Slow Stitching Sunday


 So much fun!  I am working on my challenge piece for the San Francisco School of Needlework's bright challenge.  I do love working with bright colours.  I am doing an underwater theme as I think that works really well for brights.  I am using some of my hand dyed threads and I am trying to incorporate some new stitches.  I want lots of texture in this one.  I have made a lot of progress in just one week.  There's nothing like a new project to get me excited!

That is really beautiful, Angela! I haven't tried stitching on dark fabric yet, but I love the look of it. Do you make up your own designs as you go, or do you draw them out ahead of time? I love the underwater theme!

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/
