I haven't yet decided if the front of this little pillow is finished. 

The white space is asking should I add web stitches there.

Whilst I decide I have pinned the reverse with ribbon and prairie points.

These will be secured with more hand embroidered French knots.

I made a decision on which ribbon to use after this post.

French knots and prairie points have been added and the next step? more ribbon?

I'm not sure.

I am tempted to add web stitches to the space around the patchwork motifs but that's as far as my thinking has gone. 

(this piece will be a pillow, a gift.....I hope they like it)

Do you remember this post?

I was marking and cutting out patchwork pieces for a new project. 

This is where I am now with that embroidery/patchwork.

Two floral patchwork pieces have been attached to one side of a silk dupion panel and now it's decision time for ribbon/trim to lie alongside that.

More embellishment will be added to the right hand side of the panel once the ribbon has been secured with hand stitch.

Hi, you may remember that I taught a Meditation Stitching course this summer. It was a great experience, and I'll be repeating it (in French!) at the end of November.

Getting Ready

I know that I have a lot of time to get ready, and that this is probably another great way of procrastinating, but I've prepared this lovely piece to show at the course.

Joyful

There isn't anything very about doing mindful stitching. It's all about taking the time to be creative, to set a few parameters around what you want to do, and then ...
