While people are visiting and enjoying family time, why not pick up your needle and thread, and make some progress on your projects.I just finished another embroidery block for the Gail Pan BOM. This photo shows my favourite embroidery needle a size 10 Jeana Kimball needle. These needles come in a handy portable tube that are easier than the card system that needles are usually attached to. These needles are comfortable to use, and easy to thread with embroidery floss.
Last Sunday was a little Slow Sunday Stitching reunion. I met up with Sandra and Gail at a quilt show in Simcoe, Ontario where we enjoying seeing a few of Sandra's beautiful quilts. Here we are in front of one of Sandra's amazing quilts. This is called "Down the Rabbit Hole" (pattern by Sarah Fielke). It's hand appliqued and hand quilted, and has many delightful details with fussy cut fabrics, and quilting designs. It was a wonderful and inspiring visit and Gail came up with a great idea to have a "Slow Sunday Stitching Stitch In" day and I'm starting the planning process for that. Stay tuned for details as they become available.
And especially to my Mom who is a real life hero who managed to "do it all", raising 4 kids, running a home, working full time, and at the same time getting a university degree to keep the family financially viable...and managed to maintain her sanity AND do some hand stitching along the way!
Here are some photos of my daughter wearing clothing made by my Mom... a sweater on the left and a smocked dress on the right.
Thanks MOM/Nana!
Now what are you hand stitching today!? Link up your project below...

Thanks for mentioning the needle you use for embroidery. I've noted it and will look for it. I've been jumping all over the place with my needle choices.
