Another Button Finish

This mandala was done a while back but needed the edges finished.  I really do like using buttons to create a frame around a piece.  Methodically stitching on the buttons was rather mindless but just what I needed.  Plus, I wanted this piece finished for January.  I have been 'ASKED' to participate in a local show!  So delightful to be asked!  The first half of this year I had numerous declines.  I try to not let that discourage me but declines almost always cause some self-doubt. Over the summer I decided I simply need to stop trying so hard to get into shows.  That I will let things come to me and only apply to be in shows that don't have a lot of hoops to jump through.  This has been working well for me.  This piece will be at Martin Luther College for the show entitled Joy in January.

Hi Angela, That is a really lovely piece. It's great that you were asked to participate in a show. It must be hard to get declines...I haven't put myself through that yet. Maybe one day I'll have the courage. Right now I have my local group shows and that's enough for me! Thanks so much for liking up to Free Motion Mavericks. Have a great Christmas!

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/
