Take a stitch Tuesday

Finally, I have done the take a stitch Tuesday with Sharon B at http://www.pintangle.com/  on my crazy quilt journal project.  That has been my intention all along but I didn't know what I was doing with my crazy quilt until just last week.  Here I have done the Cretan stitch which is the focus this week.  I have never done this stitch prior to this.  I quite like it and will definitely use it on my crazy quilts from now on.  I think the metallic thread shows up nicely on the dark fabric.  I am not showing the whole block as it is not finished yet but will be by the end of the week.

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/
