stitched bits on etsy

As I continue with the giant summer quilt project, I've been stitching on different things here and there and practicing stitching while I go. I'm not one who worries about perfection in the things I make by hand, I'm fine with leaving the oopsies in (proof above and below). It adds soul and authenticity in my book. I truly enjoy the process of it all. And whenever I see Jude Hill's work I am inspired to try different things. This photo here was the inspiration to try some smaller spots and circles. I just love every single thing she did on her piece and could stare at it for days and still find something new to be inspired by.

And while I've been working on my crazy quilt journal project, I picked up some stitched bits I started so long ago and gave them some needed attention. I've "finished" a bunch (are they ever really finished? you might want to add to them after all), and have listed them for sale over at my etsy shop. Their little fabric collages, postcard sized generally. I'm thinking you might want to pin one to an inspiration board, make a sachet or itty bitty pillow out of them, attach them to a journal cover, sew on a tote etc. (They aren't washable though.) Here's the pile that I just listed:

Dear Pam
Thank you so much for sharing your art! I love every piece of the crazy quilt piece you made. Everything you do is beautiful and incredible!!! You inspire me to create my own cloth journal. I can't wait to start stitching. My day is not complete if I don't visit your website and see what you're up to. Keep creating!

They are all so beautiful, I can't help but think they would have made such a beautiful banner. I'm so banner obsessed right now!
