Another page for my fabric journal. The stitch this week is couching and I have couched threads down with ribbon yarn and couched ribbon yarn darn with threads. I have used the regular style of couching around the rectangular piece of painted paper and the green ribbon. I have also couched ribbon yarn down with herringbone stitch and feather stitch. To hold the upcycled metal ring in place I have used detached chain stitch and buttonhole stitch. The background fabric was painted.

TAST and 3M
The stitch for Take a Stitch Tuesday is Feather Stitch. I've used a patchwork of vintage fabrics and transfer printed lace [not sure the green works]. This will be a page in a fabric journal eventually.
The Three Muses challenge is Animal Kingdom. This is a painting from one of my sketchbooks, I had quilting in mind when I did the background. I call him Snooty Bear.
