I moved from this project to that project and back again. Trying to finish up some UFOs and started something new. Can't ever resist starting something new. Here are a few images....

Determined to finish this wrapping cloth started in one of Karen Ruane's first embroidery classes. Added some embellishment to this panel.

And....a few of you asked how I was managing to control all those loose threads on my bobbin lace piece, so here's a picture. The threads are temporarily wound around four large pins stuck into the pillow. The nightmare will be untangling them and braiding them into the trunk of the tree when the lace work is finished.

You motivate me with all these unfinished pieces. You have great discipline to push on and finish. I love looking at all your projects. Now I must go work on something. Thanks for the motivation.
I always love your enthusiasm to investigate something new, to try things out....lovely work here Deanna
Well, you've got the threads well under control for now, anyway!
Despite my brain telling me that the green bumpy bits in the first photo were actually fabric, I wanted to believe they were jewels. Love it!! And I'm still royally intimidated by all those bobbin lace threads....
looks like the loose threads are under control right now but I agree untangling is a total nightmare,good luck Deanna! love both the flextangles. The green fabric you've used for the bumpy bits in the first pic is beautiful..
just love those flextangles
Love the stained glass look of those first bumpy bits! The lextangles reminds me of a few manipulated-foldable pieces I've seen recently.
Love week of work Deanna
I had a lovely weekend thank you Deanna and it is good to start the new week by coming into Feedly and finding your summary of your creative week. I am particularly fascinated by those flexicubes. I have seen them before generally but I love your stitched versions.
so much creativity you have going on here it all looks so intricate
Oh, something new for me - the flextangles - very nice. Your bumpy bits are so beautiful. I love the green colour - the bobbin lace with a million threads - you have your occupation with unwinding one day. Did you already look at: https://textiledreamer.wordpress.com --- the newest post about a Brugge museum?
Funny, your first UFO makes me think of planets floating in outer-space. I like the variegated chain stitching. If I had to untangle all of that, my tree would remain forever trunkless.
It's all so wonderful! But there's something about the wrapping cloth that I love so much....
Oh no, don't stop starting something new! But finishing ufos is satisfying too. Love that piece with chain stitch. The green lift it right up - Hugs Nat
