It has been forever since I have participated in  Take a Stitch Tuesday  with Sharon B.  I didn't do anything particularly clever with the stitch this week.  I do love the Long Tail Chain stitch though.  I was glad to have it brought back to my remembrance.

Slow stitching on this piece is a delight.  I am actually finding it a bit difficult to not turn this into a project that gets worked on very purposefully.  There is no deadline so need to push myself but I do find myself wanting to make progress.  I love the way it is progressing and I am eager to see it finished but I will not rush it.

I took my mandala a little further and like it much better now.  Not so much white space.  I think it is time to stitch and add beads and possibly a layer of tulle (thanks Queeniepatch!). I am linking to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com/

I have been working on a lot of mandalas the past couple of years.  I decided to do an altered book to house some of them.  This is the cover of that book.  I love combining altered books with stitching and beading.  I am linking to https://www.quiltfabrication.com/ https://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.com/ http://www.esthersquiltblog.com/

There is no such thing as a new idea. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. Mark Twain I am linking to http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com

Gosh, there is a lot of white here.  I don't like a lot of white in my pieces.  I like the mandala I have created so far with just surface treatments.  I definitely want to take it further with stitch but what do with all that white?  I am linking to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com/

I do a dementia-friendly art program in a long term care facility every week.  This summer we created painted flower quilt blocks.  One of the volunteers there very generously put the quilt together for us.  It is finished!  Isn't it fabulous!  My seniors are so very proud of themselves.  This quilt will now be raffled.  I hope they raise a lot of money!  I definitely plan to buy tickets.  I want to win this so I can include it in my trunk shows.
