I start stitching projects often. It seems they are DrEAMI projects for me. Drop Everything and Make It kinds of things. I am always starting a new one and I have a drawer full of stitchery that need to be completed. You know, made into a pillow, or framed and hung on the wall, or turned into a needle case or pincushion!
This is the latest one, started in October. Hopefully by next Christmas it will be completed! It’s called Hometown Christmas by Sweetwater. A friend in my Thursday Stitchers Group purchased it at a local quilt show. I did not attend ,I was out of town. But I found it online, at Shabby Fabrics.
This is the third block, I’ll finish it today. You can see that I mostly use a hoop and magnifiers. For the blanket stitching around the trees I am not using a hoop. They are stiff and I have better control not using a hoop.
I had to purchase muslin for the stitching and the applique, but all the other fabrics are from the Christmas bin! I have lots of Nancy Halvorsen fabrics from several years. I love the non-traditional colors. Oh, there is red and green, but also aqua, black, and lime green.
I'm linking this up to Kathy's Slow Stitching Sunday!
Stay Busy and Stay Happy!
Happy Slow Stitching today!
