Slow Stitching Sunday


This slow stitching project is nearing completion.  I may or may not be able to use it in my book.  I am definitely hoping to.  The riot of colour makes me so happy.  I had some pleasurable stitching on this piece this week.  I gathered together all the needles that had bits of thread still in them from other projects.  I purposed to use up every last bit and that is what I did.  I also added some more beads.  As I look at this piece I don't see any area that needs further work.  Maybe I should just call it finished.  What will be my next project?  There are definitely many waiting in the wings!

Your embroidered piece is quite stunning, I love the stitching and beadwork. If it doesn't make it into your book i could see framing it.

That is a very happy piece of art! It's interesting when a project announces that it's
"done". Merry Christmas Angela!

It is always a joy to see this piece. It is dazzling to my eyes! I love that you keep the thread in your needles and use up every little skerrick. I would never have thought of that. But then, I suppose with all the amazing little stitches here and there that you imagine, it makes perfect sense to do so. I too, wonder what you will next showcase to us. I have no doubt that it will be both magical and exquisite. Have a beautiful wee, beautiful lady.

It's lovely - reminds me of an Impressionist painting.

What a lovely piece Angela. I'm sure that you'll find a good home for it, either in the book or elsewhere. I love that you used up all of your bits of thread in your needles :-) Take care and I hope that you have a great holiday season.

The colours are so beautifully spread out in this piece, great balance.
What an interesting way to work, I will have to try that for a free form embroidery, using up what is left in any needle.

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/
