Slow Stitching Sunday


 This mandala/kaleidoscope is a collaboration with my sister.  I manipulated a photo and printed it onto some cotton fabric.  I sent it to my sister and she added some beading.  This piece has been languishing for years and I decided it is time for me to complete it.  I added the yellow beads that criss-cross the cabochons.  I am not sure what the next step is but I trust it will come to me.

That's a nice way to add beads to beads! I think I will use it to anchor and decorate plain buttons - if you don't mind me stealing your idea.

I like the beads anchoring beads. I will use that idea for fastening buttons, if you don't mind me 'stealing' you idea.

Dear Bubbles......that is a lovely piece and you are so lucky to have a sister to trade work back and forth. I like it that you know something will happen next but you don't know what it will be.

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/
