Slow Sunday Stitching- Christmas Countdown

As I sit in my favorite chair this morning, I’m trying to look to the future.. The way I can cope is to look forward to Christmas. It’s only 45 Days!!  That feels impossible! 

I completed the November design on my Woven Wreath project from Kathy Schmitz. 

I loved learning the wheatear stitch and the fishbone stitch. I’m excited to finish this project!

I unearthed a Christmas UFO that needed to be finished. Hometown Christmas by Sweetwater. 

I loved the black and white border, but could not justify spending money on new fabric, when I had lots and lots of Christmas fabric. Consequently, my fabric didn’t have a lot of black! 

  

I pulled possible border fabric from my stash! Nothing made me happy!  So off to my favorite local fabric store. The owner and quilter extraordinaire, Nicki, suggested these two options ⤵️

I chose the red and black Buffalo check. 

And I started yet another slow stitch. I had this kit and 2 others from Rachel’s of Greenfield in my stash with the intent of Christmas tree ornaments for my Grands and Great Grands. I have more than 6! 

I’m barely started this morning. I started with the Gingerbread Man and have the pieces cut for the Star Snow person and the Santa Face.

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful!
