Lots of slow stitching this week...

I worked on several different projects this week during my evening slow stitching time.  Some stitches were put into this butterfly embroidery.  This was a design from Kathy Schmitz's One Stitch at a Time Club in 2021.

You can see there's still a ways to go on this one - 
I've only been working on it when I haven't prepped any other stitching!

I also hand-pieced two new plus blocks for my Rainbow Scrap Challenge hand-pieced project - a bright blue and a dark blue.  

I've been making six of these each month for the quilt,
so time to cut some more squares to stitch this week!

I finished up the light green hexie flower that I showed in last week's Sunday post, and then made a dark blue one, too.  

My plan, so far, is to applique these to a background square, 
which I did with the light blue flower earlier this week.

Today, I have the green flower ready to applique to a background square, and will enjoy that for my slow Sunday stitching time!


Have a wonderful Sunday!

Lots of pretty hand stitching. Your hand piecing of the plus blocks is fabulous and your hexies are such happy little pretties. Sweet little embroidered butterfly; cute sun.

That’s a really pretty embroidery you are working on. I wish I could find fabric in the uk with words on. I love your hexies so much, the colours just pop!

Your little hexie flowers are pretty, especially against the background. You must have some neat plans for those. I like your plus blocks. Reminds me I need to replenish my "text" and black and white prints. :)
