Take a stitch Tuesday

Sharon B at http://pintangle.com/ teaches us how to do the Feathered Chain stitch this week.  It is super easy.  I feel like I should have done something more inventive with it since it was so easy for me.  Don`t you hate the word should!  I used it to cover another seam join on my crazy quilt.  That quilt has most of the block seams done now.  Soon I am going to have to face the fact I will have to finish it with a back and binding.  I really don`t enjoy that part of the process.  I have another finished top sitting at my machine waiting for the same thing.  I am finding it difficult to work up the courage to do it.

Just bite the bullet! Once it is over you will feel great!
The Feathered Chain stitch has plenty of space to add other stitches, buttons or beads. You COULD postpone the bullet biting and add some more stitches on that seam!

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/
