Slow Stitching Sunday


 This piece has so much yummy texture.  I am having a lot of fun with it.  The pink circle in the lower left is bothering me.  There is a bit more of that pink in the piece but that bit is trying to steal the show!  I think I need to add a bit more of that colour to keep your eyes moving.  

I have used some interesting papers on this piece.  Unfortunately, the pale pink piece in the lower right corner has ripped.  I will need to remove it.  That is the chance you take when using paper.  I thought the mulberry paper would have stood up better.  Oh well, lesson learned.

    Very pretty. The little pink circle doesn't bother me, but I think something is needed above the floral circle to keep the eye moving.

    Yes I agree, my eye went straight to the dark pink. Adding more will work. Looking good though. Sarah quilting by the sea

    Very pretty and interesting! Mixed media with fabric, thread and paper? I will have to read back a bit to see how this started. I like the how that pink piece contrasts with the background it's on. But you are right, if one thing is standing out to your eye, adding more tones it down greatly!

    This is so fun, Angela! I love how you've put the circles here and there with different fabrics and stitches. They are a neat contrast with the rectangles of the background!

    I agree with the comments above, add a few more circles of the same dark pink, maybe smaller or in the form of buttons or something shiny. It will help the eye travel round.

  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!

 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 enjoyed stitching my September slice.  I got out my book by Carole Samples Treasury of Crazy Quilt Stithes.  It has wonderful combinations of stitches.  I have had this book for years and never properly used it.  It uses basic stitches in interesting combinations. So, I didn't really learn any new stitches but I did enjoy combining stitches in new ways.  I might find that more helpful in the long wrong.   The weather has still been cooperative for stitching outside.  The week ahead looks good too.  I might get a jump start on my October slice.  It is sad to think about putting away the deck furniture but it can wait at least a week.
