It's been a hectic week since last Wednesday. For the Work In Progress Wednesday report, I have worked on the
Mandala
where I completed the centre circle. Do you remember the railway braid I added last week?
The outer 'rail' follows the edge of the circle, but the inner 'rail' is too large (as the circle is smaller a bit away from the edge).
So I pulled each section tight by stitching it down further in from the edge and adding a golden bead.
I also added little floral-shaped sequins and anchored them with a small blue bead.
The circle is now complete:
I need to add something more to the Mandala.... but what?
Hexablooms
I made another set of hexagon blocks. Nine are complete, but the last one has only three out of six petals, so this week's count is 9 3/6. I will finish it tomorrow.
Some of the remnants I used for these bocks are from my childhood. My mother was an accomplished amateur seamstress and made some very beautiful garments for me.
The orange and yellow is a small scrap of cotton left from when I made a casual summer coat in the early 70's.
Once the purple 3/6 petals are complete, the total count will be 140 flowers.

Even with a hectic week, you made a lot of progress. I really like the orange hexagons!
I'm sure you'll work out what the Mandala is asking for - although it looks delightful just as it is!
Are you going to put seed stitch in the other three setions facing the middle? If you are I would wait until these are completed before I added anthing else.
Your mandala is gorgeous!
And I love the orange and yellow hexabloom, it looks super mixed in with the other hexablooms.
