I am still house cleaning and winterizing, but I want to join Kathy's Quilts with some slow stitching today. Maybe I can mix the two as I need to finish up the winterizing with this 'Polar Vortex' coming in. But I will need to take a breather here and there - so I can sip some Java or Tea and add some stitches.
And it may not be handwork, but I would like to get my geese units done, too. I haven't done much machine sewing all week so maybe a few little units will keep my machine from being lonely.
I will be sure to take a stroll or two outside, too. My furries would love for me to walk with them - I have terrorized them too many day with the vacumm.
Will you slow down today?
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

Can't even think about winter when our temperature is soaring over 86*F as summer approaches!
Slow but social -- church then a birthday party for a three year old at our former next-door neighbour's home, had a lovely long chat with the new owners of our much loved former home!
Very little stitching has been happening here -- some machine sewing in a three hour class last Monday and a couple of hours of hand sewing (English paper piecing) at a quilt group meeting on Thursday. Hopefully the lack of sewing will change with WM's return to work tomorrow after annual leave -- presumably a more normal routine will return, at least until Christmas comes! LOL
Such lovely projects. The red work design is sweet ...will remind us of warmer days to come long after this cold winter that is on the horizon. Love the house project!
Beautiful and also I am chuckling after reading Kathy's post in regards to how we all multi task ! :)
Your house project is going to be adorable. I look forward to seeing it finished.
Would you like to come and do my fall cleaning too? I think all of us are multitaskers ...I always seem to have too much to do and not enough time to do it all. Your redwork looks wonderful...I followed your stitching line from bottom to top! The house project looks great too. Have fun stitching today!
You sound very busy! Hope you can find some relaxing time today. I think your ideas are all great. Max and I will enjoy a relaxing walk later today too!
I like your redwork design very much. Hope you get some peaceful sewing time soon.
The Polar Vortex is back? Good time for sipping and stitching. Stay safe and warm.
I like your Jan Patek applique piece that you are working on. I have many, many of her patterns.
I felt the winter beginning to seep in yesterday. Your house block is wonderful.
We're getting our first freeze on Tuesday. Mike was out winterizing the RV-type toys yesterday.
The fairy on the swing is going to be so cute. I am looking forward to watching your progress. The little house block is pretty. I bet your own house looks great too with all that cleaning and winterizing. Getting all that done makes the stitching time that much sweeter.
It sounds like a perfect day for stitching - slow or machine!
Great projects. I actually did a little cleaning around here...a shocker I know. Washed some of my curtains.
OOh red work! Nice. Have a great day!
I have always loved house blocks. Salt box houses are a favorite. Still got the "construction girl" in me. ;)
Years ago I used to do counted cross stitch all the time...I bought a little kit in England last summer and that's my slow Sunday stitching today. :) blessings, marlene
So glad you could join us for some slow stitching!
Haha on the polar vortex! Love your pretty redwork -- will it stay that way?? :)
Continue to love your redwork and I love your house block. Sunday found me busy being a grammy and long arm quilting:)
I just read that your name was drawn TWICE for the Hexie book. Funny! Have fun with the one you kept. Nice, winter activity.
The house block looks great. Hope you were able to enjoy your slow stitching.
They weren't kidding when they said polar vortex where they? It's cold!
