Work in Progress Wednesday

This isn't a great photo.  I can't seem to the colors to show properly.  Nonetheless here is my March crazy quilt block.  All of the fabrics used are silk.  Yum!  I do enjoy working with silk!  Originally I thought I would do all the hand stitching with silk thread.  However I felt the need to use the ribbon and I don't think it is silk.  So then I thought, why limit myself.  I am not fond of limits!  I added my miniature hyperbolic crochet and I am quite pleased with that.  There are a lot of french knots done in a sparkly thread but the camera didn't capture the sparkle.

It looks great. The crochet is really effective. And even though the colours aren't true, they still look good :)

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

Image
 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/
