Coffee Filter Mandala


 I am incredibly grateful for my creativity.  I am grateful for my art supplies.  I can even be grateful for the time this pandemic has given me for creating.  I can easily lose all concerns when creating whether it is with paint and paper or needle and thread.  My coffee filter mandalas bring me so much pleasure.  Often I will stitch right into them but this one I am wondering if I should print on fabric.  It would allow for more stitching as I wouldn't worry about perforating the paper too much.  But getting the colour just right is an issue.  hmm

I like your new blog look. It would be nice on fabric but getting the colour right is difficult with a home printer. Could you attach it to fabric and then stitch?

This is terrific! It would be so suitable for my circles in a square.

Angela, it seems we are both having a week of appreciation. It is as though you read my mind.

I am grateful to know if what I choose to make this week is finished or doesn't work out, there is always next week to start fresh. So whatever you opt for, why not think of it as testing one option and you can move on to the other option in the future.

You are right, we stitchers have much to be grateful for.
This mandala is just another in your series of beautiful ones.

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/
