Work in Progress Wednesday


 I am so excited to be trying something new!  I have been making crazy quilts for a long time and this week I learned something new!  I bought the ebook Crazy Quilting Volume 1 by Kathy Shaw.  In the book, she describes whole cloth crazy quilting.  Well, honestly that is right up my alley.  I love the handwork!  I got out this gorgeous piece of hand-dyed silk.  I have started applying the main motif which is tree done in silk ribbon embroidery.  Once I am finished with that I will start doing the faux seams.  I love learning new things!

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/
