Welcome to the weekly hand stitching party!
It's the last Sunday before Christmas so I know all you hand stitchers are busy finishing gifts and wrapping up gifts.
I have 3 items to finish in the next week. I'm not very worried about it as I am quite accustomed to giving half finished projects as gifts!!
(You can get this great stitchery pattern at Snarky Crafter Designs.)
I am still knitting a Christmas face/dish cloth for a special gift. It's a very happy Christmas red and I hope the colour doesn't bleed when used. We'll know soon enough!
But today... it's relaxation, hand stitching, and maybe a nap! What are you hand stitching today?

I am still working on a few gifts too. We are in the home stretch now! I finished a big project on Friday. All will be revealed next weekend, after the gifts have been given. Merry Christmas, Kathy!
ReplyDeleteI've knitted a dishcloth using the red/green Lily thread, it didn't bleed when used. Thank you for the wonderful Sunday link up you provide every week. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to finish my third Christmas cushion before Christmas and that's what I will be working on today,have a lovely relaxing Sunday and thank you so much for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for hosting Slow Stitching each week. I enjoy visiting other blogs and getting their support when I need it. I am happy to say that I have no Christmas gifts to finish, but that is because I didn't make any this year. Maybe next year. Looking forward to seeing that gift for your kids.
ReplyDeleteit is always nice to stop by and see whatever one is working. I hope you get your projects done and don't stress out - Have a great Christmas hard to even realize how fast it is getting here and how even though it has been a bit of an awful year it has flown by for me
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect day to me relaxing, stitching and napping! Just have to add cake in there somewhere though! Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, I found special crafters here.
ReplyDeleteHappy Slow Sunday Stitching and Merry Christmas!
Thanks for hosting this link party, Kathy. It is the best! I join a number of link parties but can always count on the stitchers here to be wonderfully supportive. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteAnd another week goes by with my slow stitching project still not started. It is in a basket next to my chair, so I really have no excuse. I think I must not be completely happy with my floss color choices, so will revisit that.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for hosting the link-up, Kathy! It's a special gift every Sunday. Have a wonderful Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect weather for hand stitching in front of the tv while watching a Christmas movie.
ReplyDeleteThat stitchery about 30 unfinished projects is quite appropriate for me this week, as I have found so many new patterns I want to make. Have a wonderful Christmas!
ReplyDeleteNo gifts this year, the holiday crush for me is all about holiday decorating. Now if I can just find the right tree! Hmmm, you're going to temp me take up cross stitch with that little piece there!
ReplyDeletethank you for hosting us every week! And happy holidays to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteSlow stitching Sundays have really been fun to look forward too--though I haven't always done a photo to share!!
ReplyDeleteand I have had cotton yarn for dishcloths in red run--until it gets good and rinsed out--then it stopped and was ok to use--so test some of the leftover yarn and see what it tells you!!!
Merry Christmas--luv and hugs, di
I have 7-8 items to finish for Christmas, but I am not worried, 5 of them are pillowcases for the grandkids and may take an hour. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI decided at the last minute to see if I could get at least one pair of mitts done for a gift.Lots of relaxing knitting time ahead.
ReplyDeleteIt is always lovely to visit here on Sundays to see what you and the other lovely stitchers are working on. I always find my visits filled with inspiration and encouragement. Enjoy your stitching. As always your fingers are working to the bone. =)I hope you are able to finish them. May your Christmas be a lovely one.
ReplyDeleteHi, Kathy. I just found your blog this weekend and have been pouring over all of the lovely posts and visiting other quilters on your Slow Stitching Sunday. What a delight. I decided to link up which is a first for me since I am a new blogger. I look forward to reading through your previous posts and your future posts. Thank you so much for hosting Slow Stitching Sunday. Have a blessed week and a Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHappy Quilting, Melisa
Awesome stitchery pattern! So hilarious and oh so true!

Hi Kathy, I'm looking forward to watching the original Grinch movie this week before Christmas. Thank goodness I have no Christmas presents to make but I'm very busy sewing up my son's quilt top. Since it's been years in the making and he's now moved out and his room is my studio, I need to get a move on! It's my December OMG so hopefully the quilt top will be ready to start quilting in the new year. Have a great Christmas and thanks for hosting. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI admire anyone that makes Christmas gifts, it stresses me out so badly, I stopped that practice long ago. Hope you got your nap in along with lots of stitching time last Sunday.
