Slow Stitching Sunday

 


I have been working on this piece for many years.  I feel like it is finally finished.  I have completely enjoyed working on this piece.  I only use the last bits of thread that are on a needle.  I often have a bunch of needles like that on my desk.  When the pile gets big enough, I set to using up the thread on this piece.  I so enjoy this process.

This is the second piece I have done like this.  It is so fun for me that I  have another one waiting in the wings.  I 'paint' the background with oil pastels.  They take a long time to dry, so I did one last year in anticipation of this one being finished.  Even still, I am sure that some oil pastel will come off on my hands when I start working on it, but it won't smudge noticeably.

    Oh, look at that! This one is a favorite of mine to see when you share it. Such pretty color and details. I like your idea of using up leftover bits of thread that you have on the needle. I should try that!

    Such a pretty piece. It's interesting to me that you have so many different pretties to work on through the years.

    Congratulations on a great finish.
    I like your technique of finishing up the thread end that is left from another project.
    Did you iron/press the pastels with a sheet of kitchen paper towel as a blotting paper?

Slow Stitching Sunday

 How did it get to be December!  I really meant to fill in the big gaps in my November slice!  I still might.  We will see how it goes.  I got a lot of other stitching done in November so I guess that distracted me from this project.  There is only one slice left to stitch on this project and I find myself jumping ahead to next year. I wonder if I want to do another monthly project like this for next year.  I like having a monthly project.  I might consider doing a mixed-media instead of stitching.  Not that I couldn't incorporate some stitching into that though.  I have no clear idea at this point and that's okay.  I have to get through the holidays!   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/

  I am still working away at attaching my circles to this piece.  I have added some other stitching as well.  I am very keen to add some beading to this one but that must wait.  Beading needs to be the last step.  I don't need the frustration of my threads getting snagged on the beads.   Progress can feel oh so slow.  Especially when it is because I am distracted by other projects!
