Take a stitch Tuesday

Thanks to Sharon at http://pintangle.com/ for the instructions for the the Shell Chain stitch, bottom picture and the Beaded Link Chain stitch, top picture.  The close up pictures aren't all that clear, sorry.  I don't want to show more of the pieces as they are projects that are in the works and no where close to finished.  These stitches have a lot of potential and I look forward to using them now that I have learned them!

These are great stitches and I am sure the whole piece will be wonderful thanks to them. It is fantastic to see how much they change with the addition of a bead, don't you think?

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/
