Trying Something New ~ Stitching In Hand

"Stitching in hand"

which means stitching without a hoop or frame.

I learned this method from
Kimberly Jolly @ Fat Quarter Shop Flosstube
which I watch every week
whether I am actively working on a cross stitch project or not.

Then

I last worked on this project, 

 Vintage Christmas Sampler HERE.

and was using this heavy wooden frame.
It worked well, but I want my project to be easier to carry with me
to stitch wherever I happen to be.

Since I am a seasonal stitcher and quilter,

I put this away during the warm weather and growing season.

It is cold here now and we had a killing frost last night.

Time to bring out the cold weather projects.

and 

Now

So I am trying this new method.
So far so good.

Linking up today with



Slow Sunday Stitching @ Kathy's Quilts

Lots of lovely projects in the links.

Happy Sunday Stitching!
