Take a stitch Tuesday Crested Chain stitch


Thanks to Sharon B at http://pintangle.com/ for the instructions for this stitch.  It looked a bit tricky so I started out on a scrap fabric.  I felt like I got the hang of it so I moved to a crazy quilt block.  I am not totally sure that I have done it right.  But being a free wheeling kind of gal I am going to go with it.  It may not look perfect but it doesn't look horrible.  Today  practice letting go of perfectionism!

I have yet to get started. It does look like a complicated stitch, but I will try to 'go with it' as you say. Actually I think it might be a good filling stitch worked tightly together, then any small irregularity would not be noticed, ha, ha!

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/
