Work In Progress Wednesday


 I don't play with my sewing machine often.  It is a wonderful machine and it works really well so I feel bad when I neglect it for too long.  I decided to dust it off this week since I have nothing pressing to get finished.  The fabric base I created years ago with scraps and an organza overlay.  It has been hanging around in my studio waiting for further inspiration.

I decided to couch down some interesting yarns and add some decorative machine stitching as well.  There were some little hiccups in the decorative stitching.  I am not going to pick them out.  I plan to add some hand stitching to this so those hiccups might get covered.

I am not too fond of machine stitching but also feel a bit guilty if I don't use my machine. Couching down long threads by machine is far faster than by hand so the work is soon done.

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

  I am on a scroll roll.  This is the second one I started this week.  I love the soft romantic feel of these pieces.  I love working with bright and cheerful colours but occasionally I have to play with a different set of colours.   These scrolls are coming together faster than I thought they would.  That also feels good.   Sometimes I need a project that can be completed quickly.
