Slow Stitching Sunday


 I need a little help from this clever stitching community.  Pictured above is a vintage quilt block I inherited.  I have been finding interesting ways to use them.  My newest venture is to trade this with a young artist once I have embroidered a word on to it.  The young artist is working on her solo show for graduation.  Her idea is to create a piece of art each day and then trade it on Instagram.  Her show will have a photo of the piece she created hanging next to the piece created in response to it.  I hope I am describing her idea well enough.  

I am trading her for a vintage hanky that she embroidered panky onto.  Giggles.  So clever!  I would love to come up with a word or phrase equally as clever but alas nothing has come to me.  Does anyone have any suggestions for me?  

Also, don't you just love that embroidery is going to hang in an art gallery at a university!

That is a very pretty piece of embroidery but as to a word you can sew on it I haven’t a clue! If I have a brain wave I’ll get back to you 😁

Lovely embroidery. Sorry, I am at a loss to figure out an appropriate word though.

That embroidered block is so pretty. I am afraid I can't think of a clever word for it though. Maybe "power" since it is full of flowers? Maybe not....LOL

Yes, panky is clever on a hanky. Wish I could think of something clever to suggest. You may come up with something. It is good that this will part of a art project.

Why, every university should have embroidery hanging on the walls. =) Such a fabulous idea! Love the word "panky" embroidered on the hanky. As for a word for you to embroider on the lovely embroidered piece.....I cannot think of anything brilliant. =( It will probably come to me at the wee hours in the morning....in the death of night.

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!

 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/
