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.

NotForgottenFarm is another great site to look at for inspiration and she is on Etsy also.

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

Camping in the Rain

 Hello Everyone,  We went camping at Barview Jetty a little while ago and it rained almost all the time we were there! On the way it was necessary to stop here at our favorite fish shop! Best shrimp, sauce, and clam chowder that we have found.  Excellent. We went there on the way to camp and on the way home. Even thought it rained so much, the clouds were spectacular. The sand had some cool patterns We had friends that camped next to us and we ate really well.  Some reading and stitching were also part of our days. A couple weeks ago we went to McIver park to camp. Again it rained almost the whole time we were there. Same friends kept us entertained and we continued with our eating really well. This is a reflection in the lake of the sun trying to come out. Mamma ducks and babies were enjoying the break in the rain. We have found out that our beloved Oscar has Prostate cancer and Cushings disease. It's a sad blow as we lost both our Silkies last year. We don't know how long we

Coming out of hibernation

 I decided it was time to bring my blog back to life. I thought about it for some time and decided it would be so nice to connect with friends again even if it's just with words. I have mostly enjoyed being at home and catching up with reading and sewing. My Etsy shop is doing well and I would like to share some of the things that are currently available.                                        I bought this tin in The Netherlands when I was recently there visiting my daughter and her family. They took me to a very cool old antique shop and they have Lots of tins. The shop had so many things that I would have liked to take home. But Not possible. This is another one! It's been fun finding things to put in the sewing boxes. They are listed in my Etsy shop thequiltingbshop.Etsy.com There are lots of size 12 Valdani Thread available too. A few of the ones that I just listed I brought home some beautiful French floss that is paired up with some wool squares and some that are listed
