Work in Progress Wednesday



Years ago I was gifted with a lovely quilted table runner, not my colours.  I was certain I would find a way to use it even if not for its intended purpose.  I have turned it into a cover my flower book, bottom photo.  Inside the book,https://www.quiltfabrication.com/ there are four vines.  Each vine has at least 25 flowers.  There are four sheer pockets/pages that hold the flowers.  The vines and flowers can all come out of the pockets to create a garden, top photo.  The flowers are made with bits and pieces of fabric, beads, doilies and buttons.  Some are wet felted, some are crocheted.  I have also used paper and tyvek.  This was an absolute play time for me.  So fun!

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/
