Slow Sunday Stitching

Welcome to the weekly hand stitching meeting!

As the snow flies outside my window this weekend, I must admit that I am sick of winter.  I am dreaming of warmer days, fresh air, green grass, birds, and flowers. I find myself as busy as a bee, diving into some spring themed projects. I started and finished stitching a pattern from Helen Dailey called "Robins and Raindrops" (scroll to the bottom of the page for the free pattern download). It's a strange name for this project since there are no robins nor are there any raindrops!

But there are lots of flowers and bees and even a snail which I love! It's all about the spring theme and I NEED that right now! It was a very quick and fun stitchery and I'm planning to make it into a cute little pillow this week.

I also finished stitching the first lady in the Flosstube Friends pattern. I am participating in a round robin with 5 other Canadian Flosstubers and we plan to exchange projects at the end of March, and continue to stitch on each other's pieces throughout the year. I loved stitching the pattern in her dress and once it was finished, can you believe that I spotted one missing pink X!?! I'm leaving it that way because perfection is not my goal - I just stitch to enjoy peacefulness and joy!

I also wanted to share that next Saturday is International Quilting Day and if you would like to celebrate the day with my quilt guild (joining together with 2 other local guilds and quilters around the world!), you are most welcome to join our virtual celebration via the Zoom platform. You can access all the information at the Royal City Quilters' Guild website. I am looking forwad to the day and hearing Priscilla Bianchi's presentation on her journey of creating unique textile art.

Please share a link to your blog post so we can enjoy seeing what you are stitching this week!

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
