TAST wheatear stitch

Sharon at http://pintangle.com has us doing the wheatear stitch this week.  This is a new stitch for me.  I drew the lines on the fabric as suggested for doing this stitch.  Often I don't bother with the lines but I am glad that I did this time.  It is a cool stitch and I definitely will try to use it again.  I don't know what I will do about using it on a crazy quilt though.  You certainly can't draw the lines on that.

Great job! You can draw lines on a CQ block if you are careful to use the proper marking pen or pencil- something that can easily be erased or removed.. Or even the use of tape to give you an "edge" rather than a "line" - then peel off... Or there are lots of CQ stencils on the market which give you a straight line of dots to mark - that works too!

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/
