Take a Stitch Tuesday

Image
I thought the  Knotted Cable Chain  would look good on my under the sea crazy quilt.  I am not thrilled with the way it turned out.  I should know better than to stitch a new stitch to me when I am tired.  I actually do know better but I wanted to get it done.  Oh well, there is a lot happening on this crazy quilt so not likely anyone will notice the not great looking stitches.  Thanks to  Sharon B  for the instructions.

Some water droplets seem appropriate on this rainy day.  The sunshiny yellow adds some cheer to the day and that makes this photo perfect for today. I am linking with http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca https://mersad-photography.blogspot.ca

Stitch a day

Stitching with silk ribbon is such a treat!  I really enjoyed my stitch a day project for May.  I am still really enjoying this fun tree shape.  I am taking a break from it for my June project but will definitely be returning to it again. I am linking with https://kathysquilts.blogspot.ca/

Crazy Quilt Project

Some progress has been made on my May Crazy Quilt Project.  It is now June and there is still a lot to do.  This will be a two-month project.  I will not stress about it.  This about enjoying the process.  Adding more color and beads is next on the agenda. I am linking with  http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.ca/   Nina has some terrific thoughts on art and creativity this week!

Journal prompt week 21

Interrupt anxiety with gratitude, empathy, and mindfulness.  That is the quote for this week.  I think I would add and art making.  For me, art making is a balm for my soul.  I forget all troubles when I am creating.  I printed this quote on one of my favorite photos.  It is going to look good in my journal!

Last week was a good week!  The St. Jacobs Quilt and Fibre Festival was a success.  This is the Grand Guild of Fibre Artist's 'sinchie' (easily created 6-inch block)display.  We had so many wonderful comments about it.  I had a lot of participating in this challenge.  I hope the guild does something similar next year.

This is my  Breton Stitch  done on handmade paper.   Sharon B  showed us this stitch back in March 2013 and it has been that long since I have tried.  I really do wish that stitches would stick in my head!  I think it looks super interesting done in a circle.
