Take a stitch Tuesday Alternating Up and Down Buttonhole Stitch

I used Glisten Gloss Sundance thread to stitch this.  It was absolutely miserable to pull through the fabric.  However, I persisted and got it done.  I do like the way it looks so I guess it was worth it.

It is interesting to see the spacing you have; my Up and Down Buttonhole stitches usually look like V. I imagine my Alternating Up and Down Buttonholes will be a barbed wire!

This is a great stitch to play around with. There are so many different variations and I like your one.

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/
