Slow Stitching Sunday

 I think this whole cloth crazy quilt is finished.  There is a lot going on and it is time to stop.  This is my first attempt at a whole cloth crazy quilt.  Oh, actually that's not true.  I had started another one but I was using silk as the base and it was too flimsy.  I didn't get far on that one before realizing my mistake though.  This one is done on wool.  Definitely more sturdy but don't look too closely as the dog hair really sticks to it. I told myself no beads on this one.  I stuck to it but I was definitely tempted.  Sparkly threads were as glitzy as I got.  The butterfly has French knots done with a glitter thread that mimics beads.  I think I have all the seasons represented.  Nature is always inspiring. I learned much doing this and really enjoyed it.  I think I would like to try another one, bigger this time.  I have no specific inspiration at the moment.  I will wait until the right idea comes...
