Calling all Stitchers! It sounds like a lot of us are using these days to get a lot of stitching done. So, let’s do a show and tell. For the near term future, I’m going to dedicate Sundays to #stitchingsundays with your work using #whimsicalwednesday stitches.
This is a great opportunity to see how the whimsicalstitch community as a whole uses the stitches shared here or in my new book. I am confident there are some wonderful riffs on the whimsicalstitch library that will generate new ideas for anyone to use in your projects.
To be included, please send the following to mary@whimsicalstitch.com:
Stitched Sample Photo: A clear photo of your stitched sample. Ideally, the photo should be high res, straight on so we can see the detail, and clear of those annoying phone shadows (if possible).
Threads: The thread(s) you used in the stitch, including brand name (e.g. Soie d’Alger, Splendor, Sundance Beads, Vineyard Silk), ply count (if applicable), and mesh size.
Deisgner: Please include the name of the designer (if you know it).
Stitch Source: Include a note if the stitch is from my new book and page # for the stitch if you know it.
Instagram Handle: If you have an Instagram account, please include your account name so I can tag you!
As an example, the photo on the right is the raw photo I used for yesterday’s #whimsicalwednesday stitched sample. I cropped and resized it to fit into the stitched sample template.
Please send photos of your stitched work and stitch/thread information to me at mary@whimsicalstitch.com.
My plan is to post them on Sundays as part of the #stitchingsunday theme. #whimsicalwednesdays will continue as scheduled.
Please join the fun! Stay safe, wash your hands, practice social distancing, and stitch!
