With all of the body stress from the quilting marathons, today will be a good relaxing bit of stitching on those many Broken Dishes blocks I need. I am gleening thru my CW totes to use up the smallest pieces of scraps first. yes, they would go lickity-split cut from yardage - but where is the fun in that?
And after seeing so many starting to revisit an old friend - cross stitch - I just had to pull my supplies out, found a nice little pattern out of the many books I have, and just enjoy another leasurely thread art.
I'm sure somewhere in the week I will get the urge to get marathon quilting again, but for now I am slowing down. It is to be cold and wet, so the crockpot will go on to marinate the house with wonderful aromas as I work a little at the machine and little with needle in hand.
Sewingly Yours,

Oh boy....nothing better than a crockpot on a cold day. I’m going to end up with a pile of bonus triangles from the new scrap quilt I’m making. Maybe I’ll try that broken dishes block to use them.
ReplyDeleteI love the thought of getting to my scraps and using them. I will retire in April and hope to then set a bit of time aside for scrap quilting. I have not worked on a cross-stitch project for some time but have many I would love to do. Enjoy slowing down a bit, I love to use my crockpot too!
ReplyDeleteCold and wet, perfect day to sit and stitch.
ReplyDeleteQuilting and cross stitching on a cold, gray day...absolute heaven to this girl. Happy sewing! --Andrea
ReplyDeleteNothing better on a cold wet day than to hunker down with a good project while the crockpot makes dinner. Can I come over if I bring dessert? Lol
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect day! It is 25 degrees here this morning, and I want to do the same - fire up the slow cooker and get to the sewing room.
