Slow Stitching through January

-
So far, so good. Stitched yesterday and today. Here is an update to my progress.




On this piece I have pinned on what I think will be my choices. I've started stitching the sections down with different thicknesses of thread in a variety of shades of cream to brown


I did a little work on this one as well. Filling up with lines of gray. In the mail today I received some more gray thread that I ordered so tomorrow I'll try some of that. 


Bev is binding her Cheri's Land Of Liberty Quilt. She finished it earlier in 2019 and is putting the finishing touches on it. I've seen it and it is spectacular!!!


Leigh is enjoying the meditative side of this slow stitch project.
Can't wait to see more as she progresses. I like the swirly circles a lot!


Teri from Washington is finishing a knitted shawl and is working on a Christmas needlepoint. She's saving up for a special trip so finishing is on the agenda for this year.

 Please share your thoughts and pictures so I can add what you are doing. I'd be so happy to see your progress.

Making A Life is a beautiful book. My daughter received it for Christmas and brought it over so I could look at it. I think I need it. It's written by Melanie Falick. It has comments and pictures of many different artists and how they go about their craft.

The Sommerset publications are also great for inspiration. I find them at Barnes And Noble.

Art, undeniably, is conductive to happiness.

Art and love are the same thing: it's the process of seeing yourself in things that are not you.

Keep on stitching...until next time, Betty

It was a good thing that my open studio was scheduled for the day it was because I just barely escaped the snow! It was a fun day and many friends stopped by to see where I love to sew. A friend who I hadn't seen in years, Joy, came and I was so happy to see her again. When I owned The Quilting B, the best thing about being there was all the new friends I made. I probably would never met many of you if it hadn't been for those years! Thanks! Here are a few of the pictures from that day. Ellen came with her project and it is beautiful! My neighbor, Monica is helping me have a great time! Along with the stitching, it is a time to make more friends and to know each other a little better. Our dog, Oscar, loves to be with people. Jean and Julie are keeping on task! And then it snowed!!!! Yard art! But the dogs are happy inside. When Oscar walked outside when it was icy, he would walk along the top and the...

I guess if I'm going to get anything else written before 2013, I'd better get at it. Earlier this month Loren and I went to downtown Portland and watched the Tuba Christmas. It was held at Pioneer Courthouse Square and was beautiful. Listening to that many tubas outside was wonderful. It was a little misty and a bit cold but all crowded together, it wasn't bad. I love the old courthouse. Tried to get the flag billowing out, almost. It is such a beautiful old building. We don't have many buildings like this, we tear them down and make something new. nice tree...great back view of someones head! After watching for a while we went to.... Besides the greatest smelling cigars, they sell their wonderful cigar boxes. I was looking for a perfect one to give my daughter with a scarf that I knitted for her. Of course, I found one and sorry I didn't take a picture of it. It is black and just perfect for her. Score!  A little l...
