Slow Sunday Stitching

It's time for some Slow Sunday Stitching!

 Take out your hand stitching project and enjoy some relaxation. Try not to think about your "to-do" list, or ruminate about your worries. Just take a stitching break, and focus on pulling thread through fabric, one stitch at a time. Breathe deeply and enjoy yourself!

This is what I am hand stitching today. It's so exciting to be nearing the finish line with a complex, challenging quilt project. For the first time, I attached the binding to the backing of a quilt so that I could hand stitch the edge on the front of the quilt. It worked out so much better than trying to hand stitch into the minkee backing. Binding is my favourite hand stitching activity, even when dealing with a minkee backing, so I am in my happy place today, if only for a few moments!
Go to your Happy Place!
I hope you are in your hand stitching happy place today!

    I always look forward to slow stitching on Sunday! I have never worked with minkie but great job thinking outside the box and making it work!

    it is always so nice to see what all the other hand stitcher's are up to - it would be so nice if this group could actually all be in one room chatting and snacking and having fun stitching away!

    That was such a great idea to do the binding that way to avoid the minkee! Enjoy your stitching today, Kathy!

    You will soon have a finish and maybe not feel as guilty if you succumb to one of the new stitch-alongs. I know you have been resisting doing that.

    Slowly drawing the needle and thread through the fabric is sew soothing. I enjoy binding also. ... :-) Pat
