Thanks for dropping by the weekly hand stitching party where we're all about needles, threads, fabric, inspiration and self care! It's just pure relaxation, taking deep breaths, and taking one slow stitch at a time.
I am feeling much better after my bout with covid, and I am so happy to be enjoying some stitching time with friends this weekend. Three of us are working on quilt bindings today. Sandy is finishing a scrappy waffle block quilt for donation.
Louise is finishing a happy retirement quilt she made for her husband. The grey backing is a fabric called "fireside" which is so soft and cuddly. It will be a lovely quilt to snuggle up in in the winter.I am finishing a comfort quilt for donation to the guild. The quilt top was made by my friend Lynn and it was machine quilted by another guild member. I should be able to finish this quilt today.
I also finished another sweet cross stitch project. This is the mini strawberry sampler made from a free pattern by Melisa of Pinker 'n Punkin. It is hard to grasp how small these projects are when you see it on the internet, but this one finishes at 5" x 6.5".
Maybe you can tell by seeing this picture of me hand stitching the binding. The little Clover clips are "enhanced" by my friend Debby - so fun to use! My sister would ask me "what are you making that for"? I always answer that I make things so that I can be happy and fairly sane, and that's a good enough reason! LOLWhat are you making today that is helping to make you happy and sane?!? We hope you will share you projects with us at the linky party below.
