This week, after completing the latest TAST stitches, I concentrated on the first "Roll Your Own" mandala this week, completing the outline on February 1 and starting the colors the same day. I have to say, I really liked the look of that outline on the chosen fabric (Iris Garden, 32ct Lugana, from Silkweaver) and was tempted to leave it without the filling color!
Two hours a night is about all I can handle in Roll Your Own --- I'm finding that 32ct a little hard to focus on and I'm trying to minimize frogging. So this will NOT be a fast piece to be stitched...
I didn't accomplish much else in the way of stitchery this week. I'm still waiting for the fabric for the Elizabeth Almond "Save a Stitch" SAL (three installments are already published!) and there is the Crazy Quilt Journal block and the Bead Journal February ATC/ornament to do, so it's not as though I don't have alternate projects to take the strain off my eyes. It's more like I lack sufficient motivation to take up another piece after those two eye-straining hours...
