Inspired by - Carol Ann Waugh

From a book I borrowed called Stupendous Stitching, by Carol Ann Waugh, I was inspired to use machine and hand stitch together to make this Zentangle piece.  It was a bit of fun, since I have not really completely explored the decorative stitch patterns on the Sapphire the way I have the older Viking.  Keeping the pallet limited to golds and turquoise helped, so the only choices were the texture of the thread on the hand stitched segments.

Thanks to Sherry for encouraging the Freestylers to use our stitches in "tangling" ways, reminiscent of a zentangle.  And thank you, Jill, for loaning me the book!
