WIPW - The Instrument of Torture!

 For Work In Progress Wednesday I made a little progress on the 

Mandala

by making ten more buttons. 

I have not yet decided how many more buttons I need, nor how I am going to group them on the Mandala.



Sunday Stitch School Stitch Sampler

got a large and a smaller  #187 Catherine Wheel Stitch.

I can not help thinking of the suffering this instrument of torture is a symbol of. I wrote at length about it here.

I hope to add a much more cheerful circular stitch next week!

But you are 'doing' things Queenie. By just the act of doing you are discovering, even if it isn't what you thought it might be.

I'm sure there are many more cheerful circles in the offing!

I really like the fabrics you are using for the buttons.

Catherine wheels are pretty, I didn't know how it got it's name though.

Ha-ha! If you hadn't written that post I guess all of us would just think the wheels are colorful and pretty!

I simply can't invite that wheel of torture into my thinking when I stitch. I do love the way it looks as it makes a great start for a mandala. Glad to see you made more progress on your mandala.
