Slow Stitching: Choices

It can be really enjoyable to have choices for what you might want to work on, either for machine stitching or by hand.  Today I have three different projects to stitch on, and I'll probably work on one or the other of these all week long!

A blue tabletopper that I'm hand quilting is the first of the things I'll be working on.  This one has a deadline, so it will be my priority for the next few days.


One more plus block in blue is ready to hand-piece.  That will finish up the June blocks for this Rainbow Scrap Challenge project.


And finally, after finishing up the butterfly embroidery last week, I traced out a sweet and simple design from Melisa at PinkernPunkin Quilting.  These little birds remind of the ones we see at our bird bath, sipping away.  This won't take long to stitch, and I think I'll turn it into a small, summery wallhanging for my fridge.


Hope you're able to enjoy some slow stitching today!

Nice options! I'm going to be cutting rather than stitching.

I like that table topper. The penguins are cute. You've really been busy with those plus sign blocks. I like the new embroidery too. The fridge idea is fun. Enjoy your stitching.

With many projects to work on there is much less chance of being bored! I love so many of Melisa's freebies, I am working on yet another of her cross stitch ones.

3 great hand stitching projects, Diann
The Pingouins table topper is so cute, and you know I am in love with your plus blocks since you start hand piecing them. That will be a cute wallhanging embroidery. Have a great Sunday and Stitching week.

All pretty projects, I like to have choices too. PLUS, I really want to make some of those plus blocks, perhaps next year for RSC.
