I don't have a sewing machine and wouldn't know how to use it if I did, but you sure make it tempting to learn. I love the look of stitching on cards and other projects. I will save this post, just in case :-)) A lot of good tips. Also, I love love love the canvas with three houses and just black thread, I think it would be beautiful framed just like that. Your other house projects are adorable, too. Thank you for a wonderful post.Marcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17496725662766858890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502076798705704111.post-70944899837350501962016-04-02T10:32:42.444-04:002016-04-02T10:32:42.444-04:00Thank you Amanda, you have me blushing here!

Some splendid design ideas on each project and thanks for showing the pictorial instructions. So helpful, but I know it takes longer to complete when you're taking photos of so many steps. I especially liked the 'water effect material' on the beach house. Very ingenious & looks so good. A great sketch idea too, on the muslin, and thanks for the clear gesso tip with book pages. Good to know the gesso doesn't gunk up the needle. Wonderful creations on each one! WTGo! And stitching on the hearts really did add so much emphasis.

I am always very precise when I make something from fabric but the beauty of stitching in craft is that you can stitch away with gay abandon, it does not need to be in straight lines at all and it can still look great! So, forget what those horrid teachers said (why or why do they do that!!) and have some fun just playing! It is very liberating!
