Yep that's right, me not only slow stitching but loving it! I thought binding would be the easiest hand to do. If I didn't like binding I wasn't going to like any hand work at all. Oh was I wrong, I hated binding. I started hand embroidery and I just feel in love with it. I'm just learning so my stitches have a way to go, but I'm enjoying getting there. Today I'm working on my Squash Squad by Sue Spargo. Squash #4 almost done.
I started this summer when we were on a road trip to FL. Circle Sampler was my first project, but knew there was no way I could stitch 90 circles, just no. But I thought 16 was a reasonable number so I started with that. Sixteen was just about right. A little more than 1/2 way through I was getting bored, and started picking my favorites to do, then I started tweaking them....and you know how this goes right? I finished by needle case. A sampler of stitches, threads, yarns and ribbons.

Now maybe just maybe I'll start the Cathedral Doves II BOM from A Different Box of Crayons. Or maybe I'll work on the next squash and try to get more practice....It's nice to have choices.
Oh and tomorrow I'll have pics and details of the spool quilt that was finished, I need on of those!!
I love the squash project. I really like your needlecase too. I recently embroidered a couple of vintage bibs and I loved working on them. I know I will make more someday. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYour wool squash looks amazing! Good to see another convert to slow stitching. Gail at the cozy quilter
