Slow Sunday Stitching

 Welcome to the weekly hand stitching party!

Unfortunately your host is under the weather this week and won't be much fun. I succumbed to Covid early in the week with the usual symptoms (sore throat, cough, headache, fever, exhaustion, loss of taste and smell) and haven't been able to do any stitching at all. You know I'm really sick when there is NO stitching going on!

I have been catching up on reading quilting blogs which has been a real treat. I haven't been leaving many comments mostly because it has been too taxing, but know that I appreciate YOU and all your stitching, writing, photography and blogging skills!

Somehow I had previously missed seeing a beautiful summer sewalong project that Aurifil threads is hosting called "Stitching Kindness".  I discovered this project on Anorina's blog called Samelia's Mum where she is beautifully stitching her words in a variety of thread colours to match 30's prints. I am dreaming of starting this project and many others as soon as I can sit up in bed!

In spite of a bedridden host, the party goes on, stitching continues and we look forward to seeing your slow progress - here's the link...

I am sad to read that you are not feeling well, Kathy, having succumbed to Covid and all its nasty repercussions. I do hope you are soon feeling better. The stitching of words in pretty thread colours does sound pretty. Take care, and hopefully you are stitching up a storm very soon.

Oh dear Kathy, I do hope you get over this dreaded Covid very soon. Doesn't sound like much fun at all. Get well soon. So far, we have managed to steer clear of Covid, while several people we know have been sick, plus a couple ending up in hospital. Thank heaven for the RAT tests, we have had several over the last months, in fact the last one was at the hospital before I went to see the specialist, so far all returning a negative result.

Oh No Kathy!
Thank God the symptoms are mild and you've been vaccinated.
Take care of yourself.
I will be checking the sew along project, thanks for the tip.

Oh I am so sorry that you are ill. I wish you a speedy recovery. My husband and I are doing our best to avoid COVID. We've been lucky so far, but I am sure it is just a matter of time. I hope you are back to stitching soon.

Get well soon, Kathy! :)

Sorry the Covid bug has invaded and hope you feel better soon. After all, those mysteries and QALs won't get done by themselves. I remain one of the diminishing number who haven't caught it yet, but I know it's only a matter of time.

Poor you, I hope you feel better soon and manage a stitch or two soon!

LA Paylor said...

Oh Kathy, I'm so sorry... this new variant is not responding to vax I hope yours is a short case at least not long covid. Don't feel like you have to do anything but what brings comfort, and I'm impressed and grateful you set up the party for us. Thank you, wishes for a speedy recovery. LeeAnna

So sorry you got COVID, I know personally it is no fun. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

julieQ said...

I am so sorry. Bummer...hope you are all well soon!

loulee said...

Get well soon.

AnnieO said...

Ugh! That is too bad--this variant is so contagious but doesn't seem to be putting people in the hospital. The doctor I work for got it after he and his wife were on a cruise, both fully vaccinated.
Hope you are not having to work while you are sick, that stinks.

Suzanne said...

I hope you feel better soon. Won't it be wonderful to feel like sewing again?!

Denise :) said...

Oh bummer, Kathy ... I'm so sorry! I pray you're feeling better soon and you feel up to stitching again sooner! :)

Deanna W said...

Hope that covid nasty is almost gone. You will be on the mend and ready for the Piranha weekend. I am so looking forward to that weekend and having you all here at my house! Take care!
