Slow Stitching Sunday


 At the beginning of the year, I decided I would do a stitched tree every month.  The project sort of slipped away from me with others taking priority.  While looking for my crochet hooks this week, I came across these stitched trees.  I have created a number of them and they are perfect for this yearly project.  

I plan to make a twelve page journal with a tree per page.  The first few trees I have done are on silk.  That will not be sturdy enough for the beaded tree on the left.  I need to rethink things.  I don't mind adapting an idea.  It is good to change things up!

Happy Mother's Day

    Aren't those pretty?! I had to enlarge your photo so I could look up close. So many treasures in those trees!

    You have two beautiful trees there!
    I can see your problem of weight for the different pages. I hope you come up with a solution.

  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.
