My progress on the purple
themed crumb blocks...8 more blocks to
finish before adding
separator strips
in lavender...
********************
I had thought I was going to do the next
Slow Stitching for Roxy's
Journal of Stitchery--
But if you look here on
my design wall below:
[click to enlarge]
↧↧↧↧
On the right, you can see the Slow Stitch
fabric snippet roll I made a
couple years ago...
This next 6 month's stitching is
just really a larger version of
a garden snippet roll---
and I had enough
trouble putting this one together
as I recall ;000
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
And on the left is my next UFO:
My Mourning piece for my
Mom and Dad's Passing...
❤
Mom has been gone for 7 years
now (I cannot believe it!!)--
and it is time to finish
this one up.
It is all hand stitched--
and free cut...
even the squares are hand
stitched together--
It took me about 3 years
to add the embroidery which symbolizes
their passing (two hearts on the bottom
left with rootlets growing into the earth.
I kept having to put it away as
it made me SO SAD...)
AND
My moving on into the
Circle of Life on the top right..
❤
I used a lot of the methods I learned
in an online class with Jude Hill...
So....
I want to back this and hang it in
my sewing space....
Next up is to find a suitable backing...
*******************
I have also set up a Rainbow Glue Book
for myself as I find this work so
relaxing and I
L💙ve
to cut paper and glue...
AND IT IS EASY!!!:))))
I used a simple composition
notebook, gluing two pages together
and sealing them with Washi Tape
for strength...
Below is that result:
A rainbow of colors along the
edges denoting
what color images to glue
on each page--
There are
three pages for every color--
but blue has four
💙💙💙💙
(I Love Blue )
And the back pages will be
Black & White Images...
*******************
So, between the above projects
and my Garden Embroidery
(I am waiting for some
needles to come in the mail
to begin)
I should have more than enough to
keep me busy....and give myself
the variety I need to choose
from every day...
***********************
I hope your New Year is going well,
we loved the holidays, but are happy to
get back to what passes for normal
around our House on the Hill...
