I decided to try out the monthly stitched journal this year. January is almost done. Keeping a tiny spot to visit a Wolf Sanctuary.

I made a little perfectly imperfect book today. It is 3" x 4". Scraps from my quilting group. I know everything I have been posting lately is pink. The reason for all the pink my quilting friends give me all their scraps each week. Pink is mostly what I'm being given at this time. It was a fun little piece to make.

Hello Cozy Makers, I was looking at the conversations and interests in this beautiful community and I realized some of you could be interested in a free embroidery workshop. With Lynda’s permission, I would like to invite you to my free embroidery workshop happening this weekend in my community, Seasons of Crafting Circle (I know some of you are already there 🤗). We’ll be making an adorable sleepy hedgehog together. The event will happen live but you’ll also have access to the video tutorial if you can’t make it this weekend. Obviously no pressure if this isn’t your cup of tea but if it is, I’d love to see you there as well 😘 Either way, I look forward to reading you and discover your work in the future.

- Add these to your community notebook's Project or Prompt section and start gathering your ideas. Sketch a visual, add color swatches, and list the supplies you'll need to create your project, etc. - If you don't have your planner yet, write them down so you can brainstorm some ideas.

What is Stitch Journaling? How it works - You stitch on fabric scraps, old linens, clothing, or quilt blocks, whatever you want. - You use simple stitches—running stitch, backstitch, French knots, whatever feels right. What makes it different from embroidery - It’s about stitching expressions, moods, memory, reflections, - Think of it as emotional note-taking with thread. - Our theme will be 'Cozy" - I will provide 30 simple prompts If you're interested, comment below. If there is enough interest, I'll start putting together the prompts and a process video. Project would start on March 1, 2026.
