Slow Stitching this week

Last week I shared that I had started a new hand-pieced project, Scrappy Trips blocks in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color of the month.   So now there are two pink blocks!



Then I went back to working on the Gail Pan embroidery design I had started.  That's what I'll be working on today for my slow stitching time.  Just a little bit left to do! 




For a New Year's present for myself I bought a membership for Kathy Schmitz's One Stitch at a Time Club.  It will be fun to have a new little design to work on each month!


As a thank you for joining, she sent me this design called "Spring Sing."  At our house, the birds are here year round, so I will probably trace this one and get it ready to stitch next.

Pretty pinks! I've been curious about the One Stitch at a Time Club and had looked into it a while ago (probably when she visited our guild). Love her designs.

sometimes I think I would like to get back into embroidery - then I think no don't start one more craft or will never get done with things!

Your hand-sewn Scrappy Trips blocks are perfect. What a nice reward to yourself for getting through what was a very trying year for you. May 2021 be brighter, happier and healthier for everyone.

Your Scrappy Trips pink blocks are so pretty. Your new stitchery for this year sounds as if it will be lovely and so enjoyable to stitch. Love the free little birdie stitchery. How lovely that birds and their sweet songs are always at your place. Enjoy stitching that pretty little blue stitchery today.

Gail Pan designs are nice, but I havent yet come across the other designer. But the bird design looks very pretty.
Good on you for hand piecing, not quite my thing, however.
