Slow Stitching Sunday


 I am going to try a whole cloth crazy quilt again.  The gorgeous silk I tried with my first one was just too flimsy.   I have gone to the opposite end of the spectrum with this one.  I am using some sturdy black wool.  I have basted on a small mandala.  I am excited to start embroidering the 'seams'.  

It is my birthday this week and I ordered some beautiful threads to celebrate.  I deserve a little treat to brighten my spirits.  Lockdown is really getting old.  I think I will wait until the threads arrive so I can use them on this piece.

    Ooh....how exciting, Angela. I can only imagine where your imagination will take you with this new whole cloth crazy quilt. This is going to be such fun to see what you dream up. I am sorry you are still in lockdown. Hopefully your new threads will put a smile in your day when they arrive. May your birthday be a beautiful one, lovely lady. Happy, Happy Birthday to you❣

    This is a great technique, and I love the mandala, so many details can be seen in an enlarged version. A sturdy foundation will carry the weight of beads and 'bling' that you put on.
    Happy Birthday, the lockdown is NO fun, but when a birthday falls within it, you can be sure that you will remember it as a special day. Good of you to treat yourself to some beautiful threads.
    Many Happy Returns of the Day.

I am not a gardener but I do love flowers.  It is so much fun for me to get out my macro lens and spend time photographing flowers up close and personal.  I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/

  I am on a scroll roll.  This is the second one I started this week.  I love the soft romantic feel of these pieces.  I love working with bright and cheerful colours but occasionally I have to play with a different set of colours.   These scrolls are coming together faster than I thought they would.  That also feels good.   Sometimes I need a project that can be completed quickly.
