Alexa Lett - artsy designs Stichy, vintage, handmade goodness! Vintage and handmade has always been a part of my creativity and gift giving. Many forms of art have evolved over the years.

A book entitled “Homemade” was quite successful and led to many creative segments on various HGTV and TLC television shows and teaching workshops over the years. But, motherhood began to take more time and a different creative focus began. A passion for ‘all things stitched’ became the art form of choice for many reasons. Years of supporting an athletic daughter led to hours sitting on a bleacher.

This time became the foundation of learning the art of stitching. The need to be creative had to become mobile for me, so this medium was perfect. Plus, a giddy zeal for vintage fabrics collected over the years provided enough supply to last a lifetime. Now, the nest is empty and my little bird is off in college and I have rented an art studio in a wonderful creative community. Now I am back to ALL things creative. I work in mixed media, jewelry, art, stitchery and anything I can put my hands on. I have been asked to teach classes and participate in shows everywhere. The creative world for me is blossoming….I love it.

The Pantone color of the year………my thoughts:
Boring
What happened to introducing us to unique shades of color we are not accustomed to seeing, and weaving it into our palette? This shade of white is no introduction to anything, but a bland neutral that accompanies everything. No one is running to purchase and incorporate this into their art……maybe a wall.

Stitched Sampler
This is an oldie, but a goodie. I love samplers…..the history…..why they were created…..all the things about samplers. There are no rules to samplers….just historical reference to how they were made. So….create your own…..all it needs is a name, date, samples of all kinds of stitches. Create your own stitchy family sampler.

Textile Art
This little gem is at Dirty Jane’s Antiques. Made from all the things that make it unique…..an unfinished needlepoint project as the canvas…..felt flowers from projects made over the years…..a flower pot tapestry that had worn spots all over it. The merging of lots of old, tattered and repurposed.

Sewing Notions!

This little sewing tool is probably 65+ years old. I’m a few years shy of this age…..and I’m not near in this good of shape or have such great, well thought purpose. I love good design….and this little darning tool is sheer perfection. Even the color is outstanding. Could it be improved upon? Does it need to do more….look better…..provide more tools? I don’t know what that would be. Back to the theory…..if you do it correctly the first time….no need to improve upon it.

Vintage Doll
If ever there was a day to show off what may appear as “going off the rails”……today fits nicely. An old rag doll left on the last day of an estate sale…filled with 65-70 years of love and dirt. She needed some embroidery tattoos! Happy Halloween!🎃

Textile Art
I thought it might be fun to dissect each piece and see what was used to assemble this art.
Wood panel is the base. I often pick the panel first to determine the size of the canvas….basically, back in to what I want to create.
The canvas was formerly a needlepoint pillow. It had seen a better day…..
The base was a stained, vintage, hand embroidered, tea towel. It was so beautifully made…but, clearly used.
The flowers are felt and wool scraps shared with me from a fellow quilter. Nothing better than passing on what you don’t want/need. Best gift!
To think……it took so many unknown collaborators to assemble a 6” x 12” piece of art. It’s like a tiny share holders meeting. Everyone contributed to create the end result.
Meeting adjourned.
