Whole Cloth Crazy Quilt


 I think I have all my 'seams' are embroidered.  I have started adding to the seams to make them more complex.  This is a really interesting exercise for me.  I am debating on whether or not I should add beads to the seams.  There are no beads on the mandala which is the focal point.  I feel like beads on the seams would take away from the mandala.  But then my piece doesn't feel complete without some beading.  Possibly I could add beads to the mandala.  That might be the best solution.

How about adding beads to the edges of the mandala. Would that tie the two areas together?
The seams against the black background are striking.

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/
