Stupendous Stitching

I worked keenly to get this small quilt finished this week.  I had been thinking I would put it in the quilt show at the School House in St. Jacobs later this month.  I have rethought that because it is based on a workshop, Stupendous Stitching, from Carol Ann Waugh that I took online.  Although I think I did some interesting things with this piece it isn't original.  I used my own hand dyed silk and that was a complete pleasure.  I also added beading and silk ribbon embroidery.  It is intentionally not truly square. I think I pushed the boundaries of the workshop to make this uniquely mine but still is a derivative of Carol Ann's work.

Stupendous stitching, indeed! Your quilt is beautiful. The silk you dyed is lovely and the beads and stitching that you imagined add beautiful interest. I think your quilt should be entered into a show....just to put a smile on the faces of those who gaze upon it.

Do the rules of the show state it has to be 100% your original design and work?
Whatever you do, you have finished a beautiful piece of work, and I think it is full of YOU.

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/
