Example of a Stitch Memory:

I want to try the star stitch:

• So, today I’ll look for star shapes
• When walking through the park, I notice star shape flowers, and a mossy plant that grows in little star shapes. I take photos (image 1)
• I choose the mossy plant. I notice that it grows against a greeny background and is made of green hues
• I choose a green fabric and light green threads in three colours
• I stitch a sprinkle of star stitches across my small piece of fabric (image 2)
• Done! This is my ‘stitch memory’ of what I noticed today (image 3)
