Slow Stitching Sunday


 I painted this dupioni silk a while ago.  I have now started stitching into it.  I have decided I will use only silk threads.  Can you say luscious?  Silk on silk, love it!  I have added many french knots in the lower left.  I am pondering what stitches will be next.  Do I continue with the stitches I know and use all the time?  Do I use this to practise learning new stitches?  I think new or rarely used stitches are in order.

This is lovely and I bet it will be beautiful whatever types of stitches you use on it. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Another gorgeous piece! I think I would try some new stitches! Have you heard of Sharon Boggan's Stitch Dictionary? https://pintangle.com/stitch-dictionary/ I was participating in her Take a Stitch Tuesday for several years. She shows you how to do a new stitch each Tuesday. Happy Stitching!

Oh I would say luscious....exquisite, too! Silk on silk works for me. =) I love the sound of new stitches on this gorgeous dyed silk. Knowing you, Angela, whatever new stitches you decide to play with, they will be fabulous. Have fun!

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/
