Take a Stitch Tuesday Vandyke Stitch


Here is my attempt at the Vandyke stitch.  Since I have never done this stitch before I decided to practice first, top picture.  It wasn't all that difficult so I added it to my August crazy quilt block.  You can see that I started get impatient with the stitch and my spacing grew larger.  I honestly don't mind that it doesn't look exactly as it is supposed to.  I have always been a rebel.
Thanks to Sharon B for the instructions.http://pintangle.com/

On a crazy quilt block, however it looks is exactly how it is supposed to look. I like it 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/
