Slow Sunday Stitching

 Welcome to the weekly hand stitching party! Take some time today to power down your brain and enjoy the benefits of relaxation with your favourite hand work. 

I can hardly wait to share my most recent finish with you today! This pattern is one of the Blessings Samplers from Chris the Camping Stitcher's etsy shop. I started it on New Year's Eve and now it is a finished wall hanging! I used a 25 count pewter lugana and 3 different blue Roxy floss threads to make this piece. It measures 7" x 9".

I finished this cross stitch like I do all of my miniature quilts. I ironed a stabilizer on the back of the stitching since it's a bit larger than a "mini". The single binding is cut at 1 3/8", attached on the front using a 1/4" seam allowance, folded to the back and hand stitched down. I added the split handing sleeve at the top, and the triangle label at the bottom. I usually write the name and designer of the pattern, and my name as the maker. Sometimes I add the year or other pertinent information on the label.

It has been a while since I have experienced the joy of finishing a project and it has inspired me to look at what else I can finish in my sewing room!

Do you have any finishes to share with us this week? Are you longing to have a finish? We understand! Keep stitching and eventually you will get there!
