Slow Stitching Sunday


 It was a beautiful week here in Southern Ontario.  I made the most of it and enjoyed some stitching time on my deck.  Who knows how many more times I will get to do that this year.  I am adding this mandala to the finished pile.  Well, finished the fun part.  There are now 7 in the stack that still requires the finishing off of the back.  It isn't hard to do but it isn't fun so I do it assembly line style.  I was curious as to how many I had that were totally finished.  57!  57 mandalas totally ready for my show is amazing to me.   I have two that I am still working on and are close to finishing.  57+7+2=66

Originally I thought I would have 50 for the show.  The ideas have kept on coming and I feel confident the space will be full of colour.  Not only will there be 66 of my stitched mandalas but an installation of 400 of my paper mandalas.  I am also working on two collaborations with hopes of a third.  The collaborations have people painting spots on lengths of fabric.  I will embroider one of the spots into a mandala.  So far the participants are having fun with the painting part.

    That is such a pretty one, Angela! I love the combination of thread colors and sparkly beads. Is your show coming up soon?

    My part of Ontario is getting rain this morning, so no stitching outside for me. I was just thinking how much longer I will be enjoying the gazebo this year. I even got out a crochet afghan I started last winter as the evenings are getting cooler.

    Congratulations on achieving such a grand pile of mandalas. It is truly impressive.

    This particular mandala is very beautiful with all the echos - Y- and V-stitches are echoed in the buttons, and the colours of the fabric in the centre are reflected in the stitches.

    If I were there, I'd love to add a dot to your length of fabric!

I am not a gardener but I do love flowers.  It is so much fun for me to get out my macro lens and spend time photographing flowers up close and personal.  I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/

Slow Stitching Sunday

  I am on a scroll roll.  This is the second one I started this week.  I love the soft romantic feel of these pieces.  I love working with bright and cheerful colours but occasionally I have to play with a different set of colours.   These scrolls are coming together faster than I thought they would.  That also feels good.   Sometimes I need a project that can be completed quickly.
