That's awesome. The slow stitching is pretty much anything I want - that's why I love it. Sometimes I do it before the quilting, and then it can be more intricate and is essentially embroidery. In those instances, I may use an embroidery hoop but if I can get away from it, I don't. I find that they are just in the way. The trick is not to embroider tightly. If I stitch through a sandwich then I generally keep it simpler. If it's a running stitch, then I just use replace that instead of quilting and go through all of the layers but anything fancier doesn't have to go through all the layers if I don't want. As you can see, I love doing my own thing and not care about rules except when they suit me :-) Take care.<br /><br />Andree G.

It just can't be rushed, so you may as well enjoy it or do something else :-) Take care.Andree G.

Is it more like hand quilting with embroidery threads and decorative stitches, or more like embroidering through a quilt sandwich? Do you wear a thimble and/or use a hoop of any kind? What kind of needle and thread do you use? Do you use the same rocking stitch as traditional hand quilters, or do you have to stab one stitch at a time? I LOVE the impact of those hand stitches and beads. Gorgeous and yes, very calm -- your colors remind me of driving through a dense fog for hours, and finally coming out of the fog and into the sunshine.Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214091162157757315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891791406203329867.post-39697801610068425382021-01-13T07:04:15.156-05:002021-01-13T07:04:15.156-05:00This is beautiful and very calming to look at.
