Take a Stitch Tuesday

The Italian knotted border stitch is the stitch Sharon B at http://pintangle.com is featuring this stitch this week.  I have not done this stitch prior to this.  I am grateful that it is a stitch that I can comprehend.  The last couple of stitches in this series just looked too complicated to me so I didn't even bother trying them. I have no desire to overwhelmed by an embroidery stitch.  That may sound like I do want to learn and improve in my stitching but that is not what I intend.  I love learning new things.

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

 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/
