Crazy quilt block


 This block is just plain fun for me.  The mermaid tail has just the right amount of shimmer to make me happy.  The colours are my go-to colours.  I do try to branch out from my preferred colour palette but that seems like an exercise in frustration.  I am rarely happy with the result.  I actually prefer to do that sort of exploration with my paper mandalas.  The disappointment isn't quite as tragic as the time invested isn't as substantial.

I see what you mean about making mistakes and being disappointed with fabric creations vs paper dito. I, too, would rather make a mistake on paper than on fabric.

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/
