Welcome to the Slow Sunday Stitching link up where we celebrate all the benefits of hand stitching. It's also Easter, which is a busy time for some families, so I hope you can find even a few minutes in between all the activities to pick up a needle and thread and put some stitches into a project you are working on.
I have been working on a new cross stitch project called "There is room" by The Proper Stitcher. I talked about it in my March video and I am using a variety of pink threads from my stash. The fabric is a hand dyed 18 count aida from Million of Stitches.
This design on the top left was particularly fun to stitch. I'm not really sure what it is, but it looks like easter lilies to me!
Today I hope to put a few more stitches into this beauty. But there will be lots of cooking, visiting, and hunting for Easter eggs, so we shall see if much stitching gets done!
What are your plan for today? What projects might you be working on? Link up your blog post below and share your progress.

Love the sentiment on your stitching piece. I’m in total agreement! Happy Easter to you and your family. It’s a sunny day here…good day for a long walk outside before doing some slow stitching. Gail
That is a really pretty design, and a great statement on it, too. I love how the motifs seem to go off the edge of the piece. Happy Easter, Kathy!
Such a good message! Happy Easter!
Happy Easter to you! As we’ve gotten older, we’ve simplified our Easter menu with simple hotdogs and hamburgers! I plan to continue stitching my Fields Of Fancy BOM. That will be my focus until I’m all caught up. There is Room Is such a pretty pattern with such a beautiful message!
What a pretty cross-stitch project. I may have to make it sometime soon. Happy Easter! Enjoy your stitching.
Love your embroidery pieces. I used to do some but as I get older, my eyes are getting worse. Now I just make quilts.
You are off to a good start with your new project. You picked a very pretty spring color for it. Hope you had a very happy Easter.
Yes, Easter is a busy day for many families! Because of health issues, my daughter had a fabulous idea of hiding fidget toys vs. candy filled eggs. It was a fun filled day for all the grands – from 15 – 9 years old. Their laughter and gratitude was touching.
Oh my gosh, the top left design looks complicated but so delicate and lovely! You’re inspiring to get to those annual cross-stitched ornaments for my grandchildren!
Thank you for hosting and sharing!
