Combine bright floral patterns and vintage embroidery to create a fabric collage bursting with texture and pattern. Rebecca shows how to create a loose, freeform style of embroidery where more is more. She demonstrates how to blend different fabric prints as a base, then add vintage trims and embroideries – and she teaches several floral stitch patterns that add density and dimension. Once you’re finished embroidering, hang your finished collage on a wall or incorporate it into a sewing project such as a pillow or bag that needs some cheer.

Very good - I would have liked to see a few more examples of her work, as it is totally a new idea to me and still trying to wrap my mind around the final look.

I'm going to do one of the monthly samplers so looking for the stitches that Rebecca has put into it. Some appear here. It's so exciting using a needle and thread to make art so want to give myself as much ammunition as possible to achieve this. Thank you for sharing.

I think this is one of Rebecca’s best videos. So inspirino to apply “more is more” philosophy to your work. I was working on dropcloth sampler Christmas tree ornaments while watching and totally improved the look of one of my trees!
