Take a stitch Tuesday

The Long Tail Chain is the stitch for this week.  Sharon B at http://pintangle.com/ gives great instructions for it.  I was thrilled to find the time to sit outside in the beautiful sunshine and stitch this pretty stitch.  I stitched a flower in pink rayon thread in the upper right of this photo.  I also stitched some peach buds along the feather stitch.  I want to add a bunch more as well but that will take a bit of time.  I thought I better get this posted now or I might not get to it all this week.
Life has been pretty busy lately.  Yesterday we, as in the Grand Guild of Fibre Artists, hung our show at the Mill in St. Jacobs.  It looks fabulous!  I am thrilled to be a part of such a diverse and talented group.  If you live in the area and can find the time to get out there, it is worth the drive.  The show goes until Saturday.

This stitch is wonderful for flowers, and can be combined with a lot of other stitches, too. I like the use of ribbon for the stems.

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/
