I'm so happy to be your host after all these years! Thank you for coming back, for reading my posts, for linking up your posts, and most especially... thank you for all the words of encouragement that you leave for all the slow stitchers! Because stitching is mostly a solitary activity, we do enjoy connecting with others who share our wonderful hobby!
I made a New Year's Eve video to share my plans for a 12 x 12 day, which means you pick 12 projects and stitch each of them for only 1 hour. You can watch that video here. And if you want to see the results of the day, you can watch the progress video here.
Also, here is my last big finish in 2024 which was the Nordic Christmas Countdown project from Evertote, Modern Folk Embroidery and Roxy Floss.
It used 25 different floss colours and contains so many different motifs. The birds and the reindeer are my favourites, but I loved stitching it all! Total number of stitches = 5,465!
For yesterday afternoon's sewing I tried something new - a "4 thread day". My idea was to stitch one thread on 4 different projects. Does that sound like a good idea or a bad one? Maybe it's a little too frenetic for some people, but it did give me a chance to work on 4 completely different stitches. I stitched one thread of red, one of white, one blue, and one purple!

Hi Kathy, thanks so much for hosting this weekly link party, I really appreciate it and I'm sure all the others who join up do as well. Just in case you are wondering why I am often one of the early ones who link up, it's all about the timing. Mr Google tells me that the time in New Zealand is about 18 hours ahead of Canada. So while I'm waiting to get to bed at 11.00pm on Sunday night, I guess you are welcoming in a lazy Sunday morning.
Happy New Year to you Kathy and a big thank you for hosting slow Sunday stitching! Your 2024 folk cross stitch is lovely. Im working on a new project today, doing the prep work for my class tomorrow and trying to design a lighthouse for it (should be interesting). Off to watch your 12 x 12 video.
Your Nordic Christmas is beautiful! The colours and the motifs! How will you finish this one off for display ? Lots of stitching projects underway ! I tend to work on one at a time but just remembered I never did finish my lupins. I will have to finish it after my winter picture. Thanks for continuing to host Slow Sunday Stitching. Happy New year!
Your Nordic Christmas stitch is just delightful, Kathy! So many fun details to look at. You have a lot of great ideas for getting a variety of stitching done! I think I'll start something new today, just for fun!
I love the idea of working on four different projects with one thread! That is right up my alley.
I work on several different projects every day. I like variety in my day so your 4 thread day sounds perfect to me. Your Nordic Christmas Countdown is beautiful. I love that it has so many colors. Thank you so much for continuing to host this stitching party. I enjoy connecting with you and other stitchers each week.
your 2024 stitching is so pretty such a neat pattern
Use the bag maybe not for groceries but retreat would be good idea. "D" is s the best letter and should stand out!! Haha enjoy you videos, it's like having a visit with you.
Beautiful finish, and lovely projects you are working on! Thanks for hosting all these years and continuing to provide this venue to link up!
Thanks for your continual weekly Slow Sunday Stitching linky <3. Your idea of the 12x12 is so inspiring! Now, to find time for everything on the plate...ha. Happy Sunday
Happy New Year to you, Kathy. Another year of lovely slow stitching on many a Sunday. Thank you for taking the time to host this fun party. You certainly have lots of wonderful stitching to keep you content throughout this year.
