Keeping busy and Zentangle fun

Hi It has been a bit. I have spent these wintery cold days designing and stitching. I just completed a thread painting course with Tanya Berlin. It was great! her instructions and feedback are high quality. Here is the finished piece:

I also completed a piece for Inspirations 11 X 11 Competition:

Last June, I took a Zentangle course through EGA. I really enjoyed it. It took patterns from Zentangles and added paint and embroidery. I have been working on a creative journal where this has been my focus - one zentangle a week. I have recently been making them for some challenges. The Embroiderer's Association of Canada has a Fibre tile challenge and I created

I created two ATCs for an exchange with Virtual Threads - the online cyber guild through EAC

and this little project

So, you can see I have been keeping out of trouble. My last little bit of news for now (and I have manage to keep a secret since September) is I will have a Hardanger design in Inspirations again. I feel very fortunate to be contributing again. The design will be in Issue #86 - out around May. Hopefully Spring will surface soon. I love the longer days...Spring must be close Happy Stitching! Kim
