Slow Stitching Sunday
This is my year-long project. I want to learn and practise some stitches. I thought using an even weave fabric would help me. Turns out my stitches are still wonky. Mostly, I am okay with that. I had thought the even weave would make me neater but nope. That just isn't who I am. I believe I can create beautiful things even with wonky stitches.
Isn't that the beautiful thing about ageing? At least, for me, I am becoming freer and more accepting of myself and others. After all, perfection is rarely all that interesting. This project is about learning and growing, not perfection.

What a neat idea for a year-long project, Angela! I have seen other stitchers working on similar projects - a wheel cut into 12 sections, one for each month. That's a really tempting project for me to try, too! I'm with you on the wonky stitches - that's just who I am!
ReplyDeleteI think I am wonky too, and personally like wonky! Great work!
ReplyDeleteI thought your stitches were pretty straight! It’s going to be interesting to see this piece develop.
