Work in Progress Wednesday


I love it when things come together!  I joined the crazy quilt journal project  http://cqjp2015.blogspot.ca/ again this year.  Probably did that out of habit as I didn't really have an inspiration for the year.  I just popped over there to grab the link and see that there are a number of people who have the January blocks finished!!!  The idea came to me yesterday to pull out the blocks that I inherited from my husband's Aunt Pat.  Aunt Pat and I had a special relationship and I was honoured when her daughter asked me if I wanted Pat's stitching things.  I have been wanting to do something with these blocks ever since I received them.  Although technically they are not crazy quilt blocks I intend to treat them that way.  It will add part of me to them.  I also plan to do circular bead journal projects for the center.

You have some really lovely prints there, so this will be a great looking block with your embroidery.

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/
