It has been a while since I slowed down and did some handwork. While I was in 'nurse' mode and busy with the quilt show, I did a lot of reorganizing and clearing. Seems I had more hidden under piles of work and fabric. So fabric put away or cycled into respective storage, patterns/books back on the shelves, and in-progress projects into kitted totes.
Then I found this stitchery I was doing so long ago - just needs the bit of backstitching done for a finish, so this is my sit and slow down project for today.
Please visit Kathy to see what others are slowing down with,
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon
For the first time in forever, I sat down and hand stitched a quilt backing this week. That's all the handwork I intend to do! LOL!! Love your little project here.
ReplyDeleteI have several cross stitch pieces that I started a long time ago. I really need to dig them out and take the time to get them finished one of these days. :0)
ReplyDeleteCross stitch can be very relaxing - especially when it is just the finishing up :) That's a sweet design. What will you do with it when it's done?
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I don't think I'll get much slow stitching done today because my niece is visiting and I have a Halloween costume to make but next week...
ReplyDeleteI found it very inspirational to get organized and a great way to get the ufo's done is to chose those that are close to being finished. Doesn't make you wonder why you just didn't finish it in the first place. Enjoy your stitches today!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely need to finish this beauty up. Enjoy your slow stitching!
ReplyDeletePretty! I pulled out an old Halloween stitchery that has some issues and I'm trying to get it done and hung on the wall.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to be so close to a finish! Love those beautiful scissors :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your stitching today. It is always good to be close to finished it motivates you to get it done when the end is in sight. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty this is..enjoy your finish! :)
ReplyDeletePretty stitchery . Enjoy your stitching day .
ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice to get a UFO done? I have a few that are very close to the end too and wonder why I just didn't finish them years ago--guess it's the distraction of something new to work on! Your little mercantile is very cute!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely piece and today is a wonderful day to slow down and appreciate the day.
ReplyDeleteAaaaah, your little mercantile stitchery is precious! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is such a lovely pattern, Sharon. It will be lovely when it's finished.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty little cross-stitch. Enjoy finishing it.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet cross stitch pattern. Looks like a fast finish. Enjoy your slow stitching time.
ReplyDeleteI like your "Sit and Slow Down" idea. Lovely stitchery and you will be thrilled when it is completed. Creative Stitching Bliss...
ReplyDeleteGlad you found this and that it will be finished very soon. It is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece Sharon!
ReplyDeleteVery nice and I so understand the need to organize at times. I did a little of that myself yesterday.
ReplyDeleteIt always feels good to finish a project!
ReplyDeleteI love that! Recently I have been drawn to framed samplers and cross stitches. So lovely.
