Slow Sunday Stitching

Welcome to the weekly stitching party! And I need to party this week! It has been a very frustrating week with getting a new phone, and waiting for my grandbaby to arrive. Technology and babies do not care about what is logical or what should happen. They have their own agenda and will force you to conform to what they want!

I did manage to access a photograph of my newest cross stitch finish and I am so happy that it is done! This is the advent project called "A Pretty Song". This is the 2025 collaboration between Evertote, Roxy floss and Modern Folk Embroidery. There are 4,903 stitches on a 25 count evenweave fabric called "Vanilla Custard". It uses 25 different flosses that came in the Evertote advent box last December. It was such fun that I have signed up again for this year's advent box! 

What are you hand stitching in November? Are you trying to get some finishes so you can start working on Christmas gifts? Link up your blog post below and share your projects with us!

Your cross-stitch finish is so pretty, Kathy! I love the colors in it. Hope that baby makes an appearance this week, and you get more comfortable with your new phone. That's always a challenge!

A Pretty Song turned out beautifully. Sorry for the frustration with all the new stuff coming. Best wishes to mom and the new baby (when it arrives).

I have to get myself a new phone soon. I have been saying so since June. Best wishes for the new grandbaby and family whenever it arrives. I love that cross-stitch piece. The floss colors are so pretty.

That's such a beautiful cross stitch, well done. Hopefully the new baby will have arrived by now. Then you can tell us all about this precious new bundle next week.

Your cross stitch is gorgeous! I’m hand stitching a large quilt currently……progress is slow but I am enjoying sinking my needle in!
