I have enjoyed a wonderful week of watching the olympics and stitching. I am playing a little game with myself to put in a certain number of hand stitches into a project for every medal that Canada wins. We now have 3 silver (100 x 3) and 5 bronze (50 x 5) medals, for a total of 550 stitches.
I'm also stitching with #thenaptimestitcher using the categories she created for what kind of project to stitch every day. This is my Canadian Sampler by Erin Elizabeth Designs and it has received many more stitches while cheering for the Canadian athletes this week.
Are you stitching along while watching the olympics? What country are you cheering for during the games? Please link up your blog post below and share your slow stitching with us!

We’ve been watching the olympics too…mostly in the evenings. Interesting stitching strategy…we just won a gold medal so now you have more stitching to do! How many stitches do you have to do for a gold medal? Nice Canadian sampler project!
Your Canadian Sampler is coming right along, Kathy! I like to follow certain sports like curling and ice skating. All of the athletes have such interesting stories. Happy stitching today!
I've been watching a lot of the skiing and skating competitions, and I need to find a stitching project. The Luge Relay was different, I haven't seen that one before. So many talented athletes from all over the world are competing, I kind of have to cheer for all of them.
Canada are doing well in the Olympics. I am of course cheering on team GB. One Gold and fingers crossed for some more!
I watch some of the Olympics but not all
That is a lot of stitches! Good for you!
Your Canadian sampler is lovely!
I am spending many hours stitching during the Olympics while rooting for the USA team. Your Canadian sampler is fantastic. I like how you are keeping track of the medals. Enjoy your stitching.
No TV in my sewing room, so I've only seen the Olympics when I've been at the quilt shop. You've definitely made good use of your viewing time!
