!
Oh thank you so much, it means such a lot to me that you like it - the day I stumbled across your channel sent me off on a very long but very enjoyable journey, so thank you for sharing your inspiring work. The best thing about You Tube, or the internet in general for me, is the way we can connect and share ideas with people we'd never have met otherwise, and be inspired to try things we'd never have thought of :)
Lovely work!
Thank you so much Claudia 😀
Энни, с удовольствием посмотрела ваше видео. Честно говоря, я не совсем понимаю предназначение данного изделия, но ваша книга 📚 очень красивая, яркая . В ней множество расцветок, красивых кружев, разнообразие стежков. Я подробно рассмотрела каждую страничку книги. Спасибо вам за красоту!
Большое вам спасибо, на самом деле это не имеет никакого смысла, это просто способ использовать красивые вещи и наслаждаться медленным сшиванием для расслабления :)
@@artyfartyannie Ещё раз спасибо, уже несколько раз пересмотрела ваше видео и каждый раз замечаю что-то новое.
Beautiful book, a great way to display your stitch work.❤❤
Annie, your book is absolutely charming! Thank you for sharing it. I am currently taking part in Anne’s 52 tags project - which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed - but will look back at her sew for the soul book videos for when the tags finish. I’d love to produce a book as lovely as yours for my next project! You’re absolutely right, there’s something about hand sewing that is very calming and you can get lost in the process of doing something ‘just because’ - I call it “metime” and after retiring last year, don’t feel the least bit guilty in doing something just for the sake of it, instead of because I ought to or should do - it just makes me happy! Keep sewing 😊
Thank you Nikki, yes Anne definitely hit on something which appeals to so many of us for the reasons you describe, and I love her inspiring ideas and style of teaching. It's also such a good way to enjoy those lovely bits and bobs we all have squirrelled away but not sure what to do with. Keep on enjoying your sewing for enjoyment's sake, that's what retirement is for I say! :) I have an idea brewing for my own slow sewing boho style with the gorgeous recycled treasures I got from Bazaar - watch this space, I might call it boho slow sew :D
This is absolutely amazing. It is incredible art! Thank you for sharing it.
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed it - I have more in the pipeline, so watch this space :)
Your book is a real work of art. Just beautiful 😍
Thanks so much Suzanne, that's very kind of you 😊
Beautiful
The wrap on your book is gorgeous. Nice book. I did it too and loved it. I also did the tags, the tag roulette, the little Christmas book, I think that was all of Ann’s that I did. And other things since. Well done. I found your channel via Suzieq and the whatnot.
Howdy, Annie! What a treasure this slow stitch book is! So rich in color and texture... and bits of memories, too. I'll have to check out those channels! I am quite new to this slow stitching journal idea and I would love to learn all those different lovely stitches. Thank you so much for the share. Blessings & Bubbles...oooOOO
Hey Patty, thank you so much, I'm glad you like it and I'm sure you're going to make some fabulous slow-stitched pieces. There are so many inspiring videos on here to get you going - I'll look forward to seeing your stitched creations :)
I love every page and the colours and stitching, I’ve made one as well but not good at showing it. So therapeutic. Thank you for sharing🙏
Thank you so much Fay! Yes, it's so calming isn't it?
Omg, what a wonderful piece of art.
Thank you Dawn, I'm glad you like it - you should see some of the other Sew 4 the Soul creations,I was blown away! Anne Brookes has put together some videos on her channel showcasing some of them, well worth checking out if you haven't already.
absolutely beautiful! tfs! 😊
Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much Norma Jean, I'm really glad you like it! :)
Wow! It's a beautiful book!
Thank you! It was so enjoyable to make and a great excuse to use some of my hoarded treasures :)

Lindo!!!!! (amazing)🌼
Thank you! 😊
Very very beautiful. ❤️
Thank you! 😊
So pretty
Thank you so much, I really enjoyed this project :)
Your “bullet stitch” is in fact called “pistil stitch”, as in the pistils in a flower, not pistol as in gun.
I started my book 3 or more years ago (also late to the party), and put it away unfinished at the negative and positive circles page when life got in the way. I brought it out again last night and wanted a refresher and inspiration, and serendipitously found your video. I love every single page, and I can’t wait to get going again and finish mine.
hehe yes I realised that a while after I'd made this video - I can see where my mind was going though. It's still one of my favourite stitches now, and I use it a lot. I'm so happy you've got back to your book Frances, please do share some pics and tag me, I'd love to see :)
That is just gorgeous, I think I may attempt one. I could use it as a reference and inspiration for future projects. The round things that look like scrunchies, what are they called? I could use these as a coral feature in an aquatic panel I am creating.
Hey Johnny, thanks very much, glad you like it. I think you should definitely give it a go and it would be a great way to experiment with ideas for future projects, it would be almost like a swatch book. The round things are called "Suffolk Puffs" - there are probably loads of vids on YT about them. They're really cook aren't they, very easy to make and you can make them neat or leave frayed edges, add contrast middles, all sorts - and I agree, they could definitely look like coral, or barnacles or even suckers on tentacles!
Very nice .how you connect the fabric pages between?
Thank you - this was a while ago so I can't exactly remember, but I was following along with Anne Brooke's Sew4TheSoul Book, so I think I did it the same way she did - you'll easily find her on CZcams, look for her Sew4TheSoul playlist. Also I'll be putting together similar books for my Treasury of Swaps, so look out for those coming soon, I'll be making a start on them this week :)
