Slow Stitching Sunday


 This mandala has inched a little closer to being finished.  The centre is a piece of sparkly vinyl which really caught the light in this photo.  Right now it is glued on but it might need something more to keep it in place.  If I do any stitching on it, it will have to be minimal.  It is thick and will be miserable to stitch through.  

I am not sure if I will get much stitching done today.  It is hot and we have water in our little pool so our granddaughters can come over and cool off.  Heck, I might join them if it gets as hot as they say it will!

    That is a pretty shade of purple, Angela! Getting in some nice cool water sounds good to me right about now, too.

    You COULD fasten the vinyl disc with shisha stitch. Or make four small holes with a stiletto and fasten the disc with a simple Straight Stitch for each hole.
    Make the most of the hot weather and take a dip in the pool!

    The sparkly vinyl looks like a cabachon!

  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!

 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.

 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/
