A Hand Stitching Project

Football season is upon us and that means if it's Sunday, and the Denver Broncos are playing, they are on at our house.  Sometimes I disappear into my sewing studio, but sometimes I want to watch, too, and that means some hand stitching is nice to have ready.

Recently I got started on a pre-printed whole cloth piece that I found at a local quilt shop.   I bought two, and here is one still in the package.


I layered the top with some batting and a piece of muslin, and have been using some variegated quilting thread to quilt along the lines.


Very simple, not much thinking involved in this, just stitching along and enjoying the process.  I've made several of these in the past, and with a small border, a backing, and some binding they make nice little wall-hangings to give as gifts to special people.

I think I will definitely be enjoying some slow stitching today!

Linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.

    What a great idea! We are big college football fans, and although I'm glued to the screen when the Sooners play, I could actually tear my eyes away during other games and do something like this. :)

    Hand Stitching??? You have the patience of a saint but I am curious as a cat. So, I'll be watching your progress. I am sure it will turn out beautifully.
