Welcome to the weekly hand stitching link up party! We encourage you to join us by putting some stitches into one or two of your projects. We put our clocks ahead an hour last night, so we might be a little more tired today, but not too tired to stitch!
I have been enjoying stitching on my full coverage cross stitch project called Treasure Hunt Bookshelf. I wanted to stitch on it according to the olympic medals that Canada won - 200 stitches for a gold medal, 100 stitches for a silver, and 50 for a bronze medal. Canada won 21 medals for a total of 2,150 stitches added to this project in February. It was a fun way to combine the olympics and my stitching!
I also uploaded 2 flosstube videos since last Sunday. The first one is a summary of my February projects including "Stitch the Olympics"
And the second video shows the amazing treasures I found at an estate sale.
Lastly I want to wish everyone a very happy
International Women's Day! I am so very proud of all the beauty this hand stitching community has brought to the world. You inspire me to keep being creative and I am thankful for each one of you!

Canada did very well in the Olympics. UK did pretty well also. Five medals in winter sports is excellent! Your cross stitch is very impressive!
I've just watched your video from yesterdays Estate sale and had to comment! What an amazing collection of fabrics and kits you got. I look forward to seeing the projects develop and Im sure Debbie would be thrilled to know they have gone to an appreciative home! sarah quiltingbythesea
Oh, that's so clever! To combine the Olympics with the stitches is a great way to motivate one into moving forward. Your project is coming along well. Happy Women's Day and happy stitching. ;^)
You are so amazing to make the Flosstube videos like these - they're fun to watch! 2100 stitches in your Treasure Hunt piece is amazing, too. Enjoy your stitching today!
I know what you mean with your heart beating so fast at the sale, been there done that before, LOL. You got so many fantastic surprises, thanks for showing us what all you got!
now I'm going to follow your links, whee! and LOVE love love your first stitching piece, it's kind of an abstract at this stage and I might be tempted to leave it that way LeeAnna
Your full coverage project has really grown recently. Congrats on all the medals won by Canada.
Guess I am too late to the party.Was already to link in and it is closed. dang dang!! I can't believe you and your projects, how do you keep them all straight and now more from estate sale...Lucky you and Barb!!
Such fun watching you show us your treasures from the estate sale. I love how excited you got, as well as acknowledging the lady and her work, you will do her embroideries proud, I'm sure.
Your full coverage piece really grew during the Olympics. I’m sure it’s more fun to work on now that you can see the books emerging. Happy international Women’s Day!
You've made good progress on the Treasure Hunt Bookshelf. That's a lot of stitches!
