2012 in Scratchings
I like that your scratchings are all in one spot for reference. I love these and find them very inspiring.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful scratchings-journal and an ambitious undertaking! inspiring indeed
ReplyDeleteMet you at the Fibre Arts Retreat, we were almost sitting side by side. I was enthralled with your stitched journal. I attended Quilt Canada and was humbled by the beautiful quilts. I was able to take a class with Anna Hergert, Kantha Quilting, another form of hand stitching. I look forward to following your work now that I know how you are. Hadn't got beyond the name Penny, until yesterday. Glad I found you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty Penny !
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely spectacular, Penny. So diligent, so inspiring, so lovely.
ReplyDeleteWell, well done!
What a wonderful record of your year. Really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, and seeing your work is so inspirational. Thank you for sharing your talent and your needlework.
ReplyDeleteDonna
This looks such fun ! What a lovely idea. I want to do one now :-)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part is how you have used the fabric starting with a very lite background and moving toward a darker background for the holdiay/winter time. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteActually that is just coincidence! I usually just make a strip of whatever fabric speaks to me at the time.
DeleteLOL-the cloth was speaking to you to create the lovely ombre looking cloth at the end!
DeleteYup!
DeleteI have just found your blog through Pinterest, and I am just stunned at your talent and skill....your stitching is simply wonderful, and your year in stitches has left me quite speechless.....what a beautiful piece of work, so inspiring....
ReplyDeleteSo glad I found you

I really enjoy the beauty of your designs. As I am just embarking on a journal year and have not done this before, could you please tell me how to start. Do you use to 2 layers of very long strips or add sometimes as you go along? Any particular types of fabrics work best? Thank you for your inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYour scratchings, creativity and stitching are absolutely wonderful. What a fabulous piece you have created.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I loved seeing these and especially since I've been doing a daily tapestry practice since 2008 (for one month then)--and throughout the year since 2009. I wrote about the 2015 one when I cut it from the loom at the end of December; here's my blog post about that: http://tapestry13.blogspot.com/2016/01/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-do-that.html
ReplyDeleteI love the thought of doing a small devotion to practice daily... even in the midst of doing other time consuming works.
Thank you for sharing about your beautiful work.
Un journal original à l'écriture bien particulière. J'admire. Merci
ReplyDeleteMagnifique ... j'aime beaucoup ce travail, et j'aimerais bien en réaliser un jour !!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea
ReplyDeleteI am happy that you also show us the backside.
ReplyDeleteStunning...
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletePinterest suggested that I might like this post, and boy do I! I don't know if you've continued this since your original one(s), but I think it's a fabulous idea and really beautiful work. I'm so glad you shared it and so glad you've kept it out there for us to see. Thank you for the beauty and inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful piece. And such an inspiration to me this morning. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful stitched journal in a roll. I’m so pleased I found this on Pinterest 😻
ReplyDeleteHello Penny!
ReplyDeleteWarm greetings from autumnal Cape Town, South Africa!
I ab-so-lute-ly LOOOOOVE your embroidered scrolls. Pray please do tell - how do you cover the back of the stitching, or don't you??? Eagerly awaiting your reply - at your convenience, of course. Best wishes,Toody
