Rahenna's project :)

Hi all, thanks for letting me join in this SAL. :)

My new start for next year will be Chinese Garden Mandala by Chatelaine. I've had the kit for a while now, almost since the time the design first came out, and I don't want it to sit and wait any longer! Here's a kind of "stock photo" of the design:


I'll be stitching it on a pale blue hand-dyed fabric that looks a bit like clouds. It's something subtle so it won't detract from the design, I hope. :)

Can't wait for January 1 now!

  1. That's a great design. I have a mandala on my to do list. Looking forward to seeing it come together. Do you dye your own fabrics or buy them already done?

    This is turning out to be a great group. We are going to have an awesome year!

    1. Hi Sarah, I don't dye my own, unfortunately. :) Which mandala do you plan on stitching?

  5. Oh my goodness! I just found the Alpine Garden mandala and I think it just moved to the top of my list LOL.I can see how those could become addictive. I may do several of them.

  7. Cool! I'm doing mine on a blue hand dyed as well but I think mines probably a darker blue than yours. Can't wait to see your progress!
