This is a 6x6 fabric square. The technique used is called
slow stitch.
Slow stitch is just stitches you use to hold the fabric pieces
to a foundation piece. I used a white piece of felt for the base.
Used different colored embroidery floss. The idea as I understand it is
to have the stitches show. Unlike a crazy quilt the stitches
can be sloppy.
I added some buttons after the piece was stitched. Also used
some natural cheese cloth, and lace.
The flower in the center I cut from the center of a embroidered doily.
So what am I going to do with it? Made it for a swap of course.
Some people frame the finished pieces, or use them in junk journals.
The swap didn't have a theme, but I wanted to make a Christmas one seeing
how "tis the season"!
