Slow Sunday Stitching

Welcome to the weekly hand stitching party! Get out your needles and threads and join us... the more the merrier!

I have enjoy participating in the "Strawberry Moon SAL" on instagram this month and have stitched on 4 different strawberry projects during June. You saw my Strawberry Jam in last week's blog post, and I wanted to show you that my friend Debby is also stitching this design, but on a much smaller count of fabric. Look at the difference in our projects! Her 'Stitch North' needleminder is the same width as her stitching design!


I also wanted to show you Debby's new floss organization idea. Isn't this so cute? I don't have the patience to organize this kind of thing, but I sure do enjoy looking at it!



Tomorrow is Canada Day here and I plan to celebrate by starting my guild's annual summer mystery quilt because that's the best way (for me) to celebrate! I have all the fabrics cut and ready to start sewing as soon as the clue arrives in my inbox! 


And also in celebration of Canada Day, I stitched a miniature wallhanging. This is a free design by Tiny Modernist  and I used 4 different red DMC flosses to make my version. I added a little maple leaf charm and a 2024 charm. Finished size is 4.5" square.

What are you hand stitching today? Are you making something for Canada Day or for the 4th of July celebrations? Link up your blog post below and share your projects with us!

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

    Happy Canada Day weekend to you! Making a mystery quilt sounds like a perfect way to celebrate. We are hosting a bbq for family . I can’t see well enough to stitch on such a small scale! Cute Canada Day stitching.

    Your Strawberry project is just the cutest, Kathy! I think I would stitch it on the larger count cloth, too - so much easier to see where you're going. Happy Canada Day - have fun with the mystery quilt!

    Happy Canda Day, Kathy!
    No slow-stitching here; just slow de-papering.
    All of your cross-stitching certainly has me tempted to dig into my messy section, JUST to see what I all have; it's been years since I've held a needle.
    Soon! Thanks for being inspirational <3
