Welcome to the weekly hand stitching party! We invite you to settle in for some relaxation, visit our inspiring stitchers at the links below, and take some time to put a few stitches in one of your favourite projects.
This week I finished stitching the unique animals in the Needlework Press "Gather Together" which is a collection of 9 unusual animals (patterns from antique samplers). I worked on this project while watching the Blue Jays world series and it helped to bring me joy even though they lost the last game! I think I will finish it into a little wallhanging to use for Thanksgiving.
My full coverage project also got some attention this week and is almost at 10% of the total stitches. This is a Heaven and Earth Design pattern called Mini Treasure Hunt Bookshelf stitched on 25 count easy grid lugana. There are lots of blank places across the top of the design until I decide if I am going to use white threads or Kreinik threads which would be prettier and sparkly, but which I detest stitching with. Maybe I'll put in some stitches in both options and see which I think looks best. Today I'll be working on binding a quilt for the quilt guild. It will be a relaxing and enjoyable task - my favourite mindless hand stitching!
