One More Row to Go

It took another two weeks, but I finished embroidering another row of patchwork on the recycled linen quilt.

I can never resist taking a pic of the back, as it's just as neat as the front of the quilt.

I got stuck for a couple days on the center patchwork, and the feather-stitched circle I tried with the stitches changing direction with each new row. I felt as if I'd run out of ideas for the embroidery.

Slow stitch is mindful, and once I stopped worrying and just let the serenity of the process calm me, new ideas started coming to me.

To acknowledge the process I embroidered "Serenity is a state of mind" on the quilt. One more row of patchwork to embroider, and I'll be ready to bind the quilt.
