- Very excited by the Roxy’s Journal of Stitchery prompt for the month of June which is to create a slow stitch vessel or bowl.
The version I’m going to share with you is very easy to make from little scraps of fabric on a felt or blanket base, and to decorate with simple slow stitching stitches.
My piece is inspired by a poem by the incredible Mary Walker titled Wild Fruit. Please check out Mary Walker’s website and instagram:

In this episode I will show you how you can use thread to slow stitch and thread paint a bird with incredible textures, as part of the panel inspired by the third stanza of the poem.
Here’s a link to my playlist with my different slow stitch vessels for Roxy’s Journal of Stitchery:

With thanks to Rachel @roxycreations679 and Sarah @roxycreationsbysarah for yet another wonderful project!
With thanks too to Annie Claxton @artyfartyannie who got me started on this fabric panel as part of her Colour inspirations project earlier this year.
I hope you enjoy following along with this idea and tutorial to make an easy slow stitch container or vessel using scraps of fabric. And maybe you want to take a poem or piece of writing as inspiration too!
Here’s a link to another slow stitch fabric container - this time a bowl made from pentagons:

Very pretty bird. I have one like it in the fabrics you sent me. You’ve given me some ideas of how to embellish it. Thanks.
Thanks Candice - glad it’s provided a spark of inspiration too 💙🧵🪡
It's me again I just had to add that I love love that little wispy tail I would never have thought of something like that you are so creative I think bits like that make a project so special thank you again
Thank you so very much - you made me smile and I’m always happy when my slightly quirky ideas are enjoyed by others. 🤗
Love those shades of fabric , wow gorgeous beads and fantastic ideas very inspiring along with a Beautiful poem. Thanks Christine
Oh I used to live in the Mornington peninsula a year ago prior to moving to Queensland. Lovely place to live and visit hope trav had a good day down by the seaside.
Are you loving your new climate Joanne? It really is beautiful on the Peninsula and in winter you can almost have beaches to yourself 🤗
We have snowballs here Christine yum yum haven't had one of those for yonks. Your bird is beautiful, all those fluffy bits is such a good idea ❤
You definitely deserve some yummy sweet treats Karen - hope the week is being kind to you 💙🧵🪡
Hi Christine, this piece is absolutely beautiful! And see, I'm not the only one who thinks you're super creative! Okay, so in answer to two of your questions....Yes, I have inadvertently sewed things to my stitching. Shirt, pants, leg, and when using a hoop, I almost always get those pesky corners caught. That's why I prefer to stretch it in a square frame instead. Question 2 ( I almost forgot what the question was..😂 I can only watch from my phone and I am able to magnify the screen by fingers. But, sometimes it gets a little distorted. Now I really can't remember any others. My memory is terrible! Anyhoo, I hope you're having a great day! TFS 😊
Hahaha - you can join our skirt stitching club too! 😆 I always forget the questions others ask in videos too even though I’m sure I will remember. Probably because we relax so much when I’m stitchy mode 💙🧵🪡
@createandcraftwithchristine that could be it I think mine is old age. 😆
@@kimberleymaloy1728 haha probably mine too but let’s stick to the other story 😂
@@createandcraftwithchristine agreed 👍
Love the poem very meaningful love the way you have/are creating a beautiful piece. Yes I have been sewing into the back of the piece I was working on it was right at the very beginning of the piece. A lot of work unpicked. Love the whispy bits.
Thanks Carol - it’s relief to hear we have all had those sewing mishaps - a badge of honour perhaps 😆 hope you’re having a lovely week 💙🧵🪡
Whenever I hear the word 'plumage' (which isn't often, thank goodness), I think of Monty Python: "Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!" Speaking of your stomach rumbling: "Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make!" (I just listened to Orson Welles' version of Dracula on old-time radio. Can you tell?)
😆 I’ll have to start finding reasons to say plumage more often😆 always love a Monty Python reference. Hope you’re having a great week. Cheers, Christine
Hmmm lurve snowballs :D
They are great even though they are very sweet! Cheers, Christine
its funny you talk how cold and here in new England it is almost 100
degrees
It is strange isn’t it to think we’re all on the same planet with such difference in seasons 🤗
