Take a Stitch Tuesday

Sharon B at http://pintangle.com/2014/09/23/take-a-stitch-tuesday-131-beaded-lock-stitch/ shares instructions for the Beaded Lock Stitch.  I am a sucker for beads so I love this stitch.  I used Petite Very Velvet thread by Rainbow Gallery.  It is fairly thick thread and I was delightfully surprised how easy it was to stitch with it.

It looks great. Some velvet, chenille and similar threads LOOK thick but are actually very thin in the core. It is wonderful to make complex looking stitches with such easy to use threads.
The blueberry fabric makes my mouth water!

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/
