Whole Cloth Crazy Quilt


 I am still working on embroidering the basic 'seams' on this piece.  In the upper right, I am doing some bullion stitch.  I really should count the wraps so that I get the zig-zags consistent.  Such a good idea, why did I not think of it right away?  I guess I am just not that particular.  It goes against my nature to be knit picky.  Art-making needs to be a joyful experience for me.  Other people do precision very well and I enjoy and respect their work.  I have no need to do something similar.

The stitches stand out well against the dark foundation.
Enjoy the freedom of stitcing the way YOU like.

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/
