Slow Stitching Sunday


 This encrusted embroidery is such a fun playground!  My aim is to fill it with mainly circular stitches.  Of course, there have to be other stitches that fill in the gaps.  I am hoping to have very little of the base fabric showing.  I am not quite sure how I will accomplish that when I get close to the hoop.  I guess I will figure it out.  

May all your holidays be filled with joy!

I made a hoop "picture"once with buttons of various sizes and colours. When I got to the end I used French knots as it was easiest for filling in the tiny spaces close to the hoop.

Hi Angela, I knew that the colourful post was yours :-) I often don't quilt in the hoop, so you might consider taking it out and doing work that won't affect the tension. Have a great holiday season!

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/
