Baaad24in24: Hootenannies
I have a goal of FINISHING 24 projects in 2024; Join me? They can be big or small, new or old, and in any fibre craft; just get ‘er done.
Today’s topic: Hootenannies
You know when you get this idea to do a long-term project, but don’t actually believe in your gut you will actually complete? A real mix of good intentions, the enjoyment of working towards an end but not really in a hurry to finish? Well these owl embroideries by Hook, Line and Tinker were my version of an informal artistic pursuit, with the end goal being to one day create an ensemble in some future window display.
I just puttered along, starting a few in 2023 and continuing on with my #baaad24in24 completed FOs #4 (Barn Owl) and #8 twin projects of Horned Owl and Snow Owl. And suddenly I realized that these individual projects came together! Window display status: SUCCESS… and can be found adorning Baaad Rabbit Fibre Arts Co Summer Stitch Along’s launch.
Have you been interested in trying embroidery? These kits by Canadian artist Laurie Dolhan of Hook, Line & Tinker are a perfect way to start; modern, cute and not a long-term commitment, maybe this summer is a perfect time to give them a go??
