I have been 'feeling my way', a little bit of tentative stitching on the beginnings of my slow cloth. I'm finding I'm dithering a lot, probably overthinking the process. I think for me doing this cloth will be a lot about trial and error. About allowing the quilt to evolve (rather than being pre-planned to the n'th degree). I have done a little more stitching already this week, so next week should show more progress...I want to add more fabric elements.

Hi Jacky,
The slow cloth is looking really beautiful. I'll have to refresh my memory on how it was the last time we saw it, but I love the discharged grey cloth and the little trees and stitches. Very nice!
Is that a painted magnolia, or a collage piece. It's REALLY nice! You should scan these and make them into prints!
Your slow cloth is lovely! I really like the look of little snippets of cloth and hand-stitching. I look forward to seeing more of what you're doing. Very nice!

your magnolia is splendid and I adore what you are doing on your slow cloth! awesome!
yes, i love the little ghostly tree stitches.
I am really getting antsy to get back to my slow cloth. It really helped to see Jude's vidoe this morning. I relate to your dithering. It is looking great and I love your journal page.
Jacky dear, I love the stich-piece! xoxo
Your slow cloth looks wonderful Jacky I look forward to seeing it at our next show and tell. I've seen your journal and this is another great page.
I love your slow stiches. It looks very delicate. You are doing fine, going slow, just keep following your heart.
Yes Jacky...simplicity!
I like the stitching in the lighter areas of the green...are they patches of resist from dying?
Your cloth is looking wonderful!! I think that it might be hard for those of us who have done many swaps and thus have deadlines, to take things slowly and not overthink things!!! You are doing great things here- I love being able to look at the close up. Your work and yor referals to Jude's work have inspired me to start a Slow Cloth all in white!!
Big Hugs!

Lovely slow cloth! Starting anything new takes a little while before you get into a comfortable rhythm.
tentative seems to go well with the idea of a 'slow cloth'- it's a journey and it looks like you have a wonderful start :)
Lovely work on your slow cloth and your journal page is soft and beautiful... roxanne
Wonderful slow cloth, Jacky! I like to allow the cloth to evolve, too. It's so much more attractive, I think.

Hi, Jacky! Beautiful journal page! Good luck with your slow cloth! :-)
Love it! Both the slow cloth and the journal page!
The colors in the slow cloth are soothing, I bet the stitching on it is soothing to do as well!
Hi Jacky,
I love your stiching..and the colours you are using too...
Thanks for your comment..I enjoyed Patsy's art exhibit, and she sold so many of her pieces, she is ecstatic...
Cant wait to see you all soon.

Hi Jackie. Love your journal page! Good luck with the slow cloth, it's looking good!x
Your slow cloth is very beautiful Jacky and I love the colours you are working with. I am also finding the first tentative steps on my slow cloth are the hardest ... where to start ... how to progress. The actual hand stitching is very therapeutic. I love time it enables to think about things as a whole and put the world to rights. I also love your journal pages very much. I share a love of inspiration books with you. Have a wonderful week. Look forward to more slow cloth!
I love the work you are doing on your slow cloth. I have never heard of it, but it sure looks interesting. i also love your owls. I never used to but yours are so personal and friendly looking I can't help but fall in love with them. Thank you Jackie for this joy.
