crazy quilt journal project

I finally have a direction for this project.  I have picked out some fabric from my stash that I think I will use.  I am going with an animal print theme.  This seems a bit dark now that I am looking at the picture.  I know I have some other lighter fabrics in my stash that I can use so I will look for those when I have a minute.  Also I know that I have some marvelous beads that will work for this but I can't find them just now.

I love this fabric combo! .. it might be okay for the fabric set to feel a little dark, because you could choose to lighten the overall piece with your thread and embellishment choices. If you use lighter threads and such, the darker ground would help them show up. Just a thought, of course- there are many lovely ways to approach every CQ.

Bead Journal for September

I feel like this has enough beading now.  The beading enhances the kaleidoscope without obliterating it.  I pushed myself outside of my box by using some bigger beads.  I am always learning!

Slow Stitching Sunday

 Working on another wool mandala.  It is a pleasure to have the wool on my lap now that the weather has turned colder.  I started this project back in the summer and didn't enjoy working on it so much then.  I wonder if I can complete this project this winter.  There are fifteen wool mandalas to do.  It doesn't seem likely that I will.  I could be wrong.  I don't want to put any undue pressure on myself.  There is no deadline.  The spring might be cool enough to continue working on it.   My but I do jump into the future.  Slow stitching really helps me to be present.  I am so grateful that stitching is such a balm for my soul.  We all need to have something that does that for us.   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
