Stitching ATCs
Mon, October 4, 2010 at 01:57PM 
love my little mini-collage from leftover scrapbook paper, needle (size 90/14 uni) went thru multiple layers
a leaf print i did when my daughter and i were stamping with leaves, watercolor paper; the block printing ink cracked and the dust isn't good for the machine, i imagine
on watercolor paper, the quads are watercolored inchies, the flower is from my daughter's worn out sandals (she wears sandals year round, in winter with socks)
abstract acrylic atc, weak attempt at aligning stitches
little mandala atc, new stitching, practicing freehand, getting close to edges, aligning

Hi Tammy
Looks like you've had fun here!
Thanks for mentioning my blog and sharing my pages with your readers!!
I posted some tips for sewing on paper near the end of July if anyone is interested.

These are awesome, Tammy!!! Just remember to keep a dedicated needle for sewing paper vs. one for sewing fabric. Hugs, Terri xoxoxo
The leaf print is my favorite of these ATC! Oh. Great links, as usual! :-)
