Day (and the stitching) Is Done

Woo - hoo!

It is stitched. 

Tomorrow I will take better photos in daylight.

Sweet Dreaming! 

Still Here ~ Still Stitching

How cute are these little llama floss bobbins?

Llama Thread Keeper Floss Bobbins

that I found at 

Fat Quarter Shop

I love them!

Here I am ... still slow stitching on my 

  Quilty Love Cross Stitch 

 My stitching is so slow it almost feels like I am stitching still sometimes.

Today I had to pick out the red heart in the row I am currently working on

and move it down two spaces.

I only have to finish this row and put two small hearts between the quilt motifs

in the middle row.

This pattern calls for a few more hearts, but I decided long ago

that I wanted more white background showing 

for a crisp modern look.

The pattern also calls for strips of ric-rac stitched on between the rows,

but I have also made the design decision to omit this trim

and the button embellishments in the center of the motifs.

It has been a busy few days and I am tired tonight.

It is a damp night and I am thinking to turn in early,

Tomorrow shall be anther day of stitching fun.

Sweet Stitching Dreams! 

One Day and Counting

I am stitching ...and stitching ... and stitching.

I am making progress.

This is my stitching log for this project.

At this point I have been logged 33 and a half hours.

Also,  I forgot to record a few times when I just 

snatched a few minutes of stitching here and there. 

I  am  a  s-l-o-w  s-t-i-t-c-h-e-r.

If you look close in the shadows at the top of this photo,
you will see Nutmeg is sleeping on the job 

on one of her favorite warm spots,

a small quilt folded on top of the steam radiator in the living room.

OMG ... I may not get this done.

February Count Down ends tomorrow 

Better go put in a few more "x"s 

before I get my needed "z"s

Slow Sunday Stitching Progress

Tonight I did some slow stitching on my 

Quilty Love Cross Stitch

It may not look like much progress,

but I made two more design changes

and am very happy with how this is looking. 

Linking up today with the

Slow Sunday Stitchers @ Kathy's Quilts

Hope you had a nice stitching weekend.

Progress on my Quilty Love Cross Stitch Started Here

I am matching my DMC colors to this

Love Letters Fabric @ Fat Quarter Shop

I have some very special plans for this cross stitch.


For  my

One Monthly Goal in February

I hope to finish the cross stitch part of this project.

Stitching is slow for me with my vision issues
so this part of the project is enough for me for one month.

Last Slow Sunday Stitching of January 2020

Onto Row 3 for my ... 

Quilty Love Cross Stitch

My sewing and stitching have all been slow this weekend 

and my naps have been long.

On Friday I decided it was time to take my fatigue and congestion to the doctor

and I was put on antibiotics for a sinus infection.

Infections of this type are not all that unusual for me in winter

when my indoor allergies fester with the house closed up. 

I am starting to feel better 

and hope to catch up on my quilty commitments 

this week. 

Linking up with the lovely slow stitching in progress at

Slow Sunday Stitching @ Kathy's Quilts

Happy Stitching!

I am stitching along with the

This is another new WIP.

I am beginning to think I need to stop starting new projects

but I saw all the stitching in progress and I just could not resist.  

It is late at night here and was sewing today on one of my quilty commitments

when this project called my name because my floss arrived today!

I am choosing medium red, pink and light seagreen DMC floss for this project.

These seem to be some of my favorite colors brightening the winter this year.

I am also using 10 count Vintage Aida and my Q-Snap Frame again.

I am hoping to accomplish this one in about a month,

working on it only late a night right before sleep.

Sweet Quilty Love Dreams!
