Being random is harder than it looks …
Inevitably, I fall into a rhythm of stitching and before I know it, the stitches are anything but random.
But stars are random … or seem to be.
So I’m trying a new way of going, using a heat erasable marking pen that isn’t visible until it dries, making it somewhat easier to make random dots since I can’t see where I’ve already marked …
Not that I actually stitch each and every dot exactly as marked … ha!
So, one yard of star stitching down …
and an estimated 54 yards to go. It’s a good thing I’m having fun … for now anyway.

Wow! That is a lot of stitching to do!! I’m glad you are having fun. Your post reminds me about when I explored “random” a while back. I till think about that 🙂

Next time will you please show a bigger view too? I want to see the perspective all of those yards!

thanks for the suggestion … I’m going to have to be creative to supplement what will surely be a somewhat repetitive view of star stitching
and yes, I remember that post … so glad you linked back to it!

I do love the feel of Jude’s glue stitches after all is said and done

Joining back in after a week of re-establishing ourselves…I agree that some us have an internal metronome or something that just keeps us centering on order of sorts. I love where you are headed with these – they look spectacular and the intermittent stars really make me smile. Best to you as you tackle the next 50 or so yards!

and it struck me that 50 yards is half an American football field … yikes

“Random” is always hard for me as well.

I’ve decided I’m too close to the work right now … stepping away to see it from a middle distance helps immensely
