Slow Stitching Sunday

 

I used fabric, thread and yarn scraps to create this tree.  It is kind of a hodgepodge but it works for me.  I used a pale thread to stitch it to the fabric base but now I am thinking a dark thread would be better.  Or possibly an outline of beads.  It needs something to give it more definition.

I will decide when I have all the trees done. I will have a better idea as to what is needed when I see them all together.

    Your hodgepodge tree works for me, too. So fun.

    I love all the fun scraps you put together for this tree! It makes me think of fall. Perhaps you're wishing for cooler weather?!

    I love how you created a tree out of a multiple of fibers! That’s creativity for sure!

    By using up small scraps and orts you have made a unique tree. I like it as it is. IF you want to darken the pale thread without removing it, you could whip it with a darker thread... It's a good idea to wait and see what, if anything, needs to be done.

    I really like this tree. If the colors are true in the photo, it makes me think of Autumn.

  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/
