This week I make a stitched piece for my journal by doing a variation of the bento design, by piecing in two stages.

Thank you for all the effort you put into making these videos. They bring a lot of joy and mindfulness into what can be a stressful life xx

@nancydale7367 Месяц назад

I so agree with you!!

@pamfrank3962 Месяц назад

We appreciate your time and dedication to filming 🎥 our projects. I personally wake each Monday and Wednesday eager to view what we will do that day. The conversation is a big part of the enjoyable experience.

@SandraPujari-Harrian Месяц назад

❤ yes. I do too

@k3n.clothtales Месяц назад

Thank you Pam I am so pleased you are here ❤️

You could also begin with a large brown square and sew 2 light small squares on top with raw edges showing 😊

Yes, yes. James Cromwell! So good and understated, playing that character, wasn’t he? He played a good villian, too, on occasion. I’m so looking forward to stitching my Bento bag! Thank you. Hope the show and meeting of co-chairs went well. I so appreciated your taking all of us on your show tour. xoxo

The texture and structure created by the running stitches is beautiful. I just want to reach in and touch it. Thank you for sharing ❤ 🇦🇺

@alison64able Месяц назад

Thank you for teaching me some quilting tricks 😊

@jennywren2395 Месяц назад

Poodles were originally used for retrieving water fowl. The fancy trims that later became fashionable for them were to keep their leg joints warm whilst reducing the bulk around their middles for swimming. The name came from the old German name "Pudlen" meaning "to splash".

@k3n.clothtales Месяц назад

I had a feeling they were also swimmers but wasn't sure. Stella is good at splashing at least 🤣❤️

@kellywilkinson292 Месяц назад

I have a confession to make. I started looking up stitching and embroidery videos because my mom gave me all of her embroidery supplies and unfinished projects just before she died. I have had these large bags full of embroidery floss and linen and I have absolutely no idea what to do with them. I spin, knit and crochet and that’s what I am doing while I’m watching. That and thinking about how I would interpret these projects in crochet or knit, which I think would be awesome. I started a quilt after her death in an attempt to teach myself something to do with the supplies but I just recently started working on it again. Basically, I just watch because I enjoy the process and the stories. I haven’t stitched any of the projects at all, I just enjoy the videos.

@k3n.clothtales Месяц назад

It would be wonderful to interpret the stitching in knit or crochet, and of course there's no obligation for you to make the stuff I make, I am delighted that you enjoy watching or listening. 😉 I made a quilt when my Dad died using his shirts and hankies. It was a very soothing, comforting project that helped me process my grief. I hope your mum's quilt does the same for you. ❤️

@katethompson2818 Месяц назад

This is a beautiful piece, with all of those rich natural colours playing together!

What a lovely block

@monicaheidemann9332 Месяц назад

Such a soothing and harmonious colourscheme. The way you've arranged the colours really makes them sing just like ordinary words in their right place are transformed into a poem.

@k3n.clothtales Месяц назад

Beautiful words, thank you ❤️

@ninaindoorssinging4715 Месяц назад

Oh Kathryn, you do sound a little weary in this. I hope you have had some time off , of some kind, while you have been away in England. Maybe I recognise the signs because of things that happened to me in the last couple of years, or maybe it is because you wanted to do so many recordings before going away and I have been imagining how tiring that might be. Anyway, all those things that people say about looking after yourself, it turns out they are right! You are, as other people have said here, dedicated to filming for us, but I’m sure we all want you to be rested too.❤

@k3n.clothtales Месяц назад

Thank you Nina, I am ok. So sweet of you to worry about me. I am being well looked after by my friend in England ❤️

@annrubino6252 Месяц назад

This one seems an eye puzzle to me, K3N. I don't know if I'm appreciating the dark/light pattern developed. It makes me think of some puzzles which befuddle my brain (sudoku). As always, I enjoyed your talking about 'life in a day' and the many tips you disclose. Hope you are having a terrific time in England.

@k3n.clothtales Месяц назад

Thank you Ann yes I am, I can see why this design might be befuddling 😁❤️

@bellascraftystudio Месяц назад

Hi Kathryn, Oh my word I nearly fell off my chair when you gave me a mention, I was so busy working and listening it was the last thing I was expecting. You are such a sweet lady thank you so much. Your piece is amazing I'm not sure if my brain could manage it you make it look so easy. I hope you had lots of fun on your trip to England and has returned with lots of lovely ideas for your future work. Thanks again, love Bella xx

@k3n.clothtales Месяц назад

My pleasure Bella, please don't fall off your chair 😁 I am still in England, having a good time, back to France on Sunday ❤️

@jennyh290 Месяц назад

I’m finally able to get back to this and work on finishing my bento block. I had stopped your video until I could get back to it and you just said X marks the spot. It’s so strange because in my Desert Island post on FB I said the same thing. Mind you I hadn’t seen this video yet. And I believe this was premade since you are away. Also, Ive decided to use red in my stitching on this piece(just will be in a different way) and you’ve just decided to do the red X. Love these simple connections.

