Slow Stitching Sunday


 I have started yet another mandala.  I believe I won't be using any beads on this one but I may change my mind.  Sparkling threads can be just a good as beads.  The base fabric is purple but the photograph looks rather muddy.  I am enjoying figuring out the right stitch to do next.  There are so many potentials.  The same could be said of my thread choices.  I love going through my massive stash of thread.  All the colours make me as happy as a kid in a candy store.

Funny how the background looks grey... but it is a great background for these lovely stitches!

That's such a pretty start! Will you just keep adding stitches in a circle until you feel it's finished? I haven't tried stitching something like that, but I would love to!

The background appears gray on my PC, but it looks beautiful anyway! Happy stitching!

This newest Mandala is pretty, Angela. So many lovely threads stitched in lovely, detailed patterns. The pink circle in the centre is fascinating. What stitch is this one?

You're right, the metallic thread is as appealing as beads.
You have also chosen the perfect stitches to go round the circle. It's really beautiful.

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/
