Slow Stitching Sunday



 
My scrappy little pieces are a pleasure to stitch.  I am a little concerned that I work with the same colour palette so OFTEN.  I just set these pieces on top of a journal page I had done.  They blend right into it.  I do try to throw in some colours that I don't typically use.  The piece on the right has a bit of olive green.  That is definitely a colour I don't use much.  

There is still plenty of room for stitching on these pieces.  I haven't even started using beads yet.  I have learned from past experience it is best to leave the beads until the very end.  I will wait until have all the pieces sewn together into a scroll.  There will be no worries of catching beads in the seams that way.

I imagine we all get into that same thing with our sewing - certain color combinations appeal more than others. This is a pretty one you're showing today, Angela. I love that lacy flower!

I think we all seem to favour certain colours when creating our projects but mixing it up a bit always gives an unexpected and pleasing effect. I love that little pop of olive green.

It is often that little spot of unusual colour that adds contrast and pizzaz to make the piece sing.

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/
