For an unknown reason I was forced to use a new format for our link up today. I have no idea if this new coding is going to work or not. I've enjoyed using InLinkz to host our weekly link ups but this new format is not user friendly, so if you have suggestions for another service, please email me or leave me a comment below.
Today I am piecing a quilt block by hand. I joined the Hand Piecing Quiltalong and have finished 5 of the 9 blocks (see my finished blocks here). It is very relaxing and I have enjoyed the blocks I've made so far, but haven't been able to keep up with one a week since I have many hand stitching projects on the go.I finished the binding on a quilt this past week and that was 197" of hand stitching. Today I'll be back to my hand piecing and hope to finish another block.
What are you hand stitching today?
I hope you will be able to link up your blogpost or instagram below and share your progress with us. If you have any difficulty, please let me know... not that I can help you to solve the problem, but it will help me decide if I need to switch to another service.
You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

Love the fabrics in your hand sewing block. The new link up is being used on several other blogs. It's like anything else, works fine, just need to get used to it. Happy Stitching today!
I too love the fabrics in this block. It can be difficult to choose a hand stitching project from the many one is working on, isn't it. Thank you for the link up, Kathy, it worked fine.
Beautiful fabric choices for you block. I use Mister Linky for my 15 minutes to stitch linky parties. It's worked well so far, but I've not used there photo linky in many years.
this is the new form that a lot of others have been using on their link ups now for the past month it works just fine for me and find it easy to use on this end
I love the fabrics in that block. I had no trouble with the link-up. I did have to refresh your page in order to see that my link-up was successful, but that certainly isn't hard to do.
Your hand piecing is so lovely--Mr. Linky cooperated just fine...;))) hugs, Julierose
Lovely blocks you have hand pieced, it's my preferred way to make a quilt though it does take much longer than sewing by machine.
Your quilt is lovely. I really admire hand piecing. today I am hand quilting and working on a redwork project. Handwork is really wonderful and so rewarding!
I love your fabrics in the Hand-Pieced QAL!
I am stitching in the car today. I’m using my new counted cross stitch bag to carry my supplies. Your hand pieced block project is coming along. Pretty block this week
Your hand-pieced block looks so pretty in those colors! Happy Slow Stitching to you today, Kathy!
Congrats on your hand-piecing. I find it so difficult to sew a straight line by hand!
Other than having to create a password, the new link format worked OK.
