Slow Sunday Stitching

Welcome to the weekly hand stitching party! Pick up one of your projects and enjoy some restful stitching with us!

Thank you to all who offered me organizational tips on last week's post. I haven't had a chance to put anything into practice yet because I have been struggling with a bout of covid. I haven't accomplished anything except staying alive, and putting a few stitches in some projects. I have been thinking about my stitching as medicine and have been so thankful for something creative to focus on (when my mind wasn't muddled and my head didn't hurt)! 


I would say to myself "time for my medicine" and pull out a project bag! I might or might not add some stitches, but it helped me to feel better just to look at it! I was able to finish up my October Square Dance block and felt very proud of that.


Until I really looked at the photo I took. 
Uh oh... there are some wonky covid stitches in there for sure! It's not quite as finished as I thought! Oh well, it was very helpful medicine for me this week, and the missing stitches can still be added.
I'm planning to skip the November block (pineapples) and go straight to the December Christmas ornament block.

What are you hand stitching this week? Do you find your slow stitching to be medicinal? Link up your blog post below and share your projects with us!

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

Sorry to hear you have been under the weather. Just a few more stitches to finish up and your October project will be done. Hope you are feeling better soon.

I'm so sorry you've been sick this week! That's no fun, and I'm sure it means you haven't been able to see your grandbaby. Stitching is definitely good medicine - the October design is a sweet one!

Sorry to hear you have covid but have some good medicine! I consider any crafty project as well as gardening my medicine!

Chantal said...

Oh no! Not Covid! I wish you a speedy recovery. Take care. P.S. Love the little owls. ;^)

Angela said...

Oh, feel better soon! I agree our stitching is medicine!

Kate said...

So sorry you've had to endure a bout of Covid. Hopefully you are well into the feeling better part. It does help to have something to stitch on when I don't feel well.

So sorry you were not feeling well, hope you are better soon.

So sorry you contracted COVID, and hope you recover fully soon. Love your owl piece, I wouldn't have noticed the problem unless you pointed it out.

My daughter came down with Covid two days after returning from a quilt retreat trip to Norway. I hope your recovery is swift and complete. Have to get back to that grandbaby after all.

Oh dear, Covid, do hope you are recovering well. We contracted Covid for the first time earlier this year, after we congratulated ourselves for never getting it.
