Slow Stitching Sunday


 I finished up this mandala/kaleidoscope this week.  The silk fabric is printed with one of my kaleidoscope fabrics and therefore did not require a lot of stitching/beading.  I think I found the right amount.  I mainly used bigger sequins and beads as small ones would get lost in the busy pattern.

That is so pretty! The combination of fabric, stitching, and beading makes a lovely design. I bet the silk feels lovely when you're stitching on it!

There are so many beautiful parts on this mandala - the hearts, the shiny leaves and the colourless glass flowers - are they buttons?

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!

 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/
