Welcome to the weekly Slow Sunday Stitching party! Pull out your hand work and join us as we work on our stitching projects.I am attending an online stitching event called "Spring Mingle" (organized by Lindy Stitches) this weekend and have been jumping from project to project. I have started a couple of things, and have not made much progress on anything! I am "spinning my wheels" as they say!
However, I did finish the Quick Quaker Stitch along by Jacob of Modern Folk Embroidery that I started in April. I used a variety of green threads and am happy with how it turned out. I kept telling myself that Mother Nature provides all the greens for us to enjoy in the spring, and they all "go together". Truthfully though, I would remove 2 of them if that were not true!! 😉
This is a photo of my computer screen from yesterday when Jacob shared about his journey as a designer and some of the patterns he has made. I was working on one of his designs (Little Acorns) as I listened.
Today I will be attending a lecture by Jacob where he will talk about errors on historical samplers. I'm really looking forward to learning more from him.What are you up to today? Please share the projects you are hand stitching below.

Love the new header. Happy stitching. Enjoy the lecture!!!
Nice finish on the sampler. Sometimes, I find green to be a tricky colour…all the blues look nice together but some greens do not play as well together. I like your new project. I tend to work away on one cross stitch project at a time. Quilts are another story…. Have a wonderful long weekend.
Your Quaker stitch is so pretty, Kathy! That is a type of design that I haven't tried yet, but I hope to one of these days. Enjoy your online event and your stitching today!
I did an online event this week as well on quilting both longarm and domestic. Lots of great ideas and inspiration there.
Your Quaker stitch is very pretty. I hope you enjoy that lecture. It sounds very interesting.
Hi Kathy, your Quaker piece is gorgeous with those greens :-) Enjoy the lecture.
I too think some greens don't play nicely with others. It sounds as if you are enjoying the lectures. You'll come away with fabulous inspiration and ideas.
The Quaker piece turned out beautifully! Sounds like a very interesting on line event.
