Take a stitch Tuesday


 The stitch that Sharon at http://www.pintangle.com/ has shown for this week is the feather stitch.  To be honest I don't really know what the difference is between it and the fly stitch.  They seem the same to me.  Can you tell I am not a detail person? 
Here I have used it on two seams of a crazy quilt block.  I used silk ribbon on the one seam.  I used a silk thread on the other seam.  I also added french knots to that one.

Interesting to see the stitch with different threads than what I usually use.

Hi Isabelle
No, it really wasn't difficult with the ribbon. I love working with silk ribbon!

Bead Journal for September

I feel like this has enough beading now.  The beading enhances the kaleidoscope without obliterating it.  I pushed myself outside of my box by using some bigger beads.  I am always learning!

Slow Stitching Sunday

Image
 Working on another wool mandala.  It is a pleasure to have the wool on my lap now that the weather has turned colder.  I started this project back in the summer and didn't enjoy working on it so much then.  I wonder if I can complete this project this winter.  There are fifteen wool mandalas to do.  It doesn't seem likely that I will.  I could be wrong.  I don't want to put any undue pressure on myself.  There is no deadline.  The spring might be cool enough to continue working on it.   My but I do jump into the future.  Slow stitching really helps me to be present.  I am so grateful that stitching is such a balm for my soul.  We all need to have something that does that for us.   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
