Welcome to the weekly hand stitching party!
I don't have much of a stitching update to show, since I'm still slowly hand quilting my Friendship Album sampler.But I wanted to share some hand made glass treasures that I found on a recent trip to Montreal.

I thought I would spend time hand stitching but I became captured by the amazing tile work I found. Imagine these artists picking up every little piece of tile (like we do scraps of fabric or bits of wool or beads) and placing it into the mosaic in just the right place to create the image. It fascinated me.
And now it's back to reality and my own hand work project. There will be no glass work for me, just my needles and thread!So what are you hand stitching today?
Link up your blog post or your instagram below and share what you are working on.

Pretty colors in Friendship Album block. The glass sculpture must be famous. I'd be a wreck handling it. Artistic mosaics. Thanks for sharing.
Those headstone mosaics are beautiful. Your comment on the artists being nameless though is a reminder for us to always sign what we do as someone may wonder someday.
love those mosaics they are so pretty
Beautiful works of art and very interesting.....never have seen in a headstone before.
I have a fabric mosaic I need to work on today... your mosaic tile artworks are truly inspirational.... as is that sun... how can they put all those pieces in just 134 boxes for storage too!!! And then remember how to put them all back as the author of the artwork intended!!!!
Thanks for the LINKY! Have a great week... Kathi
Loved seeing Chihuly's The Sun. I have seen many of his installations around the country - usually in gardens. This single piece draws focus in a different way.
I have a crazy artist cousin in Poland who makes these things. He makes stain glass windows for churches in the country.
Those mosaic headstones are amazing - so intricate! Thanks for sharing them, Kathy!
My only handwork this week is putting hanging sleeves on two quilts, and working on putting little labels on a couple of table runners for the fair. The Sun looks like a Chihuly piece.
Love those mosaics, they are gorgeous! And The Sun is amazing. Thanks so much for sharing!
Gorgeous mosaics. Yes, I'm always amazed at the artistry with no credit to the artisans who did it.
The glass sun is very beautiful as are the mosaics! Isn't it a shame the artist is unknown. It does make me realise how important it is to label my quilts.
So nice block and beautiful fabrics you used. The mosaic art is amazing, and so is the glass sun. :-)
Thank you for sharing such inspirational pictures! I played with the idea of working with tiles....then went quickly back to fiber arts! It is so lovely though! Your quilted hand pieced quilt will be lovely I'm sure!
Hi Kathy thanks for sharing that art work. I'm going to see some art in Montreal at the end of the week and will look for The Sun. It really is stunning!
I love those mosaics!
