I thought a little sample book of stains and stitches might be nice.
With a torn and stitched strip for a spine, and a thin crocheted band for a handle.
Bits and pieces,
stitches here and there.
Swirls and X's
over pretty colored staines and beeswax infused fibers.
One typed word,
To focus my thoughts.
Seed and fish bone stitches,
and lovely frayed edges
And that's enough.

fun! what are you going to do with it? or is that the wrong question?
Brenda, ha! I don't think that there are any wrong questions! As for the book, I think that I will just hang it on a wall, or sit it on a shelf, and just let it be what it is!
it's lovely - reminder to just "be" sometimes, not to be always "doing" we are human beings not human doings. i also love the frayed soft edges. comforting and gently. nothing harsh about this. peaceful.
namaste!
What a fun and creative idea!
Lovely! Everything you do is so inspiring... feeling the urge to put seed stitches on something now...
Every page prints a 1000 words - beautiful!
Love it! Colors, textures, stitches.

So simply lovely! That is a great idea for kids to work with! I will steel your idea and share it with some of me dear kids if that is okay?

What a lovely little book!
Making textile sample books is so good. Louise Bourgeois beautiful books,and the Japanese weave, and dye sample books give me goose bumps. Yours is very fine. I'm working on a rag weave one