@k3n.clothtales Месяц назад

Me too, about the connections, yes I filmed this about two weeks ago 😁♥️

@megantorri1711 Месяц назад

I didn't see where this was going when you started, but at the end I finally got it. So fascinating!❤

@artistgrly Месяц назад

That block is so wonky!! I love it!! Hugs ❤️

@k3n.clothtales Месяц назад

I have made two more so far, I think they are even wonkier 😂❤️

@bossieackerman1067 Месяц назад

Interesting block...I agree it would make a lovely rice bag. Love the wonky. Many thanks for sharing. x Blessings x Mariana xx

@cristinahewer5710 Месяц назад

Wonderful work K3n, before I started watching your Chanel, I had no idea of how many log cabin variations were out there, thank you for enriching my knowledge on this topic. One more thing I love the wonky, because that means, it’s a one off piece, even if you tried you wouldn’t be able to get it the same.

@k3n.clothtales Месяц назад

I agree about the wonky and thank you ❤️

I’ve cut off a few of my jeans to make shorts this year. I’m adding slow stitch patches - this one will be a fun pocket and conversation piece. Thanks!

@evocationart8370 Месяц назад

Thank you for another interesting block. I might pass on this one, it kind of did my head in 🤯 all those little seams 😂maybe when I have caught up with other things I will attempt it! Whether I do or not is irrelevant I still love watching and listening to you 😊❤

@k3n.clothtales Месяц назад

Thank you, it is indeed a bit 'seamy' 😁 I like sewing seams sometimes but not everyone does I know. 😉❤️

@amyspanne5629 23 дня назад

Put in your Idea section of your Common Place book: small exercise in non-dominant hand stitching. My girlfriend grew up being forced to stich right handed in spite of being naturally left handed. Maybe righties experiencing the awkwardness of it all will get something from how much more you have to focus on the process. And you can whitter about all the sinister, gauche and other discriminatory words lefties have dealt with through history as well as all the artists & gifted athletes who are lefties.

@k3n.clothtales 23 дня назад

It's already on the list 😉 ❤️

@nancydale7367 Месяц назад

I'm so surprised that it sounds so firm when you're sewing the last rounds, I never would have thought your soft cloths would be that sturdy! Gorgeous piece, I may have to try it, even though I'm really not good at piecing!

@SassySue67 Месяц назад

You don’t have to be good at piecing, you just need to enjoy the journey, it’s Wonky Wednesday after all.

@k3n.clothtales Месяц назад

Piecing is just stitching two bits of cloth together, I have every faith in you Nancy. Also, when you stitch to a foundation, it holds everything together, then some fancy stitching on top and the piecing fades into the background. ❤️

@megfowler4177 Месяц назад

Very interesting block. I love it. I didn’t sew along with you because I’m running out of fabrics for these. Have to have a tea dye session today! ❤

Could you please advise where you find the “bobbins” you keep your threads on ~ I absolutely love them ~ not sure what to call them so as to look for them. ~ thank you for all your videos

@k3n.clothtales Месяц назад

Do you mean the flat sticks or the round ones? The round ones are old wooden spools, picked up here and there, thrift stores, car boot sales etc and the flat ones are the sticks out of ice lollies, saved over the years. The children knew early not to throw them away. 😁❤️

@debbymatyas349 Месяц назад

The flat ones were the ones that I was interested in and I just happened to find them on Etsy ~ thank you again for your help and your videos.

Nose itches? You’re going to kiss a fool.

Itchy nose. My Mother used to say, "You're going to be kissed, cursed or vexed" and then she would kiss me on the nose.

@darnicenixon6041 Месяц назад

Lovely story about Stella. My friend has a seeing eye dog that is a poodle. People think she is not blind because her aid dog isn't a Shepherd or a Labrador. 🦮 I truly want to try this one. My problem is I start a project and your 1 hour working gets it done, with me 24 hours later I'm putting the finishing stitches. 🪡

@alexandraalmeida3661 Месяц назад

You know I love this, don’t you? And you know I’m going to make one or more, don’t you? 😁 I’m thinking about a box 🤔… Your ideas are always amazing!!!! I hope you’re having a wonderful time in England 🧡💙🩷🤎🩵❤️💜💚🤍💛 ( I know you’re not obligated to answer and I’m not obligated to comment, but I wrote you a comment on Monday’s video and I don’t know if you saw it… sometimes my comments disappear… I don’t know if it’s because they’re so big 😅😁… I’m going to copy it as if it were another comment)

@k3n.clothtales Месяц назад

I have made nearly two more blocks in odd moments, thinking of either a box or rice bag 😁 not sure about Monday's comment, I will have a look, it's possible I missed it, I am not in my usual routine that I have when i am at home of methodically going through the comments, I am reading the comments in odd moments like now when I am awake at 4.30am 😁 sometimes comments don't appear in the notifications and then I see them in the app. ❤️
