Take a sttich Tuesday


Thanks to Sharon B at http://pintangle.com/ for the instructions for this stitch called Triangular buttonhole stitch and Beaded Triangular buttonhole stitch.  The top photo is my first attempt at it.  I added it to my crazy quilt project from last year.  I have all the blocks sewn together so now the seams need to treated.

The bottom photo is the beaded stitch added to my bead journal project for March.  The beads I used are a bit too large for the thread but it doesn't bother me enough to redo it.  I would like to experiment with the beaded stitch a bit more.  I think it has interesting potential.

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/
