Stitched Up

There are so many lovely patterned papers in the My Mind's Eye My Girl collection that I couldn't pick just one, two or three so I picked five and made a quilt. Hand stitching all those squares (they are 2.5x2.5") is a little bit of a labour of love but I think it's worth it. It's also really simple to do (gets my vote right there) and the stitching is quite therapeutic and can be done in front of the TV (multi-tasking at its best).

 

And here is the boy version (at Jack's request - not one to see a hand stitched  layout go past him) using My Mind's Eye Boy Crazy.

 

And man, that boy is crazy :)

  1. Lovely pages and seriously cute photos - I'm a fan of hand-stitching for the added texture, but am often too lazy and just whizz along with the machine!

  3. They are a fab matching pair. I love the hand stitched look, I find it very therapeutic as well when there is time.
