Take a stitch Tuesday diamond stitch

This is a new stitch to me.  It looked like a tough one to learn so I just worked in on a loose piece of fabric.  I didn't have the confidence to try it on one of my crazy quilt blocks.  I am glad that I didn't as I think it will take me some practice to get it right.  I probably should have worked on aida cloth or similar.  It would have made it easier to keep things even.  I do like the stitch.  Thanks to Sharon B. at http://pintangle.com/ for the instructions.

    It took me some time to work it evenly, too. Have you ever tried using Waste Canvas as a grid to make even stitches? You can work on even weave or a T-shirt and after stitching spray it with water until the canvas fibres get limp and can be pulled out, leaving beautiful neat stitches on the T-shirt.

I am not a gardener but I do love flowers.  It is so much fun for me to get out my macro lens and spend time photographing flowers up close and personal.  I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/

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.
