Again, another new stitch. I struggled with getting the tension and spacing correct. However, I really do like the stitch and will add it to other blocks. Eventually I will get it right!

Hmm, now I am wondering if this piece needs more beads. I was thinking it is finished. I don't like to dither but deciding when something is finished can be a challenge for me. I am not loving this piece at the moment. I doesn't make me say 'oh wow' but I am not sure what I would add to it.
I have felt the need to play with very bright and vibrant colours of late. This mandala I made a few years ago but it was calling to me again. I have been loading it up with stitches to add texture. I realize these brights aren't everyone's taste. Since I am making it for me, I am not about to worry about what other people like or don't like. Playing in this field of colour makes me happy!

I have created more flowers. These ones don't feel quite up to snuff. I may put them back in the pile to work on further. I think more stitching is needed on some of them. We did our big Thanksgiving dinner yesterday, so today will be quiet. I will enjoy some stitching time and some leftover turkey! I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
This stitch can look very stiff when done 'perfectly' but your stitches are relaxed and 'organic'. I think they are just right for your block.
ReplyDeleteI too had problems with this stitch, I found it very easy to get the knot in the wrong place! I agree with Queenie about your stitches.
