Slow Stitching Sunday


It is a cold, rainy, sleet, snow mix day.  Perfect for a sit and stitch day with Kathy's Quilts.  I am washing backing fabrics so I can do some sandwich basting, too.


I plan on working on this new cross stitch piece.   Someone gave me a couple of these store front patterns torn from 'The Cross Stitcher - 1994'.

I haven't framed the large 'Apples for Sale' piece yet, but I did get my three small ones done.





So pull up a chair and slow down,
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

They came out beautifully! I used to cross stitch like there was no tomorrow and I know how much work you put into these!

When do you find the time. That is so time consuming and you did an awesome job

Long bad weather winter and early spring certainly has helped us all with our stitching progress. I remember those cross stitch storefronts. Love your antiques barn.

Sharon I love your framed cross stitch pieces. A few years ago I bought one I found at a junk store for $1 and it became one of my treasured small quilts after I framed it. I use it as a table topper in my living room. blessings, marlene

I love the way you've finished off your pieces. I'm so impatient, I would never get that many done!

There are a lot of stitching crafts that I enjoy, but counted cross stitch is not one of them. I think that's why I enjoy seeing your projects so much. I really love the kitty. I'm sure one of your furry friends could have posed for that one.
