Work in progress Wednesday

This another old block that I decided to stitch onto.  I added the ribbon roses and the copper/orange colored beads.  The beads are special to me as I bought them at the flea market in Paris when I was there almost two years ago.  Their color is perfect for this block.  I can't think of much else to do on this block so I might call it finished.  Which means there is only one block left to finish for this quilt.  Yippee!

It is nice with 'finishes', isn't it? You will remember your trip to Paris every time you look at this block; that is why adding mementoes are so important and fun.
Keep up the good work.

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/
