The
second challenge is to share a tip on how you manage your stitching time. Well,
I try to get some stitching done every day. I share a few thing about how I
organize my TAST stitching. In the first week of this challenge I cut a lot of
samplers from different fabrics I wanted to use. I prepared them by zigzagging
the edges and adding extra strips of fabric, so it fits my embroidery hoop. Some
of them don’t have any stitches yet.
Some
are finished or partly filled.
This
is how I store them in my cupboard.
The
sampler I’m working on is pinned on the quilt I use as my design board, so I
can look at it from time to time.
The
embroidery threads for each sampler are in a plastic bag with a note about the
sampler.
And
I bought a squared notebook to draw my idea’s for the stitches. Idea’s mostly pop
up when I don’t have time to stitch and I don’t want to forget them. If I don’t
have time to draw in my notebook I make a quick note and add it in my
notebook later that day. I have another notebook to write what I have stitched, that's how
I can write about it on my blog!

Those chain stitches are looking good for your zentangle.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI wish I was this organized. I am ashamed to say that my TAST challenge work is all tossed into a drawer higgledy piggledy :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMy TAST is tucked away in a box. Love the look of your zentanglembroidery! (hey, a new word, yes?) lol...You are so organized.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe 'mooka' looks great as embroidery! And thanks for sharing your process - such organization skills always come in handy for such a project.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYour embroidered Mooka is gorgeous!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI think you are a naturally organized person. I certainly don't have the fabric prepared for future TAST stitches. I literally grab what's handy.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYour embroidery, as always, looks good. Zentangle is where tangled threads in embroidery is a good thing!
I just learned what "deze is ook leuk!" means :^D (cool blog, too, but I need a translator for it.)
You are so very organized, Annet. This is why you are probably how you achieve so much?? Look forward to seeing the rest of your zentangle inspired emb. Regards Dianne.
