Slow Sunday Stitching


Welcome to the weekly hand stitching party! It's hard to believe it's already the last link up for January, but the sooner the winter passes, the better!


I have another finished project to share today. I started this stitching as a St. Patrick's day gift to myself last year.  It was such a fun project, and I finished the cross stitch in the summer, but didn't know what I wanted to do with it. I finally put it together with a batting and backing, and put a binding on it to be a wallhanging for a gift exchange.  I made a little split hanging sleeve (stitched into the binding) on the back and put a wooden skewer through the sleeve to easily hang it. 


This is a pattern called "Stitcher" by Misty Pursel of Luminous Fiber Arts. I love how it turned out with the variegated Weeks Dye Works threads in the green colour called "Lucky".

Finished size: 10.5" x 5.5"

Today I'll be happily working on a quilt binding. What are you hand stitching today? We hope you will link up your blog/instagram post and share your projects below.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

    Your pretty cross stitch in those variegated green threads looks wonderful as a little wall hanging. It is perfect for a gift exchange.

    That is a very cute cross stitch. I like the effect of the variegated thread. I use it occasionally but never on a whole project. Do you complete every stitch or do a row?

    That's a fun finish, Kathy! The green floss is great for it - makes me think Spring. Enjoy stitching that binding today!

    Your St. Pats day project turned out beautifully. Enjoy your slow stitching today. Sounds like you are very close to a finished quilt.

    I like that backing fabric. The skewer is a good idea for hanging. Love this piece.

    What a lovely gift for one of your stitching friends! I like the way you finished this one off. Hope you had a relaxing time while hand sewing the binding.
