Stitch meditation w circles

Ive been spending so much time painting lately, stitch meditations have been neglected.     I did this one celebrating circles and the new thread I bought at local quilt shop.    I went in to buy needles with larger eyes so I can thread them more easily, but the ones with larger eyes are not very sharp.  I dont like having to force a needle through the fabric.   The owner showed me a lighter weight thread, a number 5.    Perfect.   And its variagated.   Very nice to work with.   And very expensive.    I like it so well I will probably pick up another color next time I am there.

Here it is.  Scrap from my sister in laws scrap basket plus some of my stash.
