A Little Slow Stitching

I decided against the large upside-down teardrop shapes on these flowers for Bramble Blooms 1, but that broad expanse was too broad and bare.  I'm trying these pointed oval shapes.  At just about an inch and a half in length, they'll be easy enough to remove if they don't do it for the flowers. 

I only discovered this music a year or so ago.  It is called "Spiegel im Spiegel" (which translates to "Mirror in the Mirror") and was written by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt.  Not everyone may enjoy the slowness, but for me it's perfect for an occasional Sunday of stitching.  I love it.



I hope you're having a peaceful Sabbath whether you're stitching or not.  And if you're in a cold climate, I hope you're staying warm!

I'm linking this post to Slow Sunday Stitching at Kathy's Quilts.  Thank you for hosting, Kathy.

      Thank you so much, Loraine. I've been playing with the next border options today but no decisions yet.
      I looked at your Blogger profile and saw that you're from Northumberland. Is that in the U.K. or somewhere else? I ask because I have ancestors who lived in various locations in Northumberland, U.K., in the 1800s.
      Also, do you have a blog? If so, what is the url, please?

    The music is so soothing.
    (And the ring on the cellist hand is delightful too!)

      Stitching.
      Oh, I'm glad you liked the music, Robin. And I agree, the cellist's ring is beautiful. Just perfect for a cellist to wear at a performance!
