A New Project

I have decided to participate in Take a Stitch Tuesday which is currently on Stitch #51 (Buttonholed Herringbone).



I am also planning to do stitches 1-50 while doing 51-100 so, fingers crossed! Here is Stitch #1 (Fly Stitch).



I took an on-line workshop on keeping a Studio Jounal from Sharon of pintangle a couple of summers ago and she has just rebooted one of her other websites, In a Minute Ago, to blog about journaling. She is a great teacher so if you've ever wanted more info on this topic check it out.

The Diva Challenge this week is to explore the tangle ING. I had used it in a previous challenge but not routinely in my art so I decided to try a sampler of fillings for the triangles formed in this tangle. I enjoyed the process although the result is not my favorite. But that's art!

    Samplers are a great idea, especially when it's something you're not familiar with. I'll have to remember that!

    I love all your variations of ING. The use of different colors for each of them really makes them stand out on their own. Beautiful work!! And I love your stitching. I used to do some embroidery way back when and I've got tons of embroidery thread that I got when my Grandma passed away years ago. Now I'm thinking maybe this is something I should take up again. Ummmm, not sure how I'll fit it in, but it's worth a try. I love seeing your work on this. I'm going to check out that website and see if I can get started on it too.

    If you're ever coming over to Sonoma County, let me know and I'll see if I can meet you somewhere.

      We do get up to Sonoma occasionally. Will let you know when we plan our next trip. There is a great chapter of the Emroiderers' Guild of America in Santa Rosa if you ever want to check them out.

    The stitching looks like fun. A sampler tile is nice to have sometimes. Your Ing looks like that :)
