Slow going this week working on my linen quilt. I'm trying to avoid repeating designs that I've already done, so I tried experimenting a bit, with mixed results.
For some reason when I slow stitch I like to work very densely in complicated patterns, but I need to rein that in and do some lighter stitching or this quilt is going to weigh a ton. This block was me indulging myself a little, and then going airy and simple around the densely stitched area.
I'm doing a little better with creating even French knots, so I added rows of them between my feather stitching on this patch. It's only so-so. If I don't use this stitch because I'm afraid of it I'll never master it, but it still makes me very anxious.
