Work in Progress Wednesday

I managed to complete my three crazy quilt ornaments for my sons.  The green and white striped fabric was from a shirt from Dad.  The solid red fabric was from a blouse from my Mom.  I think using fabric from their clothes makes the ornaments special.  I think my sons appreciate that too.  I had so much fun doing a little class to teach my daughter in law, her sister and two of my nieces how to make these ornaments.  It was a lovely evening spent with some terrific young women.  My husband called it a party because he saw how much I enjoyed it.

Very beautiful. And using fabrics from your parents' clothes certainly make it special, in my opinion. Something to be treasured.
Happy New Year!

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

Image
 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/
